I think I've had a pretty productive day today so be prepared for a lot of sharing!
First off, wanna see what I spent a majority of the day doing? I made an album! It's 8x8 and I created it using my 8x8 Post Bound Album kit. If you haven't used the kits yet, let me tell you about them. They come with pre-cut and drilled acid-free bookboard, screw posts, and page protectors. The instructions to put them together are on my website. They are really easy and fun and it's an awesome way to have a totally customized album. I needed something to store all my printed digital pages in so this is what I came up with:
I used fabric paper by Michael Miller and the Making Memories Tag Maker. Here's a few more shots of my completed album with some printed digital pages in it.
I also finally decided how to finish this layout.. I posted it a while back but never figured out what I wanted to do with the right side... I remembered this Dave Matthews song called "I'll Back You Up" and borrowed some of the lyrics from it. This is me and my brother back in '82.

I picked up this awesome kit from Laura Alpuche at the Digi Chick called Symphony. Isn't it gorgeous?
Here's what I made with it. The artist is Rachael Yamagata and I took the photos at last years Austin City Limits music festival.

Which brings me to my first freebie! I'm absolutely obsessed with curves lately (I'm sure you'll notice the trend in the other freebie too). Again, I did this in both 12x12 and 8.5x11 so there is something for everyone!
