    join the club
    i joined the club for $30 and I can read back issues and all 3 digital scrapbooking issues for as long as my club status is active. BUT!!! I can't download the stuff to go along with issues. I do OWN the #2 issue and have never been able to download the stuff to go along with the issue. How can we be forbidden to access this stuff thats out there for us right on the website? It's not fair. I don't think they are reading these comments.Maybe if you post this in the chat area someone will answer.

    I too am forbidden from downloading free kits for Volume #1. I have all three volumes. I am having this problem with volume 2 also. I have searched high and low through the magazine to see if there were links or codes to be able to get the downloads. No luck. Please advise.

    Computer Tricks #1
    For Circuit Rider (and jacksond): Cover price is $14.95 (US) and I haven't gone to the post office to see what it would cost to mail in a manila envelope - no special packaging. When I do, I will write to you via email. Mine is pointatob@hotmail.com. Just to remind you, this magazine is no longer in its original binding. I cut it off to put into a three ring binder for ease of propping it up next to the computer. No holes punched, I had it in plastic sleeves, but will take the pages out of those since I want to keep the plastic page holders. Will try to get back on-line next week to follow up.
