Connecticut Template Freebie

Only one more in the State Template Series after today. It seems like just yesterday that Pat from Houston asked me to make a Texas template like the North Carolina template I had posted.

Today's State Template Series freebie is the Connecticut template. This was another state that was difficult to pin down on a template so I decided to go with simplicity this time. I added the brackets so that you could put your journaling in them.

More DIP State Template Freebies Ready

Thanks again to Lisa at Oscrapmomo's for converting more of the State template Series Templates to DIP!!

If you have no idea what that means, then you don't need to worry because it isn't anything you will need! This is simply a different format than Paint Shop Pro or Photo Shop.

Lisa sent me several, but I'm only posting 4 right now. I'll post more tomorrow. So make sure you come back!

Just right click on the link and select "save as." Please let me see your layouts when you are finished!

Aloha: Hawaii Template Freebie

My list of state templates has now reached 31! I never even thought about doing that many when I made the first one, the North Carolina template.

If you have already downloaded that one, you will notice it doesn't actually say North Carolina on it. That's because I wasn't intending to do anything else. Oh well. That one will have to be different.

Today's template, Hawaii template is being uploaded as my Dad and his wife take off for their trip to the islands.

My fiance' and I went to Hawaii last year for his work. They paid for everything but the food and the side tours. We were there 11 days and went to 3 islands. Of course we'd love to go back again!

Template Schedule

Ok, so far I have a total of 8 states and 2 foreign countries on my "to do" list. Make sure you add your requests in the comments either here or on 4 Shared and I will add you to the list. As I get the requests I add that state to the list. There is no particular order. I am doing states first and then the countries.

Already uploaded are North Carolina, Texas and Georgia.

Tomorrow I will upload California.

See you then.


P.S. Texas is kicking NC's butt right now (see this post if you don't know what I mean.) But I think there are a few more people living in Texas than in North Carolina! But that is no excuse, NC! Get off you rear end and download our state! LOL

By Request: Texas Template Freebie

Never let it be said that I don't aim to please! When Pat from Houston jokingly asked when I was going to make a Teaxs template I thought that since I had lived in Texas at one point I would need something for future layouts.

But then I went hunting for photos of my time in Texas and couldn't hardly find any that hadn't already been paper scrapped. My ex was stationed with the Army at Ft. Hood and we moved to Killeen when our son was 3 months old. A few years ago I made a baby scrapbook for my son and all the good pictures of that time frame are already in use.

This picture was taken at a park near our apartment in Killeen. As you can see, my son (who is 20 now) was just a little baby! Unbelievable how fast they grow!

So here is the Texas Template. Let's see which downloads the most times...the North Carolina template or the Texas template!

Nothing Could Be Finer...North Carolina Template Freebie

Today's freebie, North Carolina Template, comes with a disclaimer! I searched high and low and even tried to make one myself, but I could not find a border with dogwoods on it. The mask I used is supposed to represent dogwoods which are the state flower of NC. I know most of you don't know, don't care and/or didn't notice. But for the few of you who take North Carolina seriously, I wanted to let you know in advance! LOL
This template can be used if you are a native of NC and you want to scrap something close to home. It can also be used for those of you who have traveled to the great North State and have been looking for a way to display your photos to show where you have been without having to use all your journaling space trying to explain where the event took place.

I have encluded a "you are here" star so that you can "mark your spot" on the map of NC (like I did in my layout of the Outer Banks.)

You might even consider using this template if your child has a project due in school. I know around the 3rd or 4th grade we studied everything about our state. Or maybe you child has to pick a state to do a report on. North Carolina's about as good as it gets!

If you haven't been to North Carolina you should seriously consider it. We have beaches, mountains, theme parks, NASCAR, football, basketball, Revolutionary War history, a professional hockey team and even pirates!
