Shape Templates are a digiscrapper’s best friend!

And I’m not talking about layered templates - I’m referring to shapes. I have found that shape templates offer a scrapper so much flexibility!

You can take a shape & cut any kind of paper out of it. They are SO versatile! Long ago I started collecting them. First I started with borders, then I found Karin McCombes swirly shape templates… and there was no stopping… Now I buy them when I see something interesting. Today I added to my collection - this afternoon I bought Jen Caputo’s new circle shapes with decorative borders. Others that make great shape templates are: Eva Kipler, Karen Hunt at SBB has some great edgers, Karin McCombes (Kazadoodles) has some that she calls templastic, Michelle Coleman has Decorative Edges 2 that consist of a template & a lace overlay that are VERY beautiful & decorative providing an old world touch to layouts, and Tracy Ann at SBB has a cardstock set with some wonderful borders that could be used as shape templates.

Then tonite Pillowgirl has a nice set of shapes on her blog which are generously free! So I just had to blog about shape templates!

Here are couple of layouts that I’ve done with shape templates. The border template on this one is by Rikki.

This is Michelle Coleman’s Decorative Edges 2
