Howdy! I use PSE 14. I’ve used templates before but found that I prefer my own eclectic style and take items from one template and take items from another template and create a new template of my own. 🙂
KM Hoch says
I am currently learning to use PSE 14 and I have used templates before. I have used Artisian 5 and My Memories for digital scrapbooking also.

AJ says
What a wonderful opportunity! I’m using PSE 11 ’cause I still haven’t mastered all it has to offer . I do use templates and like to combine pieces and parts from more than one . . . now that I’ve finally learned how. But there are so many techniques that I’d still like to learn (i.e.; how to make vellum, how to make a thin border, how to draw a straight line, the subtleties of re-coloring, and lots more!).
Thanks for the chance to win!
Bev Mascara says

Hello, I use PSE14. Thank you Melissa you have taught me so much about using it. I have had a few versions through the years.

LeeAnn Snare says
I am using Photoshop Elements 13. I have used templates but I tend to do more of my own thing, just getting ideas from templates. That gives me more freedom to use as few or as many photos as I want.
ShelA says
Hi! Using PSE 13 now… I have used templates before, and they can be time savers – except for the ones with more flowers for my taste. Like DeAnna, I have created templates of my own for use in and album, about 8 different layouts to use that follow the color and element theme of the book. Thank you for offering this chance to enjoy the Big Picture Classes for a month!
