Sneak Peek Thursday

Hello everyone,

It's time for another sneak peek Thursday.



Come back tomorrow for the full reveal.

Photo Family Tree Template

When I first made my family tree template I didn't have pictures of my great-grandparents and so I just did one without any pictures. But I know there are a lot of people out there who do have pictures and so I have updated the template to include spots for photos now. This template is a great addition to any baby book, or even  makes a great gift printed and framed. Head on over to the store and grab it!

Please remember that this template is made to be used in a photo-editing program such as Photoshop. If you would like a template that can be used in Microsoft Word you can purchase my original template here. This template does not have spots for photos.

A Grab bag and a Freebie!!!!

Techincally iNSD (International Scrapbooking Day) is tomorrow- but the fun starts around here today! I am so excited to be participating in iNSD with my very first grab bag! I had so much fun putting this all together for you guys and I hope you love it as much as I do! Head on over to ScrapMatters to pick it up quick, because it's only $3.50 for 4 brand new products- and that price only lasts until Wednesday. After that the grab bag wil be split up and everything in the store will go to their regular prices. And because I hate buying things sight unseen, you can actually see the full reveal of the grab bag by checking out the detailed images of the product in the shop.

And to say thanks for being such awesome customers I had my CT put together this amazing freebie- it's a set of quick pages using my kit Too Cute Boy. Grab them quick- the links wont be up for long! ***Update- the SM store has been having a hard time keeping up with all the the traffic from the sale so I have moved the freebie qp's to 4shared. Thanks!**

New Release Day- All About Photos Templates

 All About Photos Mega Template Pack

Back when my son was born I wanted a quick and easy way to get all those pictures of him scrapped. I was working on a baby book for him which I had 2 pages for each month- on the 2nd page I wanted to just show as many pictures as I could. To help myself out I created this set of templates. I LOVE how much easier they made the project and I feel like they really let the pictures speak for themselves. Besides being great for a baby album- these templates are great for any project where you've got a lot of pictures you want to show off. There's 12 of them- so they would be perfect for a year in review too.
I have split the templates out into 3 groups or you can buy them all together as a bundle for just $6.00!! (That's like buying 2 sets and getting one free!) Check out these beautiful pages by my wonderful CT ladies and then head over to ScrapMatters to pick them up.

Design Star Results

Well after 2 VERY long months the design competition at ScrapMatters is over- and while I am really proud to say I made it to the top 10- that's as far as I went. :( While I am really sad that I didn't make it on- I am happy that I will get to be a CT member for them. :) So look for me hanging out over there a lot more now days.

Things have also been busy around here as I am trying to pack up our tiny apartment as we head to Minneapolis for the summer for my husband to do an internship there. I am really excited- both to have an income and to see a new city! Now I just need to figure out how I can pack everything I need into a Ford Focus! :) In the meantime I realized that it's been a while since I have shared a template with you- so here you go! As usual I have included 3 sizes of the template: 12x12, 8.5x11 and 11x8.5. I hope you all enjoy it-

And here is the page I made using the template and my Spring Fling Kit.

My challenge is of course a template challenge (what elase would you see me doing!) and the best part is that you don't even have to use ScrapMatter products to participate- so head on over. Everyone that posts a layout using the template will get this alpha for free!

I can't wait to see what you all come up with!

Friday Freebie

It's been a little while since I have had a template to share with you and I have been itching to get one made. I am so excited with how it turned out too! I think this may be one of my favorites, and I hope you like it too.

Oh- I almost forgot- check out the layout I made using the template. I used the kit "Trouble Maker" by Flergs found in this month's Digi Files. If you like it, grab it quick, 'cause I think the new set of Digi Files should be up soon. If you don't know what the Digi Files are- go check out The Daily Digi.

Friday Freebie & Products Retiring

I don't know about your part of the world but it's been cold and dreary around here- so I felt like sharing a little sunshine. This template has been sitting on my computer for about 6 months now waiting for others to join it to make another template pack- but it doesn't seem to be happening, so I decided to set it free! :) I hope you all enjoy it.

Oh and here's the page I made with it: (isn't my little guy a cutie?:) - Credits- all the papers and elements are from "Destination Paradise" mini kit by Gina Cabrera at Digital Design Essentials.

Christmas Template Freebie

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas holiday. We have spent 2 great weeks with our families- but I think I am ready to get back to a normal schedule! Today my sisters and I got some scrap booking fun in (the house looked like a computer lab with all our laptops!) and I got this new template made. I hope you all enjoy it! Happy New Year!

And here's my page I made with it (and the Holiday Charm Mega kit from Digital Design Essentials)

Family Tree Template

I have moved this template to my store at ScrapMatters. if you are interested in purchasing it please go here.

Template Pack #5

Price $2.00

Are you ready for another set of templates? I think this may be my favorite set yet. The set includes 5 different layouts as PSD files in 3 sizes: 12x12, 8.5x11, and 11x8.5. Check out the pages that have been made with this set (click on images for credits):

Friday Freebie and a contest

Click HERE to Download

I was working on this swimming layout (click on the image for credits), and I got inspired to make you a template! I hope you like it.


Also if you are thinking about grabbing the Super Template Pack do it quick, because Monday it's going away. Don't miss this awesome deal.


And now onto the contest part- one of my favorite things to do is look at what sites people are coming from to get to my own. I love then going and checking out those sites, and seeing the actual link there. I got to thinking, why not reward people for sending traffic my way? So here's the contest:

1. Put a link to Purple Tulip Designs anywhere on your blog. Or if you don't have a blog, post a layout using one of my designs in an online gallery and be sure to mention Purple Tulip Designs in the credits.

2. Next come back here and leave me a comment with the link to the page showing your link, or send me an email with the link at: purpletulipdesigns (at) yahoo (dot) com

3. Do all this by next Friday.

Next Saturday, July 19th, I will randomly pick one person to get one of my kits free. (Your choice which one.) Does it sound like fun? I look forward to seeing the entries!

Template Pack #4

After a little break, I am back with more templates to share- Yay! Here's the latest pack: Each template design comes as a PSD file in 3 different sizes: 12x12, 8.5x11 and 11x8.5.

Price: $2.00

Check out some pages I created using these templates (click on images for credits):

This one you probably recognize as a quickpage I offered awhile back. I decided to turn it into a template for you to play around with.

As always, if you create some pages with my templates, I would love to see them! :)
