Which one should I start with...
I was really amazed at the template challenge response and really happy as well..
Even our designers jumped in and had a go lol, so that was really great...
We got alot of templates shared, so ladies can now make themselves up a complete CD size brag book...
It is also a 2 part challenge, so from the 1st-11th everyone downloads the shapes and then creates a template and uploads to the section in the forum..
I pick one they are our "Chosen One" and then we all download her Template and create a layout with it and upload that to the gallery and then I send everyone the posting bonus kit...
It kept me really busy and I also learnt some things..
One is there are ladies out there who want to play but dont know how to do things with their software ...
The other thing that really made me have warm fuzzies was our lovely "Rose Addict" now I know alot of you will have seen her here and there, she always is so beautiful and lovely and always leaves lovely messages with her thanks when she downloads..
So she just jumped in and put up a screen shot to help the other ladies understand what saving in layers was... Again Rose thank you so much..
So now on my to do list are several tuts to put up in our kitchen so that we can instantly refer people to those to help....
So to make a long story short, The lady I chose to be the "Chosen One" this month is Angela, because she sent me a message explaining that she didnt know how to do it in her program and she wanted to play... So eventually just the day before the templates had to be in, I found something that I hoped would help her, and She put a really beautiful template in for us..
I just felt that she had accomplished so much and she should be our very first template winner...
I struggled with who I was going to chose, there were so many lovely templates, I couldnt off course pick my friends and the designers are not in the running lol....
And the ladies had really made some beauties....
But there is always next month and the month after and if they are all being real with their comments they all had alot of fun and thats what its really all about....
So here is the template that I chose, you can pick it up if you pop into Digtial Arts Cafe...

Here is what I did with her layout
This is/was my stepfather, he has crossed over now...But he was an amazing man, dutch, loved his aircraft and are you ready for this lol
Named Pymm Van Gogh, he is distantly related to the "Vincent Van Gogh"
cept he never thought about cutting off his ear lol...
But he was also a painter, and in his time has left his family and friends
with lots of wonderful paintings...
The ones I have both my girls have nominated which they want, in turn
they will pass them on to their children..
He sold quite a few while he was alive, so who knows mybe one day
his will be worth something .. But to me they are priceless...
That is the reason I chose the kit I did to do this layout with..
I just felt it was so him...
and I used:
DigitalArts-Cafe Designer Linda Cumberlands New Beginnings kit
So next ..

What a beautiful qp! Thanks so much!
Mozz - I have an award on my blog for you:)
Thank you for stopping by my blog! I loved your stepfather's story! How cool is that?!
Oh, thank you so much! I didn't think it was any big thing, just wanted to help, since I'm one of those who can't use .psd/.psp files. Afterwards, I was a bit concerned that it might seem like I was butting in a little too much, so I'm glad it didn't come across that way.
I enjoyed reading about your step-father. I'd like to see some of his work if you ever decide to put it on your blog. Have any of his paintings ever inspired a kit from you?
Good luck with your CT hope it goes well!!
I also loved the story of your step-father, I too would treasure those paintings. I am so sappy and sentimental (not that you are) but anyway, I think it's wonderful. Maybe someday you will take a picture of his art and show us!! :) but add a stamp through it, so it won't be copied.
Have a great one! and keep it up you're doing great!
oh, yes, great layout/quick page!
