#907 Custom Waves

It's summertime!!!!

I don't know about where you are, but it is SWELTERING here!!!

Do you have a local water park? Splash Park? Or a popular local pool? Other water feature??
Or even just a pool activity either specific to your area or that you don't see made in "mainstream"?
Is "Marco Polo" a popular game in your 'hood?
 
Be aware of licensing issues, but maybe you can make a paper that is related to one of these ideas?
 
#907 is perfect for water papers!!

This is shown with Black Words and Light Blue and Blue for the wave colors.

How do you use this paper??

And The Award Goes To...

I'm a "numbers gal" (along with being a crafter - YES! You can be both at the same time!!)
so I love looking at the numbers and analyzing things!!

So, in case you are as curious as I am, I thought I'd share our Top 5 most popular templates with you
(well, year-to-date anyway)...
 
In first place:
#908 - Custom Diagonal Spirit Names
This one is BY FAR your most favorite!!!
This template holds the top spot by nearly 2x the #2 position!
 
I love it too!! I like the diversity between the two fonts and font sizes.
Plus, I think that the fonts were really good choices!
And I like the ability to have two different lines of text.
 
If you could, is there anything you would change??
 
 
 
In second place is:
#906 - Custom Spirit Names
Also quite a leader ahead of our third place template, this template is extremely popular.
 
Probably because of the two different lines of text with the ability to customize each color.
Why do you like it?
 
 
 
Coming in at #3 is
#1820 - Make It Your Own
You guys LOVE to customize!!!
 
And, stay tuned because we are still fine tuning our full-page-image-upload template,
PLUS, I have some other fun ideas in store for this template that I hope to share with you soon!
 
 
 
Your #4 selection is
#901 - Custom Marbled
We like to do companion pages with this one leaving one of the sets of words as "No Color" so that you can make a set that go together, but are different. It encourages customers to buy two sheets instead of just one.
The "suggestive sell" helps both the customer and the store! The customer gets informed about how to use the product and the store gets a higher average ticket.
 
 
 
And still making a strong showing at #5 is:
#927 - Custom Varied Spirit Names
I *love* this template!! I will admit, however, that it can be frustrating with certain word combinations...
I have that on my UBER long list of "to do's": to see if there is something that can be done about it. Unfortunately, my gut feeling is "no".... we'll probably have to live with it like it is!

Our workaround is to switch around words or add words to make things work out a bit better.

I still love it, in spite of its periodic frustration!!!

 

And, in case you were curious... here are the rest of the top 10:
#6 - 922
#7 - 921
#8 -907
#9 - 904
#10 - 926
 
 
 
 
So... what do you think???
 

Do you agree?
Do you completely disagree??
Which is your favorite?
And, do I dare ask, which is your least favorite????

Color? Who needs color?!!!!

The importance of "No Color"

Did you know that it is a color choice on our templates??? And it can make a BIG difference!

This is something that we will be talking about a lot becuase it can really change the entire feel of a paper and completely change the use of a template.


We already showed you this one:
#1809-Custom Lockers
 
On the left is where the locker is silver, on the right it's "No Color" and the locker is gone:
 
 
And we showed you this one:
#914-Custom Flourish 3
 
On the left, the background is a color, making a texturized background.
On the right, the background is "No Color" making the background a solid white.
 
 
But check this one out:
#1810-Cheer
 
The left paper is clearly a cheerleading paper. The right paper is a paper for any sport!
On the right, again, the Pom Poms were made "No Color"
 
 
And look at this one:
#907-Custom Waves
 
The left one is a beach paper.
The right one is for ANYTHING!
Just make both waves "No Color" and choose your background color!
 
 
One more example:
#904-Custom Leather Grain
 
The left is regular.
In the middle, the border is "No Color".
On the right, both the border and the background are "No Color".
 
 
Like I said, we'll be playing around with this one a lot more but these hopefully will get you thinking about the diversity that these templates have!
 
What will you create?
 
Enjoy!
