Codes are listed on her website: www.tracireed.com/I have bought several of Traci's kits today, but I bought them from Sweet Shoppe Designs. You can get additional products for each kit such as stickers, TN papers, cards etc from Sweet Shoppe, that don't seem to be available on her own site. There is 50% off at Sweet Shoppe as well. The Digital Press has the best sale this year, with 70% off. |

Traci has them on her site too, but they are categorized differently. So, instead of being able to shop by the collection/release, you have to look under Stickers for the stickers that go with a digital kit. I find it more difficult, which is why I usually buy them at Sweet Shoppe. |

I must be blind!  |

Does anyone have a nice set of templates that are versatile? I am also looking for 10x8 or something comparable versus 12x12/square. Ali Edwards has some 10x8 templates in her shop so you might check them out. I like Shannan's templates a lot: www.shannanpages.com & she also has 10x8. |

Thanks for the suggestions, and some reminders! I didn't find anything else I want from Traci, I am pretty stocked up with her designs. I ended up getting a couple things from Katie Pertiet and 1 things from The Digital Press. I am working in Canva more and joined the AE class, so hoping to mimic some of the template designs I've seen. I wasn't familiar with Shannan Pages, love that style! Also forgot to add Simple Stories digitals are also 50% off. www.simplestories.com/collections/simple-stories-digital-products |

Maybe someone in this thread can help me. I am trying to think of a digital designer who made 4x6 and 3x4 templates. I want to say her last name was maybe White? She labeled her templated Vol. 1, Vol 2. etc. Any idea who this could be?

I feel like they might even have been free @ The Lilypad. I still use them sometimes. |

I've done some searching on youtube, but can't find videos geared toward scrapbooking. I'm wanting to make some basic journal cards, maybe print some elements?
I need to look into the AE class. Is it for beginners?

Katie Pertiet is my favorite! You're probably already aware that she has been having a different item on sale for 99 cents every day lately. Studio Calico also has a bunch of their digital stuff on sale for $1 right now. I loaded up on a bunch of those goodies. Like you, I am on the lookout for templates in a non-12x12 size. I've been scrapping 6x8. I appreciate all the links and suggestions everyone has posted in this thread -- lots of amazing stuff out there! |

Sorry - I've been away for a bit. I have not take any other classes, I became familiar with it through an event with Scrap Happy in beginning of 2022. I only played around with it. I have not had time for the class yet, except to see the very first course. It seems very beginner, yes. I did manage to recreate a template I was looking at by just taking my time and working with it. What I like is that it has "smart rulers" where it can tell when you are trying to make a row or block something out with the same measurements. So that was good. It's easy to upload images you own, so I was adding some pngs and stamps from my digital collection that I know I want to use on a project. I should have more time for this in the next couple weeks and will let you know how it goes. |

amysolovay yes, I figured out the 99 cent items are a good deal since usually everything is around $3 and 40% off sale. I try to look often. I think she does have some 6x8 templates, but not many. It's a little hard to search on the shop, I've had better luck just going through everything.

I love that so many of the traditional paper scrapbooking companies are now selling digital supplies. I do, however, think that they need to review their pricing. They charge SO MUCH MORE than digital scrapbook stores. For example, one of the items on the Studio Calico page is a set of 6 tags for $1. The original price is $4. For six tags! HUH?! At the moment, over at The Digital Press, I can buy a whole collection for only $2. That includes 35 patterned papers, 10 solid papers, 70 stickers, 10 journal cards, 189 embellishments. And they want me to pay $4 for six tags? Or even $1 on sale? Nup. |

Snap Click Supply has a bunch of their stuff on sale for half off right now. Those of you who are into nostalgia papers -- BasicGrey, Cosmo Cricket, etc might be interested in that. www.snapclicksupply.com/ |

It's a little hard to search on the shop, I've had better luck just going through everything. This month she has been doing her sales differently than usual. In the past, she frequently had $2 Tuesdays where she put random items on sale for $2. She also sometimes did "Thrifty Thursdays", where she put one or two random kits on sale for $2 plus maybe one or more 99 cent items, plus some more random items for sale at 50% off. I am not sure whether she will do that again in the future, but I built my digital stash to workable levels from those sales plus her freebies. Do you ever read her blog? She is pretty generous with giving away freebies. Last month, she did a series of freebies, posting one every day. I thought they were all really beautiful. I'm pretty sure they're still available if anybody missed them. I did find ONE set of 6x8 templates in her store, and I grabbed those.  And some of her 12x12s can successfully be resized. I'm trying this with some of the ones that have a lot of "white space" around the edges and are oriented more vertically than horizontally. I first turn off or crop out any elements that will be in the way, then resize to 8x8 and then chop a couple of inches off the sides to make the page 6x8. If you do this, make sure to resize the font on any journaling spots, or it will be unreadable. I've been working on making my own 6x8 templates from her 12x12s that way. I tried that with the 99 cent special from a couple of days ago, but ended up moving stuff around and changing so much that the template is now pretty much unrecognizable. Still, it worked for a layout I did, so I was happy with it. I agree that it is not the simplest thing to find stuff in her store, and that just going through everything is a good way to find treasures. But, she has been designing forEVER and has many thousands of items in her store, so it is basically impossible to go through everything. |

And they want me to pay $4 for six tags? Or even $1 on sale? Nup. I totally get what you're saying about the pricing on some of their digital stuff. There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to it. I passed on the 6 tags for $1, too. But I thought the stuff I got from them was a good value for the money, especially at $1. I had been wanting bunches of their physical stamp sets priced at $20 each. Some of them I missed out on buying the physical version and was totally, completely bummed about it. I was beyond thrilled to find the digital version for $1!! I had originally found them when they were priced at $5 each, and I had been trying to figure out a couple of them to get at that price. Indecision can be useful sometimes. When I saw they put them all on sale for $1, I just grabbed all the ones I knew I would use. To each her own, right?  For what it's worth, they did put a few of their big bundles on sale for $1, too. I didn't grab those, because they aren't what I need right now, but I thought they looked like a good value for the money. |
