Links

Thanks to KraziKatLadi for pointing out some broken download links. I've re-uploaded the problem files, so they all should work now. If there are still any issues, please let me know.

Anyone else out there who has been meaning to make calendars but hasn't gotten around to it? Miss Mint's blog has a really great idea for a quick and simple calendar. You basically just take a photo and put a calendar stamp and mat onto it. Super easy. I made mine yesterday and printed it out this morning. I gave out CD case calendars last year and wanted to make "refills" this year. Instead of binding horizontal pictures, I just cropped the photos to the size of the CD case calendar pages.

** Update **
The following templates have been re-uploaded:
13a
18
35a
36
Let me know if there are any others that are not working.

Seasons Greetings

I am working the next 8 days and then going out of town for 5 days, so it may be awhile until my next post. Here are SIX downloads (three 12x12 and three 8.5x11) to keep you busy! The first 2 sets are based off of a 2 page spread in a clothing catalog. The last set is based on a set of windows in my neighborhood. I saw it while driving to work the other day and thought it would make a nice page. I hope you all have a very merry Christmas and the happiest of New Years!

Here are the 8.5x11 templates:







Here are the 12x12 templates:

Semester End

So sorry I haven't posted anything new lately! I just finished my last final, so the past couple of weeks have been kind of hectic for me. Nothing new today either as I have not had time to work on a template. However, a couple of people have asked to see the timeline layout that I made of me and my boyfriend. So here you go!

I'll try and be back soon with a new template (or two).

Timeline

I saw an advertisement in a magazine that I thought would make a really great page. It had a line going across two pages with alternating pictures and captions. I decided to make a layout with a timeline of pictures of my boyfriend and me over the past six years. And since I was really happy with how it turned out, I created templates to share with all of you.

I have four versions. I have a two-page layout and a one-page layout in both 12x12 and 8.5x11 sizes. The two-page templates have eight photos and the one-page templates have four photos. I only put four on the one-page templates because the photos would have been too small otherwise.

First are the 12x12 templates:





And here are the 8.5x11 templates:





I hope you all have fun with these! I'd love to see what you are able to make with these, so feel free to leave a comment or email me a link to your layouts!

Caught Up

I have five 8.5x11 templates for you today, which means I'm finally caught up. Well, at least with the converted templates. I still need to catch up on all the sketches. That may take awhile. But at least now when I release a new template, I will have both sizes available at the same time!

Here are today's templates:

Entertainment Books

I love these things! They have saved me so much money. The trick, of course, is to only use the coupons on things you were going to spend money on anyway. Last year, I spent $20 and probably saved at least 5 times that.

If you have not already purchased your book, I saw a great deal posted in the slickdeals.net forums. The Entertainment book is now $10 off plus free shipping. Also, if you are a registered Cashbaq member, you can get $10 cash back. If you are a new member, you also get $5 just for joining. For those of you not familiar, www.cashbaq.com is a site that offers you varying percentages cash back on purchases you make from their site. Once your Cashbaq balance is over $10, they either send you a check or credit your PayPal account. I only just joined, so I can't really vouch for it personally, but I have seen several people talking about it on various money-saving forums.

Anyway, I just purchased my book. With everyone's finances hurting right now, I wanted to pass along the info. I hope it is able to help some of you out.
