You know how when it’s your birthday, and you go into the office (assuming you work in an office by day, or have done so at one time) strangely it’s You who is expected to “get the cakes in”?! Well in the spirit of that tradition… although it is the birthday of the SimplyScrapbookingNow Newsletter… it’s the Newsletter giving the FREEBIE to All along with a video tutorial (which gives more information too)!
Every month I send the Newsletter subscribers some sort of freebie download, but this month the freebie is available to Everyone and it is available right here!
Above is a sketchbook I have made which was inspired by Kristina Werner at Kwernerdesigns.com. Kristina made a sketchbook for Card makers and there is a free download of the template for the inside pages.
I thought the sketchbook was a great idea (and prettier than an ordinary notebook too!) so I decided to make one myself, but for scrapbooking sketches, so my inside pages have squares on them instead of card dimensions.
I then thought that as I had to make the inside pages anyway, I would share the printout with you. And I am also sharing the title block too which says “Scrapbook Sketches” on the front cover. The download links are below.
I am ALSO giving away these 3 sketchbooks books that I have made already - one of which, I actually made in the video (below) and to win one you just need to leave a comment on this post and on 30th September 3 people will be picked at random and I will be posting these books out as soon as I have addresses from the winners.
So here are the downloads in US letter and A4 versions - RIGHT click and “save target as”.

I’d like to thank Kristina for her inspiration - you should check out her blog… especially if you are also a card maker!
So here is the video… I hope you enjoy it.
I love that you adapted this for scrapbookers! I saw the original video and thought right away about the possibility for scrappers, and so appreciate your templates! Thanks!
very cute!
Great project. Might try to make a cardmaking one!

How incredibly amazing a woman from Central Alberta, Canada can enjoy the talents, creativity and generousity of a woman “across the pond” in Great Britain. Not so long ago that concept would have been recieved with the same scepticism as the possiblity of the earth revolving around the sun.
Don’t we live in a miraculous time.
Thanks! That was a great video. Thanks for the free downloads.
OMG!
I simply LOVE! this idea! Thank you so much for the opportunity to win!
