I was wondering why there were so many templates, as opposed to page kits, in the December e-zine? Are there more beginning 'click and drop' scrappers subscribed than intermediate and advanced? Is this because of subscriber request?

I'd love to be able to use the papers in Shelleyrae's 'Shabby Christmas' LO, for example, but I can't because it's all one image. I suppose I could try to extract the big red matte in the middle, but trying to reconstruct the bg papers to fill that hole is far more work than I can handle or am willing to invest 'just' for a bg paper.

I love all the work the DTMs put into the e-zine because they are far more advanced creatively and digitally than I am... which is why I subscribed to the e-zine in the first place! However, I now have 6 templates that I'll either have to carefully extract bits from to use in my LOs or have to set aside until I come across a photo that will fit in the allocated space and/or be the same theme or colors.

Maybe it's just me, but I'd much prefer to have all separate page kits rather than any templates at all. Thanks!

it appears we are feeling generous this month. See, what you might have missed is that there are also still 3 kits included in the zine along with 6 page byte templates. Normally there are three of each. So you are actually getting a bonus

Margie, Amanda and Suzanne each provided a kit where you can download the backgrounds separate from the elements.


I'm sorry that you were interested in Shelleyrae's page byte as a kit with broken elements. I can't recall if Shelleyrae is one like myself, who is stuck using a dialup connection. I unfortunately can not upload a 20 meg page kit to the SBB admin until I get my high speed in January. So until then, you are getting flattened templates from me. It is easier to be generous with templates than with kits given the length of time they take to transfer


Hope that clarifies things for you.

and it's also a whopping $3 for those 3 kits and 6 templates!! quite the deal!

I am good at holding my tongue and probably should leave it alone, but gotta say, this is the best deal and the best quality on the web. Thank you to all you wonderful women who give us such terrific stuff, not just in the e-zine, but all month long in the elements!
Many Thanks

I, for one, am *loving* the templates!

I leave for Australia next week to visit my family whom I have not seen for 4 years. Naturally, I have a lot of scrapbooking to catch up on so that I may show my family my photos. If not for those page templates, this whole enterprise would have taken me a heck of a lot longer.

I love making pages from scratch, but I also believe that page sets have a very important purpose too. Thank you so much ladies for your fabulous contributions! They have made my scrapbook look so wonderful!
