Don’t think I’ve mentioned that I’m taking Shimelle’s “Journal Your
Christmas” this year. Shimelle sent out some sample templates, so I
decided I would design some digital pages from the templates, just in
case I don’t have the time to use paper — at
least I could do the daily pages digitally.
I used Renee Pearson’s Greenwich kit from “Digital Scrapbooking”. It
took me about four hours to put together these six templates, but then
I’m a beginner.
I was really surprised at how nice this one came out. It was the easiest
of all of them to do, even with all the little extra parts.

I like this layout, but I think I need something between the squares and the background paper. It looks incomplete.

I did some playing here. There are some things I like, and others that
make me want to run away screaming. All the little block things don’t
work for me. Maybe, if they were different colors…

This template surprised me. I like the look, but the drop shadows really
make this layout. I wonder, though, how it would look if the circles
were buttonized?

This template needs some help. I think I should have used a drop shadow on the star. It’s very plain.

I was very surprised at how nicely this one turned out. It’s not a design I would have thought of myself.

I guess if I’m feeling creative, I can work on some of these in my spare time.
