HERE'S THE CABOOSE! DAY 12 FREE DOWNLOAD

Woo-Hoo! What a ride! Thanks to all of you for downloading my free blog train gift! Some of you might be saying to yourselves, "but I don't really want to take the time to make a hybrid album." Well, you can still use this kit to make the pages and then mount them on 12"x12" backgrounds! I don't print 12"x12" layouts. A couple of reasons: the paper is very expensive, it takes a lot of ink to print them and many times the album size is too large for a bookshelf. I create all my pages at 12"x12" and then reduce them to 8"x8" for printing. I then trim the printed layouts and place them in page protectors in 8"x8" albums.

Another way would be to create your hybrid page, mount it on a plain coordinating background and go to one of the sites that offers photo books. There are many styles and sizes to choose from, and with a few adjustments you can put your layouts into their templates and voila! you have a beautiful hardcover book!

Happy Scrappin' my friends and HERE is your link to the last download! SORRY, THIS LINK HAS EXPIRED.

DAY 10 - 2009 POLAR EXPRESS FREE DOWNLOAD

You know, Christmas is just around the corner! I hate to say it, but it's true! Now is the time to start making your gifts! Albums of digital layouts are among the most coveted. Whether they are traditional albums or hybrid shaped albums, they can be passed on from generation to generation. That is why it is so important to include names and dates of photos at the very least on your layouts. More journaling is certainly desirable but optional. Tip: If you are going to add journaling, check your spelling! If you are in doubt, look it up in the dictionary! Yep! Same tip your teachers always gave you. LOL!

Here is your DOWNLOAD for Day 10
