Yes, there are easier tools to use. Yes, there are easier ways, but if you're looking for something to give your layouts a little different look, get one of these templates! I would recommend buying the bundle with the clips and the photo labeling pencil. Those clips hold the stencil securely so that it doesn't slip as you mark your paper. Those of us who have been scrapping for several years can get into a rut and we are always looking for something to change up the look of our layouts. There is a video that you can watch to show you how to use the template. 5 stars for me!

All the tracing, cutting, etc. is so labor intensive...and not well explained if someone just started scrapping. We have so many easier ways, so many easier tools to create stand out pages
