Because I have been designing so many different templates (99 just for the State Template Series and the Countries of the World Template Series alone) I am trying to keep them fresh by using new and different "outside the box" ideas.

Scrapbook Layout Template Freebie
For the Turkey template I used a post card motif. Yesterday for the Norway Template I used a scrapbook layout theme. So today I am offering the Scrapbook Layout Template.
I hope you have fun using this template. I enjoyed making my Disney layout.

Iraq Template Freebie
Today's template (along with the Turkey and the Israel templates offered a few days ago and the Afghanistan template coming tomorrow) was requested by someone to use for military stationed in those areas. I elected not to use military symbols or themes in these templates because those things can be added when you do your own personal layouts.
I wanted the templates so that anyone living or visiting any country could use them without political or religious controversy. If a template is meant to be religious (Passover or Christmas) or political (4th of July or Bastille Day) then that is what the theme will be.
However, there are many different people who call these countries home. Just as there are many political and religious differences right here in the US. I don't think it would be correct to put British symbols and references on a United States template even though the British original ruled this country. That is why I am not putting American references on the Iraqi or Afghanistan templates.
Feel free to add whatever you want to make your template reflect your interest in that particular country. Here is the Iraq Template.

2 for 1 Freebies: Turkey Template and Postcard Template
Sometimes a designer makes something and it seems to be much better than to them than
anything else they have made. This next template comes close for me.
I'm always trying to find a new way to display the countries on the templates because counting the State Template Series I have already designed 84 of these kinds of templates (with 10 more to do AND THEN the Major Cities of the World Series.)
(Don't panic if your numbers don't add up right, I am 5 ahead of today's download as far as designing goes.)
While lying in the bed one morning on a day off I came up with what I thought was a great idea to display a country on its template. There wasn't a particular country in mind except that it was time to design the Turkey template. I got up and worked around with the idea until I came up with the design for the Turkey Template.
I liked the overall look of the design but I knew the likelihood of going to Turkey myself was very small. So I thought I would make a template using the postcard as well. So today you get 2 freebies for the price of one...free. 

So here is the Postcard Template. I used a picture we took of the Magic Kingdom and I used the Disney Dearm Trip stuff from Seebee's Freebies.
