MouseScrappers Weekly Challenge

Hey everybody just wanted to let you know that I'm hosting a weekly challenge over at MouseScrappers from October 3rd through October 9th!

I don’t know about some of you but when I create a layout I have to use a template. My brain doesn’t work on “create your own” mode so one of the things I like to do is take a template and make it my own. So, for my challenge you MUST use a template and you MUST modify it in some way.

For full details go to MouseScrappers Weekly Challenge #154 thread... HERE

To make it easier I wanted to provide to you a couple links to two of my favorite designers of free templates.

One has a Template Saturday and the other has a Template Tuesday.

First is Linda from MJ-AJ Designs. She is wonderful and I have used her templates over and over again…literally! She has a terrific Template Saturday blog post that I look forward to each week.  Here is her link… MJ-AJ Designs

Second is Megan from Designs by Megan Turnidge. She has lots of freebie templates that are great for creating that perfect layout. She has a terrific Template Tuesday blog post that you can find here… Megan Turnidge Designs and her facebook page has freebies too!! Click HERE to go to her facebook page.

Here are my examples. First I used two of Linda’s (MJ-AJ Designs) templates to create my Castaway Cay layout from our recent cruise. I used template #64 and then used her MouseScrappers 2 template.

I liked the photo layout on the first template but I needed them to be horizontal rather than vertical so I rotated it right. I liked the background papers on the MouseScrappers 2 template so I grabbed those layers and dragged it onto my working template. I combined the two and deleted some of the extra paper strips I didn’t need and tahdah!!! Now I have the perfect template to meet my needs. Here is my completed layout...

My second layout I used Megan Turnidge Designs Tuesday template week 26. I really liked all the star clusters and the film strip is what drew me in to the template. I simply enlarged the entire cluster and then dragged it down so I could use my large photo on top.

Here is my result...

I’d like to thank Natalie from Natalie’s Place Designs for donating this wonderful Participation Prize. I know she has a very busy schedule and a Disney trip coming very soon so I greatly appreciate her creating these wonderful Boo To You Pinwheels. They are so CUTE!!! Please be sure comment on her blog to tell her thank you!

So be sure to stop over at MouseScrappers to check out more details on my Weekly Challenge #154.  If you participate you will get those wonderful Boo To You Pinwheels as your prize!!  I can't wait to see what everyone creates!

Wishing you a magical evening!
