Happy Freebie Friday!! Ah yeah! Who doesn't love a little extra digi love in their stocking? Especially when it is free! No need to dig in your penny jars or hunt down coupons. This one is on us.

First off, I wanted to show you a super easy project that you can literally put together in minutes. How many of you are planning on traveling in the next few days? Anybody dreading it because of the inevitable "Are we there yet" and "How much longer" whines that are sure to come? Kari Holt has come to the rescue with her awesome Travel Games printables.

I made this cover with Crystal Wilkerson's July 2009 Collection. I love how these papers and embellishments coordinate so well with the travel theme.

I printed out a bunch of the games in Kari's pack for my little booklet. She has designed fun games like bingo, tic-tac-toe, hangman, and many more. I cut a piece of thin chipboard to back my booklet and make it a little sturdier. Then I simply stapled it all together.

I showed this to my husband and my sister and they both said they wanted one. This will be a hit with not only your kids, but with grown ups too!

Rachael made this awesome desktop calendar for the coming year with a variety of Crystal Wilkerson's patterned papers and elements.

She purchased this desktop calendar from Ikea. You can find something similar in stores like Target or office supply stores if you are like me and live in a sad state with no Ikea. :(

Look at these cute calendar pages that she made. The simple streamline design really shows off her beautiful pictures.

Guess what? Rachael and Crystal are gifting their talents to you! That's right! Today you can download your very own 2010 desktop calendar. The pages are already designed for you. All you have to do is add a photo underneath the the calendar page layer. Voila! You are set! This would be an awesome last minute gift to put together.

Rhonda - since they are sized 4x6 you can upload them (or take them on a disk or flash drive) to any place you might regularly have photos printed ... I like to use Costco. They will print just like a normal 4x6 photo and you will have a darling calendar!

I love that calendar. I made CD Case Calendars this year, but those IKEA ones are so much nicer, I wish I had seen them first.

Thank you for the great calendar! Could someone tell me where to find the desktop calendar holder? I went to IKEA on-line and couldn't find one. Also went to my local Target and Staples - no luck.
