Birthday Storyboard Freebie

Thanks to those who have entered into our monthly contest to win a $25 gift certificate. All you need to do to enter is to submit a layout you created using one of our freebies from the month. You can submit up to four layouts, one per a week, for four chances to win. See here for more details.

Today’s freebie is one that I created a year or so ago for a client. She wanted to showcase the photos she had taken of her one year old daughter’s cake smash. I love how simplistic, yet how many photos it allows you to share. You could also substitute out some of the photos for a cute digital paper. I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

10x20 Storyboard for 4x6’s – Freebie

Hello there! I’ve been enjoying a wonderful week of beautiful weather! Temperatures in the 60’s; I just can’t complain! Hope you all had an equally great week.

I was AMAZED of how many downloads we had of last week’s freebie! I was a little uncertain whether you would enjoy it, being that it was a little more, I guess, specific. But we had over 400 downloads! That is the most we have ever had in one week!

This week’s freebie comes from a special request of a customer. She was looking for some 4x6 openings on a 10x20 storyboard (which seems to be a very popular size so forgive me for all the recent 10x20 freebies).

Again, don’t forget to enter our monthly giveaway by creating a layout using one of our monthly freebies and submitting it to me via email, facebook, or by commenting on the post. You will be entered to win a $25 gift certificate to our store. Two are up for grabs! See this post for all the details.

Hola! New Freebie

Hola mi amigos! We just returned from a fabulous cruise to Mexico. Had a blast with  my hubby and kids. I was still feeling the rocking last night after we got home, but today I feel like my feet are on solid ground.
Can I just say wow!? We had lots of people download last weeks freebie. Over 125 people! I’ve received some fun layouts. Keep them coming. If you are not aware of what I am referring to, I’ve started a monthly contest with the weekly freebies. Read last week’s post for more information.
This weeks freebie is a little different. In reflecting back on my cruise, I wanted to try something different. This 10x20 storyboard is what I came up with. It is a little more advance this some of the others and requires you to have a little more knowledge of Photoshop, which is why I’ve included the photos (taken from my vacation) I used so you can see exactly how it is done. Just make sure you clip the photos AND the black/white layers so that only the background photo is black and white, if not your entire storyboard will be black and white. I hope that makes sense. Email me with questions.
The lettering can be changed to any font, any letter so pick a fun three letter word, or extended the storyboard size to add more letters. I am excited to see what everyone comes up with.
