I’m turning 40…so here is a FREEBIE template

15/08/200722/01/2014

Goodness, 40, the big four 0 – Not sure if I am ‘fab at 40’ , ‘over the hill’, or is my life just beginning?

I have been digi-scrapping since January 07, and thought by 40th birthday would be an appropriate time to take the plunge with creating a freebie.

After a few requests and unsubtle hints I have started with a template from one of my ABC pages I am creating. It was inspired by a brag book template I purchased from Debbie Fisher over at pickleberrypop. It is a slow work in progress – I have finally reached the letter N! I am using the Celebrating Color Collection by the Weeds and Wildflower girls, which is available at Scrapartist.com.

So here is the original layout

and here is the freebie template

I would love to know what you think, so please leave a comment here, sign the guest book (in the retro tv above) or on 4shared.

Check back for more freebie templates, but it the meantime, take care from Northern Ireland

Enjoy

Great freebies! I’ve added your site to digifree but you have a limited RSS feed so my system can’t see your whole post (and so the freebies). If you change it the system will find you.

Thanks for your great feedback! 🙂

So nice to visit your blog for the first time with a link from IkeaGoddesses’ blog. Love the photo cluster shape and arrangement. Those hearts in a row are just too cute. I don’t scrap square, but I could not pass this by. So will adjust it for landscape. Wish you success, joy, and fulfillment with this endeaver. Leavin LUV! XOXOXO
