We will be honoring 3 winning layouts. The 1st place winner of the "The Four Seasons" contest will receive a $20 gift certificate to the Scrapbook MAX! Booster Pack Store. Two runners-up will each receive an official Scrapbook MAX! mousepad.

To enter, publish your layout as a JPEG image at High Quality and Web/Email size, and upload it to the contest page.

We encourage you to reply to this thread after you enter the contest. Post a link to your entry and tell us a bit about it so we can all get in on the fun!

MONTHLY FREEBIE

And now for everyone's favorite – THE MONTHLY FREEBIE, courtesy our "very own" Diana Carmichael! This christening-themed kit includes: 2 backgrounds, 1 mat, 2 jeweled accents, and 3 jeweled wordart.

Here's what Diana says about her work:

"I've never been one to follow the crowd, but rather "to do my own thing." (You should have seen me in high school!) Oh, sure, I may incorporate an idea here and there, but most of the time I like to create from a different viewpoint to capture interest. And I tend to pour a lot of my own feelings into the creation of my designs, making them right from my heart."

Want to see more of Diana's creations? Find her section of the Scrapbook MAX! Booster Pack Store here:

Help!

OK, I still new to digital scrapbooking and brand new to the Groove Newsletter freebies. Once I download it, what do I do? I saved it to my desktop. Should I have saved it some other way?

If you click on the icon on your desktop it will download the items to the embellishment folder in SBM. It is located under the red heart in the creation work area. If you click "open" rather than "save" when you open the link, it will do the same thing, it just won't put the icon on the desktop. After you click on the icon you can delete the icon from the desk top.

I hope that made sense.

Congrats to the winners! Loved the freebie Diana, thanks.

Your profile was great Tina. How wonderful for you and your sister to have found your father after so long. The photo of the three of you is something I'm sure you will treasure.

Thanks for another great edition of The Groove!

I love being near the ocean and going out to Montauk is always a favorite spot, for me and this bird.
