Designer Challenge: Easter/Spring Themed Album

This thread is called Easter/Spring Themed Album and our challenge is to make a template album with an Easter or Spring theme smiley

Edited April10th:
An album has at least 2 different page layouts. Most Pixelscrapper template albums have 6 different page layouts. So pick any number above 2 smiley
You can have a look at Pixelscrapper Album Templates here, you can see my rather minimal album project with 2 different page layouts here and you can also have an extended look on this and other album projects on my blog here. Here is a post about my 31 Days project.

If you want to save some space on your drive add a white top layer to your template file.

Download the sample template here in TIF.

Download the sample template here in PSD.

Looking forward to what you make!

Hi! Is there a number of pages minimum we should make in the album? Thanks!

@Melissa: Welcome to the template album challenge, Melissa! Thanks for asking. One album could be made with two diferent page layouts, so I guess that would be the minimum. smiley Most of the album templates at Pixelscrapper have 6 or more templates tho. I made 12 for this challenge. Pick your lucky number smiley

I'm not able to use TIF files, but I can definitely make an album. Is the challenge for us to design a template for an album's worth of pages, or for us to scrap an album? I'm confused.

Ok thanks Bina.

@Lisa I was confused too but then I assumed it meant to scrap the album. Assumption from the mention of the Easter items. I lol may never scrap the album but I do have lots of page templates ready to upload so I will be able to create a template album or two. smiley

@Lisel Rice: Welcome to the template album challenge, Lisel! Thanks for asking!

The good thing is you can make the template album in any format you want, there is no need for you to use TIF format at all smiley for your template album.

The sample template download is in TIF format, yes, and you do not need it really to make a template, it just is an example of the album that I am showing in the preview, is all smiley but I added a psd version too.

Are all the downloads using Photoshop to open? I do not have photoshop but would like to download the samples. How can I do that?
Thanks,
linda

You do not need the sample, Linda. I use PSE.

Here's a preview of the 4 I created using your sample.

Here's another preview of 4 more I created using various other elements from PS.

smiley Wow, Gina! These look so great: Love how you came up with two totally different albums that both look fantastic. So great smiley... Many thanks for playing!

I needed some fresh albums. Thank you for the challenge to encourage me.

Here are my templates. I have a Easter kit almost ready for uploading. smiley Click to download in the Commons.

smiley smiley Your album template looks fantastic, Melissa. I love how you incorporated spring shapes and clusters in your designs, it looks simply fab. Many thanks for playing and for sharing your album in the commons. Here is a layout with one of your templates.
