I start to accept, that creativity needs a routine and a schedule. So I decided that I need some kind of schedule for this blog too.
Long term commitment, but not a stressful one (because I don’t like stress).
Here is an idea:
Once a month I will create and post a FREE template (collage, card, album page) for Lightroom 3 (Print Panel) first of all (but that might change).
I did create some templates before and you can see\download previous bundle of free 20+ collage templates for Lightroom 3 here – <<LINK>>
(I am exited that those templates were featured on Adobe blogs, Adobe Lightroom Facebook page, Lightroom Killer Tips blog and other blogs :))
So… Here is my First Monthly Share…
August Freebie – 20×20 collage\storyboard (for 9 photos):

some useful links with that:
- Tutorial - “How to install, use and export Lightroom 3 templates”
- Tutorial – “How to change a background color in Lightroom 3 template”
p.s. It would be great if you send me a link to show how you use this (or any other templates) – just post a comment or send me an email :)

Thank you so much for being so generous to share! I have been looking for LR templates and I love this one!
Great template, really nice layout, thanks for sharing.
Muchas gracias!
Thank you very much Mariano!
I’m glad you like these templates too!
Looking for templates for christmas. Not sure where to find them for LR3. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!I can purchase them through different companies although, not sure whether they will be easy to use in LR3 if they are formated for Photo Shop CS4 and above. I just use LR for now. Thanks for your time.

Hi Mary,
All Holiday cards that are sold in online stores are usually in PSD format. Most of the time they have more than one layer (you can move and edit text, color of the background). Unfortunately Lightroom is not enough to use those files. you will need Photoshop.
I guess the only way to use those templates with Lightroom is to flatten PSD file, open it as a PNG or JPG in Lightroom, go to Print mode and put images inside one or two openings of that PSD template. It’s not an easy way at all :(
