Phew it is Thursday....

...And I have a new freebie for you! But first let me post again about this donation kit. All the donations for this kit will go for my oldest sons trip to France. He is a senior in High School and a 4th year french student. This trip is an oppurtunity of a lifetime, he majors in the culinary arts, so not only does he want to develop his language skills but he wants to experience the atmosphere, and the tastes of France. Want to donate? Just click the little paypal donation button on the left and you will be taken directly to paypal. I will get the download link out to you as quick as possible. Thanks!

Next week I will be putting up a new donation kit and this one will be gone.... forever.





Here is a page I did with the kit:


This is my youngest boy, about 7 years ago... wow time really does fly!

You can pick up this LO as a Quick Page freebie ****Expired





Mini Tutorial:

to turn any layout into a quick page in CS2:

Before you merge your pictures into any layer... first save your page as a psd file. Finish up your page and merge as you wish and save, close it out. Ok now open up that psd file you saved, find your pictures in the layers pallette, click on that layer to make it active. Than on the top, go Layer>Layer Style>Blending Options. A box will pop up, in the middle change the knockout to deep, select OK. Then with the pic still your active layer, change the fill to 0% on top of the layers pallette, do this to all of your pictures in the layout. Don't forget to hide, or trash your journaling! Merge layers, and you have a quickpage! Save as a png file. Now what you do with the psd file is up to you. I save my printables in jpeg, and my quick pages as png... psd is big so I delete it if I'm done, but it is your choice.

ok, on to the really good stuff, I'm an avid freebie hunter too, ya know!
**** Expired is the free kit Harmony.
Enjoy!
