We already are giving away gifts all month long here on The Daily Digi, but I (Katie) have another fun little present for you today!
I plan to make an entire mini album using the 2 templates from this gift and I already have a good start on it. I’m excited to share this fun project and I know you will be inspired to digi scrap some birthday celebrations of your own with these versatile templates!
I decided to use this cheerful birthday kit by Gina Cabrera at Digital Design Essentials. I picked this kit because I thought it worked equally well for boys and girls of all ages. (Gina is one of this month’s amazing contributors to The Digi Files 11)
I used the templates in their original formats to create these 2 pages about my daughter’s first birthday.
I journaled all of the details on the first page so I just used the space on the other layout for photos. I used the CK footnote font for the journaling and the title font is Fontologie Chubby Times. (The”Happy Birthday” title is part of the template)
…
Using the exact same kit and templates, here are 2 layouts from my daughter’s 12th birthday.
I simply moved around the journaling and used only 1 photo to change up the template a bit.
Using some of the photo spaces as journaling blocks is another great way to extend the use of a template.
…
Birthdays are a fun topic to scrap, and don’t worry if you are lacking the traditional cake and party photos, focus on capturing the memories of the day. A well journaled page will always be a treasure!
P.S. Congratulations to Sarah C. who is our GIFTaway winner today! She was randomly chosen from those that have purchased TDF11 so far this month! She won a $10 GC to Sweet Shoppe Designs!! Check your inbox!

Thanks for the template and inspiration. I have a mini album started for my oldest girl, but haven’t really scapped my other kids’ birthdays yet. Now I have a start!
These templates are great! Thank you!
Thanks for the template, Katie, and the great ideas on reusing them. Too often I just consider once i’ve used a template, it’s “done” and that’s the wrong mindset with digi.
Great templates, I love how you showed them being used with the same kit twice – and yet they both are different. So many people think they can use kits and templates only once.
Thanks for the great templates. I love the clean simple style and how you changed them up in the second LO.
It is my birthday month toooo! Thank you for all these birthday ideas! Just love TDD!!
Love the templates! Thanks so much!

Thanks so much! I love templates!
So sweet – thank you
Cute pages Katie! I like the idea of actually reusing templates. I know with digi we often say one of the biggest benefits is being able to reuse supplies, but it’s something I rarely do. So I really like this idea!
Thanks for these templates! I’m just learning to use templates for my digi-scrapping and these are so versitile! Happy Birthday Daily Digi!
A wonderful album idea and so inspiring! Luv em! And congrats to Sarah for being the lucky winner!
Oh, and thank you so much for awesome templates!
I am so missing the preview “peeks” of all the sponsors’ contributions! I was so impressed when I saw them last month & it helped me make the decision to purchase. Please, pretty please, put “the peeks” back in?
Thank you for the templates!!! WOW THe LO are gorgeous
