For the past 2 years, I have done a Christmas journal... just documenting with pictures and words all the happenings of the season: Setting up our tree, the cookie boxes I make up, the Christmas banquets and Christmas plays... just to mention a few. This year, I am more than ready to start on my '08 Christmas album. And I hope you are too.
So, I have a gift for you this Christmas... I want to share my pages with you. I digitally designed all the pages and I want to give them to you! That way, you can add your own pictures and words and make a memory that will last years and years.
If you look at the side bar, you will see the downloads for the pages: The psd. files are Photoshop files and they are in layers (these will not work with Photoshop 2) Layers means that you can go into that part of the image and easily change things. I also included downloads for jpeg. files for those who want to download and print the pages and just add the pictures.
My plan is to finish all my pages digitally and upload them to Shutterfly and make a book!
I will add my finished pages every day to my Christmas Album here.
You can see all the pages in the photo album I compiled in the side bar. The numbers for each page corresponds with both the jpeg and psd files.
Check back later for DAY 1's page. I am so happy to be doing this. If there is any glitches with files, please let me know and I will fix it.
Much love

A Huge thank you. Simpl;y STUNNING.

Wow. What a truly generous gift!!!! Thank you so very much. I can't wait to use these for this year's Christmas. Blessings to you and your family. And thank you so much for your scripture sharing on your blog. I love to read to the end just for that!:)

Wilna, these are just SO gorgeous and I really would LOVE to have them - I've already started my book for this year, but Christmas WILL come again!
The only thing is - I downloaded the first few psd's and my PSE6.0 won't recognize them as PSE files. Are they for Photoshop Elements or just Photoshop?
