A template as far as scrapbooking is concerned, would be a precut page. If you are going down the aisle those are pages that you can insert in your scrapbook that basically have spots cut out for your photos. And I think there are other templates that will have a few spots for photos and they actually already have the themes already glued on them and everything. So all you have to do is fill that in and then stick the page in. The thing about the template use is that you've got to have the same kind of book that the template is for. If you've just gone down and bought yourself a photo album and you are going to scrapbook in your photo album and you try to use one of those templates, it's going to be difficult to attach the page in there. So, you need to make sure that you have got the same kind of book that the template requiring you to have.
