As templates evolve, they are being packaged with little extras that you can leave on the template or add to your go-to stash. Every template in this kit has a bonus which you can use again and again, keeping LOs fresh.
Template 3 is my favourite; it would make a very clean LO but the brush strokes and the chosen paper would stop it being clinical. It was hard for me to pick a favourite LO from this pack; each template has something very positive to recommend it.

Title Swift Scrap Square Templates # 4
Designer Christina Bartholomew
Released March 2007
Price $3.20

Four templates on this latest template kit from Christina Bartholomew. The first template has space for up to 4 photographs in rectangular and square format and at least four papers. The second template has space for one large round picture, three small ones and three papers. The third template is a fairly bog-standard large single picture LO. The fourth template is definitely the best of the bunch, the most versatile and the reason that I would buy this kit. I like to spin my templates (maximum value!) and this one is usable from any angle. If you remove the two pictures from the right hand side you can have a huge picture/lots of small pictures LO. The left hand side shapes can be used for journaling, pictures or small papers or a combination of all three.
One sentence A good addition for template collectors
The first multi-designer store that I used as a digiscrapper was Scrapbook Elements. When the email came in on a Sunday announcing new product I would be the happiest scrapper around.

Scrapping black and white or heritage pictures can be difficult, however there are designers making the job easier by providing heritage-suitable papers. The designer here has made it even easier by including an element of a heritage picture so that you can imagine how your LO would look.
Papers - Lovely. They have that "steeped in tea" coloring that says aged without saying tatty. The blending and coloring is very attractive. For a mini-kit five papers is not bad, if you would like to expand it the colour scheme that the designer has chosen should be easily matched with any kits in your "go-to" stash.
Elements - The burnt edges on the musical paper are a nice touch. I do like all the tags and journaling boxes. I always have a problem journalling on crumpled paper journaling boxes as it never looks right. It would be ideal as a photo mat/frame or a mat for any of the card elements. I am unsure about the bows As a stand-alone item they are very attractive and I like the burnished gold colour. I don't know how the blue fits in with the kit. I would probably separate them from the kit and add them to my stash instead. The rusted hinge looks as if you could reach out and touch it, a very nice element that I could see myself using both as part of this kit and also on its own. The cast iron scroll is a good divider between areas on a LO. If you are making a heritage album this would look great on the cover (especially printed out on a Shutterfly book)
One sentence A good kit for scrapping those heritage photographs and also for expanding your go-to stash.
