May 2012 Template Challenge

[MoonDesigns]

.
Hello and welcome to the May 2012 Template Challenge!!

The rules for the challenge are:
I will provide you with a template, and your job is to use the template to create a layout! You can use the template as is, change it around, flip it, rotate it, crop it, add to it, take away from it, whatever you wish to do! When your finished with your layout, please post it to the Template Challenge Gallery & post a link back here so we can all leave you some love!

There are no restrictions on supplies, you can use whatever is in your stash to make your layout! However, with the new Layout of the Week, if you use Studio products, don't forget to add your layout to the LOTW Gallery, too! You could win $5 to theStudio PU Store!!

Also - the participation prizes have changed. We are no longer offering points for completing challenges. We are offering a 10% discount on ALL of your purchases for the following month! So, if you participate this month and get a layout posted, you will receive 10% off of every purchase made in June! No coupons required, the discount will automatically apply to your purchase(s)! And, this is on top of any/all sale prices in effect at the time of purchase!!

Here is the template we will be working with this month:

Me and my little family love to go for walks in the woods, so nothing better then taking some of our pictures and make a layout with them. :)

The kit used is: Project 365: May {Kit} by Digilicious Designs.

I can't wait to see the layouts you are going to be creating with this months template. :)

Happy Scrappin'!

At the risk of sounding stupid - I can't get the template to work. When I open it in PSE I only get 5 layers (title,journaling,background, and then two that look like they are folders that say shaded and non-shaded that I can't expand).
Help?????

[MoonDesigns]

Oh boy! lol That does not sound stupid at all. I do not work with PSE and because of that not aware of PSE users not being able to expand folders. ;) You caught me just as I was away to shut down and go to sleep. I'll re-do the tiff and psd and then upload them. :) Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

[MoonDesigns]

Barb, I have just replace the file. :) I have added a folder in the zip for PSE users. Hope this will work for you now.

Bedtime for me, I'll check in in the morning and see how you got on. ;)

[donakat]

Great template, Tan, thank you. I'll be back with a layout.

[britnkaysmemaw2]

Thanks! I'm a PSE user too, so appreciate you updating!

I have downloaded and unzipped and it works great. Be back with a layout soon!

[makeyesup]

Great Template this month. Made this Calendar as soon as you posted the template. Hope to turn it into a Memory Page. The Parts of the Template made Fun Elements when recolored. :((

I also used Boop Calendar Action and Booland Designs "May Day Special Add On"

Find it Here in the Gallery (http://www.digitalscrapbookingstudio.com/gallery/template-challenge/p97553-apc-may-calendar-2012.html)

Great template, Tan. I too was grateful for the PSE files. Didn't quite know what to do with the other PSD file :-)

Oh wow! Look at all the great layouts that came in for the template challenge. May has been a super busy month for me, so unfortunately I did not get the chance to peek in as often as I wanted to, so seeing all these amazing pages was a big surprise! A hug thank you from me to everyone for joining in!! :XX :XX :XX
