Sarah Bennett CT Template Blog train is departing!

Due to the great success of out template train in May we are back with another template blog train! It is a little smaller than last time due to summer getting in the way, *giggle* but we still have some great templates for you! Since my "area of expertise" is hybrid this time I have gone a little bit different route and made a card template.It is based off of this card made with Sarah's Love You Always kit. I love this kit, and it can be used for so much more than just the Valentines that first come to mind when you see it. Sarah is retiring as of the end of this month and her store will be closing then. Everything is on sale 50% off (you will see the sale price in the shopping cart). Be sure to grab it before her store closes on July 31st!
As you can see you can make the card as dimensional as you like. I love those extra touches, but nothing can beat a quick print and go card when you have forgotten an event. And no that has never happened to me. Nope. No way. No how. Never. (Am I being too emphatic and ruining my credibility on the matter?)So anyways, you should be arriving here from Katie's Scraps.
And your next stop should be at Amy's Unforgettable Moments. Please be patient if not all stops are up right away. There are usually little hiccups with where each person is located and what time zone their blog host is located in. If you do get lost the master list can be found here.
And you can grab the template here!

I miss ewe!

I am back today with another card made for OWH. This week they have issues a challenge for cards made for the heroes to send home to their children. As soon as I saw that challenge I had something in mind. I used the Wild Oats kit, which is a collaboration between Chelle's Creations and Designs by Sarah Bennett.
Here is what I came up with, the barn and the small cloud is raised up with glue dots and the barn with pop dots to give it two different levels of dimension.
Well, thank you for looking and check back tomorrow for another scrap layout!

Because of the Brave

I found this card sketch over on the OWH Stars and Stamps blog that I decided to give a shot. Since I am still totally in love with the Old Glory kit (link is to the bundle) I thought I would use this kit to play. Here is what I came up with...What do you think?

Gorgeous Americana kit

Sarah Bennett has just collaborated with Trixie Scraps Designs to make the most gorgeous Americana kit I have seen! It is called Old Glory. This kit is absolutely packed with goodies. I know it will be one of my favorite "go to" kits for a long time to come. Here is a layout that I did with it.
I also used Get Real: shadows by Jennifer Barrette Designs and Becky's May (SB) CT blog train template to create this layout. The font is Porcelain

the Sarah Bennett CT Blog train is now departing!!!

Welcome to the Sarah Bennett CT blog train. You should be arriving at my blog from Britanee's blog. I hope that you are enjoying all of these wonderful templates. Be sure to stop on by Sarah's store and pick up some of her great kits to use with these. She has a really great kit, My Buddy, being released today with lots of masculine colors!
Here is the original layout that I based my template off of. I have added in a spot for a photo as well, still keeping with the feel of my original.And here is the template itself.
Here is the link for the layered PSD template.
And here is where you can get the separated PNG layers.


The next (and final) stop on the train is Amy. If you happen to have gotten lost somewhere along the train, or have just stumbled aboard... here are all of your stops.

another CT

When Sarah Bennett joined ScrapMatters on a permanent basis she decided to do a CT call. I love her designs so I figured I would throw my hat in the ring. I am excited to be able to say that I was accepted! So this was my first actual week on the CT and wow, does she have some goodies available.Spunky Monkey is a brand new release and it is so perfect for all those ornery kid pictures! The next offerings are all being re-released to the ScrapMatters Store. Starting off with the Lined Up Template Pack, the gorgeous Sister Sue, the fun Scribbly Alpha and Scribbly Alpha 2. I have only had a chance to play with the first three so far, but I am sure I will get much use out of all of them. Here is my first layout, featuring my niece being a silly monkey.
And I also did a hybrid project using the Sister Sue kit. It also uses Krisi's Not Straight Up:Hybrid Boxes template. Don't ya just love that flower on the top!Well, I think that is about all that I have for you today. Check back soon to see what Wendy released this week as well!
