For some it’s the dreaded moment. Others love getting caught up in the moment. It’s the moment mom says, “Hold on a second, let me get a photo!”

 

Before you know it, one photo turns into 48 photos—all with varying expressions. You can’t just take one, right?
 

 

What’s the solution for scrapbooking those 48 photos? Templates!

 

This month’s template set (packaged with the August Premier issue) includes 10 design choices with LOTS of room for those smiling (or smirking) faces. The best thing about it? You can have an entire set of pages finished by the time they get off the bus. How’s that for efficiency and productivity?

 

Have a great week, friends.

 

 

 

P.S. The back-to-school layouts above were designed by creative team members (Paula, Donna, Lori, Kathy, and Terri) using my August templates. You can see specific credits for these finished pages in the Team Member gallery.

 

Have you had a chance to play with Linda’s Water Reflection video (part of this month’s mini class)? I just cannot stop gawking at the pages created by students and team members.

 

When gazing at this page by Kathy Black, I cannot decide if I want to sit back with a cup of hot tea and just stare at it, or if I want to sneak into the scene and imprint a frosty little snow angel right smack-dab in the center of the bank! It’s dreamy and inviting all at the same time. I love it.

 

If you haven’t uploaded your creative take on the Water Reflection tutorial yet, you’ve still got time. The challenge gallery will be open through Sunday, August 14, 2016, and the winner will receive $25 credit from AdoramaPix.
