Template Giveaway With Gradybug Designs!

I am thrilled to be hosting a giveaway for Gradybug Designs this week! Gradybug Designs is a template design studio run by Ashlee and Melissa, sister-in-laws who are both photographers and designers, so they know how to create templates photographers need and want! They offer a variety of photography templates from birth announcements, albums, holiday cards and everything in between.

Since Valentines is right around the corner, they are giving away two adorable Valentines templates, a mini-accordion album and a set of sweet wallets. The mini-album, shown below, can be used year round, especially for little girls who are pink and heart infatuated.

I bought the Happy Day mini-ablum tonight to put pictures of my daughter and her horse in so she can share lots of little pictures with her friends, without losing any because they are all in one little wallet-sized book. So, you see, there is lots of potential with this template!

Just last week I printed my first mini-album and I am in love with them! I plan to make them for my family, teachers at our homeschool classes, and more! I’m simply looking for reasons to make mini-albums! 🙂 If you are unsure what an mini-album is, I made a video, showing my first printed mini-album.

And, for a sweet twist on Valentine’s you can print your child(s) picture via wallets with these precious templates:

To top things off, they have a fantabulous freebie right now – a Valentine’s bookmark that can be folded and given as a Valentine exchange. I downloaded it, added my daughter’s picture to it and will be printing tomorrow. She will shine as she hands out these little bookmarks to her friends at our homeschool classes.

While you are looking through their shop, be sure to snag this little treasure!

Alrighty….on to the giveaway!

To enter, simply leave me a comment telling me the one photography related, but non-camera body thing you *heart* the most! This can be PSE, CS5, your camera bag, your favorite lens, anything. Believe it or not, I so enjoy reading all the different answers to these nosy little questions I pose during giveaways. Gives me such insight into all of you! 😉

For one additional entry, you can like Gradybug Designs on Facebook (great to follow them there so you know when they release new products and little freebies). Make sure to leave a comment here letting me know you’re a new fan of theirs so you get your extra entry.

There will be TWO WINNERS! One will win both the mini-album and the wallet templates. The other winner will win just the mini-album template.

Winners will be chosen via Random.org. Giveaway ends on Thursday, February 10th at 11:00 PM EST.

**If you have PSE, you may need to purchase Elements Plus, a $12 plug-in that will allow you to ungroup layers in some templates. Anytime you see that a template is not compatible with PSE, it is because some layers were grouped. With Elements Plus, you can ungroup those layers and go on down the road. I have a video explaining how to use it.
