    The Groove January 2009 Freebie Challenge

    **Happy New Year!**


    Welcome to The Groove's Monthly Freebie Challenge!

    Hello from The Groove, Scrapbook MAX!'s *free* monthly newsletter.

    Each month, a featured designer will offer a great freebie mini-kit and issue a challenge based on that kit.

    All you need to do is download the freebie, create a layout that steps up to the challenge, upload it to your gallery, and post a link to your layout in a reply to this thread!

    Details about this month's freebie and challenge are below!

    The “Freebie” Part!

    Carena Scott has provided a beautiful set of freebies that is sure to add grace and elegance to your layouts!

    Find the freebies, attached below!
    * Please note that the freebies are attached as a .zip file. They will not automatically import into Scrapbook MAX!. To use them, simply choose Save when downloading. Then, extract the files from the saved .zip file as you would do with any .zip file. Then, drag and drop the images into the Scrapbook MAX! design space to use.

    The “Challenge” Part!

    Here's the fun challenge:

    Do a multi photo layout using most of the elements and 1 paper and have a play changing the opacity of one element. Shapes are fine to use for either 2nd paper or photos. Mostly, enjoy exploring.

    * * * *

    Be sure to check out the January 2009 issue of The Groove. You'll find stunning black and white layouts that are sure to inspire, a 10% off coupon for this month's featured Booster Pack Store kits,an awesome scrapper profile, and more!

    Here is my layout using the Groove Challenge Freebie - this time by me. LOL sorry you're stuck with me again this month as everyone else is in holiday mode.

    This layout done in Scrapbook Max program and the photo taken of our new Meerkats at Natureland - Nelson, New Zealand. We are so pleased to have them.
    I've used a shape for the photo and change the transparency of the glitter swirls in the corner of the blanket. Hope this helps to inspire. Can't wait to see your layouts. Enjoy

            Help uploading layout

            I have a layout that I'd like to share. I can attach it as a thumbnail image, but how do you get your page in here to display full-size?

              hi

              go to the gallery to your page > copy the first line of code under the page image marked UBBCode: > paste that code into this thread and when you press submit your page will appear in this thread

                You're too quick!

                Oh Carena! You were too quick! I deleted the message because I want to have my page display full-size like yours! How do I do that?

                  Diddo what Fiona said but you will need to upload to the gallery first. Click Scrapbook Gallery and then upload to get into the gallery first. Be sure to size it to suit gallery.

                    It's Your Day to Shine!

                    O.K. Here's trying again! I made this layout today using my Scrapbook Max program. Carena's freebies were a perfect match for my step-daughter's fall wedding photos. This is my first photo in the gallery and my first entry in The Groove's challenge.

                      Wow! I finally got done early for a change!! Thanks for the minikit, Carena. It went perfectly with Caden's outfit! I lowered the opacity on the smaller leaves and glittery swirls. Can you tell?

                      In case I go missing call Moonlightpearl, Granny, twpclerk or Smile! Then have them call Crops because we're probably together at the Yoville Races!
