Digital templates

So I have been seeing all of these digital scrapbooking templates on the web, and wondering what the big idea was. I didn't know how the templates worked, and quite frankly they seemed like a waste of time. To me they just looked like sketches - what was so cool about that? Becky Higgins came up with that idea years ago. HOWEVER, today I read this template tutorial - and thought I'd give it a try.

HOLY COW!

Digital templates ROCK! It makes a digital scrapbook page come together in just a few minutes. I'm so dang excited about it - and plan on using these fun templates all the time now. Anyone want to list their favorite digi-template websites? I'd love to know other's faves.
