Blend This!

I love templates and honestly can't design without them. Well Natalie's Place Designs has just released the MOST amazing templates!!! I'm just in love with them and the blending mask is fabulous!! Check out Blend This!

I will say I went a little overboard on these templates as I feel in love with the versitity of them.  I like to take a template and modify to give me just the right design.  That's what I love about templates they give you the idea and then you either use it as is or make a few adjustments and it's just wanted you needed. My first layout I wanted to highlight our meet and greet with Tinkerbell on the Disney Fantasy and I just love Natalie's Place Designs "Believe" kit.

My second layout was a meet and greet with Pinocchio as we saw him a few times on the Disney Magic.  I just love the blend and all those terrific layer ideas.  The Pinocchio word art is one of my previous word art freebies from Natalie's Place Designs...No Strings Attached kit that you can find HERE.

My third layout is from meeting Remy for the very first time! I can't tell you how excited we were to meet a new character!  Bonus points!  We love characters.  I just love the ability to blend, have lots of photos, journal, and add those nice element touches!
Alright now for my slight modifications.  Our second new character was Emile and since they are both from Ratatouille I thought it would be prefect to do a mirror image so I simply flipped the entire template and carried over the same theme.  
For my next modification I wanted to save room in my book so I doubled up on Donald and Daisy as they are perfect together.  I grabbed the blend and photo elements duplicated it and then flipped it.  It allowed me to achieve my goal and created yet another wonderful layout from our Disney cruise.

My last layout I wanted a few more photos but really liked the fact that I could highlight just one.  I love the large photo with Adrianna and Chip and Dale but I also wanted to include the great photos of their interaction so I simply copied just the photos and flipped it up and used the align tool to ensure that it was all square.  

All credits for my layouts can be found in the gallery at MouseScrappers HERE.  Don't forget to check out Lisa Campbell Designs and MJ AJ Designs for more terrific inspiration!  These templates are a must have for any collection so head over to Natalie's Place Designs to get your set!  Wishing you all a magical weekend!
