Kit Combining

It's Saturday - the beginning of what is hopefully a long holiday weekend for most of us! Perhaps we can use some of our extra free time to not only create wonderful memories with our family and friends, but to scrap them.

I was looking through Sarah's store earlier today and was struck by how well many of her kits go together. They are all very distinct and original, but at the same time the individual pieces of the kits work when mixed and matched on layouts. Let me show you what I mean.

Here are two of my all-time favorite kits (not just from Sarah, but from my entire scrap stash!):

They clearly both have very distinct color palettes and themes, but when you mix them together you can create awesome stuff! Here's a layout I made with the tw kits:

I love how it turned out! I also added Sarah's awesome alpha to complete the page:

I can hardly wait to mix these two kits - the colors blend perfectly!

Go check out Sarah's store and see which kits you want to combine to creat perfect layouts every time! There are so many kits to mix and match . . . the possibilities are endless! Enjoy your weekend, and make it scrappy! :)

New Release-Sweet Siblings

Favorite Kits

Jamie here with a flashback to one of my favorite kits from Sarah. MEMORIES OF YOU

  Every time I go to make a classy, beautiful page, this kit is the first thing to pop into my mind.   I just love the elegant nature and subtle colors (and for someone who LOVES bright colors, that is saying alot! )

My  layout I am going to share with you is a topic that I am not usually very comfortable with  . . . ME!   I actually love this page because it represents such a difficult change in my life.  (Plus, when I get further along in my pregnancy, I am going to use it to announce to my IRL friends!  SHH!  Don't tell!)

Journaling reads: When the bulged disc in my back continued to progressively get worse, I had to give up alot of who I am as an athlete & competitor to find new hobbies & interests. I was sad to part with who I was, but I am excited to find that I enjoy many new things now.

To give you even more incentive,  AMY from our CT is hosting an awesome challenge at Scrapmatters!  She is challenging us to  make a page about what we are passionate about.  By participating, you will receive great coupons to use at Sarah's store!

Welcome to the Template Blog Train!

Hi! Welcome to the Designs by Sarah Bennett CT Template Blog Train! I'm glad you are here and have decided to join us!  If you aren't all that familiar with Sarah Bennett than you should probably remedy that!  She is an amazing designer, and a very sweet person.  Go check out her shop at Scrap Matters and prepare to be impressed!

If you make it through this entire Blog Train you will have some amazing templates!  Here is a preview of what is in store for you!

I'm so excited!  That is such a great assortment of templates in some different types of scrap styles.  Can you believe that it is all FREE?!!  How cool is that?!!  If you happen across a blog along the train that doesn't have their template posted yet, please check back.  We are on different time zones so we may not have everything up at the same time.

Remember these ladies worked very hard on these templates when they could have been scrapping!  Most if not all of them are playing along in the Queen of Scrap contest at Scrap Matters.  Instead of making another layout they were making you a template, so be sure to say thank you in the comments when you come across their blog!  They sure would appreciate it.  They don't profit in any way from doing this so it sure would make their day to hear from you if you download their templates along the way.

Without further ado here is your first free template!

The PSD and PNG files are included in the same download.
