When I started this blog I really concentrated on helping new digi-scrappers. As I've grown in my scrapbooking skills I have gotten away from that and kind of forgotten what would be typical questions from a newbie-scrapbooker. It was a lot easier when I was one myself. Funny how scrapping over 6 months and making approximately 75 layouts has brought me this far. And I am sure to many digi-scrappers out there I am just scratching the surface! But I am working on it. I have been scrapping up a storm these last few weeks---making about two a day for a couple of weeks. But the creative juices are starting to dry up and my momentum is slowing down.

Anyway, all of that to say that I came across a great video that will help someone newer to digi-scrapping. It is how to use templates. I know there are lots of good tutorials on this, but I still learn something new when I watch them because everybody has a different way of going about scrapping. It helps me learn the ins-and-outs of the program better.

Today's tutorial is by Cathy Zielske. I love her style, personality, and her templates and if I were not cheap I probably would own all of her templates for square pages. Here's a link to her tutorial on templates: http://vimeo.com/7968334 and here's a link to her blog: http://cathyzielske.typepad.com/my_weblog/2009/12/video-tutorial-working-with-layered-templates.html. What is even neater is that she turned this into a hybrid page when she was finished doing the digital part, so be sure to check out her blog.
