A template for guiding an implement on a design page, such as a scrapbook page. The template has a first plurality of interior edges defining shapes and a second plurality of interior edges defining borders around the shapes. The first and second pluralities of interior edges are configured on the template so as to provide a layout that is transferrable to the design page. According to one embodiment, the interior edges are configured on the template so as to provide a layout which is transferrable to the design page without having to reposition the template. The layout is employed, according to one embodiment, to arrange display objects, such as photographic or hand-drawn pictures, on the design page. In one embodiment, the template has a third plurality of interior edges defining slots, which are employed to guide a user in writing captions corresponding to the displayed objects.

Page maker template

A template for guiding a writing or cutting implement which comprises a plurality of patterns along its outer edges. In one embodiment, the template has four outer edges, each comprising a different pattern. The template further comprises a plurality of voids or cut-outs defined by shape-defining edges, disposed within the face of the template. The template further comprises a plurality of corner hole edges, center hole edges and rectangular marker hole edges for facilitating the positioning of the template on to a transfer sheet. Another embodiment of the template includes a layering system, designed to enable stenciling of a unique layered pattern. The layering system comprises a plurality of sets of voids or cut-outs defined by shape-defining edges, each set having a plurality of marker holes associated therewith. Each set of shapes is stenciled after being successively aligned with a marked drawing spot, and a layered effect is created by stenciling only that portion of each shape from a set which does not overlap any shapes from a previously stenciled set.
