Totally panicking

Okay... breathe! Maybe you should pick four templates for this year. rotate through them so you have some options to play with, but they still will go together for a cohesive book?

 

I do know that feeling, I went to a paper crop long ago...and about lost my lunch. CUT a real photo...deep breath breathe kinda feeling. oh I can't wait to see what you come up with now.

 

That's why I bought Mommyish Pocket Template Maker action, that way I can make the exact page I need for my pictures and don't have to reject a pic because it's vertical and I only have an horizontal slot, or decide which of my two amazing photos I'll make small when I love them both! I've then tweaked the action so that it opens the base LO, creates the double pager for the PL page, creates the background as I like it, etc.

 

I'll be happy to help if I can! Leah has video tutorials, though, they are linked in the product description so check that out, too!

 

Oh I love her template maker! I use it for more things now than just PL pages, but this thing is a godsend!

 

Want to hear a shocker!? I have 365 photos for 3 years and have never done anything with them. . . .
So You still have plenty of time to decide. LOL
good luck in trying to decide what you want to do for this year.

 

I adore when scrapping brings us to the euphoria of giddy! ♥

 

I love Mommyish Pocket Template Maker Action! I have used it tons! Good luck with it all

 

Yay, that's great, I'm glad you enjoy it! Mind if I point this thread to Leah? @mommyish you made (another) scrapper happy today!

As for your questions, nope, I don't save my templates. Since it's so fast to create them, I figure it's no big deal if I need the exact same spread ever again, I can re-do it quickly. As I said I've tweaked the action, though, for example I've combined the "create" and "resize" steps as I like my slots to be separated, so I always used them together. I'm also considering creating a few other dimensions, like 5 inches ones, because I'm using them sometimes, that would save me the "work" to create a 2in and a 3in and merge them after.

 

Lol at giddy!

I like the look of this action too and I don't even do pocket style pages. I do like grid designs though and getting the spacing between the sections is a pain to get right.

 

I've never used a template maker pack, but I usually just make my own templates. Any time I make a new one, I save it, or if it's really similar to another one I've done (like one has a 4x6 in a place where another has 2 3x4's), then I'll save layers as options inside the template file. That way I can choose which layer option I want (the 2 3x4s or the 1 4x6). But yes, I ALWAYS save my templates so that I don't have to recreate the wheel later!

 

Okay, seriously! I just watched the video on those, too, and they look like a lot of fun! I might have to give it a try! Glad you found a solution that makes you happy @tkradtke!!

 

I might have to try that. I've been Frankensteining my project life layout pages for a while now. =D
