Who here uses CM's SBC+ for digital scrapping?

[AJackson]

Just thinking about losing everything you buy/download is just scary!!! That makes me want to go home and back everything up, which I will this weekend! I can't wait to make my first scrapbook with SBC+!
I am going to use all of the pictures from when I lived in Germany for 6 months. This was in 2002 and I've done absolutely nothing with all of the pictures . I visited different cities in Germany, numerous places in Italy, Amsterdam, Switzerland, London, and Luxembourg.

Anyone have any suggestions for some good kits to use? I'd like everything to look very regal and classic. I have a ton of pictures in Italy and Switzerland, with oceans, lakes, snow, mountains, etc. And in Amsterdam I saw the Prince get married and the Anne Frank House, so I have some cool pics for that. Any suggestions please??

I have a ton of Brittish designs kits. I love her stuff!! I also have several random kits from Scrapmatters and Scrapgirls. Have you checked out ikeagoddess.com? She list TONS of freebies from all kinds of sites. It is awesome and FREE!!!

I have checked out Britt-ish designs, and all her stuff is so amazingly cute!!
Since I'm new to this digi-scrapping world, I have been looking at any web-site I can get my hands on! I really liked shabbyprincess.com too. I think I downloaded all 21 free kits! lol. I just love with SBC+ how easy it is to mix and match stuff. Probably why I keep downloading everything I find. haha I also purchased some of the CM Disney stuff. I like how with the pre-designed pages you can copy an embellishment and use it in another scrapbook (I know, that's very basic, but I was still happy about it )

I have some of the CM disney stuff too and I like most of it. Anything I don't like I can change color or add my own embellishments and make it more "me".

I also like Seebees Freebies for Disney stuff too. There is so much out there I find myself downloading material instead of working on LO's!!

[AJackson]

Lol, so far I am the same way! I've downloaded a ton of stuff! But I've worked on like 6 or 7 practice pages. I'll start working on actual LO's as soon as I get all of my Europe pictures put on a disc and uploaded. Then the real fun begins

I'll try to upload some templates this weekend for sure! I'll let you know when they are up!!

No pressure!!! But I can't wait to see! Tiffany

Hey Jessica -- Have you figured out to do templates with the spots for pictures in SBC pluS? I have a couple LOs I'd like to convert to templates... but I can't figure out how to make the spot for the picture to save as a .png. I've tried the magic wand thing, but can't seem to get it to work right.... It would be fun to share templates. Christy

Great! I'll be out of town all next week for training, so no DIS, but I can't wait to get back home and check them out. I've looked at some of your LO's and they are so awesome!!

[labdogs42]

Well, you guys sure are convincing. I decided to take my Illuminations at night layout and turn it into a template for everyone to try. I posted the original LO and the link to download the template on my blog. Let me know if it works!! Thanks!!

I just did one and I just saved it as a StoryBook File so the "add photo here" spots would be there for the person who is using it. Saving as .png would remove that functionality. People using something other than SBC+ won't be able to use them, but we should all be able to share them with each other. Those PSE users have enough templates anyway!! Try the one I just posted and see if it makes sense to you.

WOW!! It totally worked. How awesome. I have no idea how you did that? Was it complicated?

OH Wait -- I'm a ding dong. I think I just figured it out..... So awesome Jessica. I love that template too -- it's a fun one!

[DisneyCruiser2008]

Ok.... I think I uploaded one... will someone try to download it and see if it works? How exciting. I don't have a lot of LOs that are "template worthy," but this one took me a while when I made it because of all the pics and layers so I thought it would be a fun one to convert to a Template.

I love it! Such a great LO!! I can't wait to get home and download it onto my computer and play with SBC+. Thanks again!
