The Paper Iris: Template #34

Why "The Paper Iris"?

My digiscrapping career began several years ago as a paper S4O business. At the time, a close friend suggested the name The Paper Iris because of the many meanings it suggested. Iris is the Greek word for "rainbow", the name of one of my favorite flowers, the colorful part of the eye, and a part of the camera. Each meaning for "Iris" has something to do with Scrapbooking. When you put Iris and Paper together, you have a meaning that suggests creativity and beauty. Thus, The Paper Iris was born.

Hello Digiworld! I am in a much better frame of mind today! It is amazing the difference that a good night's sleep makes. This morning was church, then we had a good country Memorial Day picnic. It is really interesting to see the difference with holidays in city life and country life. At home, noone really makes that big a deal about Memorial Day, here it is a HUGE observance. The only damper on the day was me having to bring a salad and grilled chicken and not eating any of the potluck food. This girl has NO CLUE what kind of sacrifices I am making for her!! She had better pick an AMAZING nursing home someday!!!

Here's today's Template!

There was a comment left about cutting the templates in half for printing. I do design the temps with cutting them in mind, but don't always keep everything out of the middle. I make sure the text does not cross, and only do a portion of the picture space across the 12 inch line. If you are concerned about an important portion of your picture being cut off, simply turn on your grid and rulers (View>Grid) and you can see where the measurements line up. Simply Yin also has a good guide on her page that you can check out HERE.

Don't forget the Memorial Day Sale, and I'll See you tomorrow!
