YAY...i'm early - he he :o)  here is the free JULY desktop...i hope it brightens up your screen!  as always - we have two sizes available for ya...here you go:

CLICK HERE to download the 1024x768 version

CLICK HERE to download the 1280x800 version [widescreen]

and...because so many of you ask about the fonts...let me go ahead and post that info here!  july and 08 are both INCLINATION and can be purchased at scrapNfonts OR at ScrapGirls :o)  and...the week days are FRESH PAINT from typadelic!  of course...the numbers are my old fave CENTURY GOTHIC lol!  i hope this helps!

finally...i noticed there are a couple of recent comments asking how to work with the desktops :o)  my best advice is to check out our TUTORIALS page at the Shabby Shoppe!  even though these desktops are at 72dpi and are not a full album...our PIECE-A-CAKE album instructions/tutorials are perfect for this.  they will give you the basic concepts and knowledge for adding your photos to the desktops.  i might try to work up a special blog post in the coming weeks giving exact instructions...but for now - that should help quite a bit {GOOD LUCK and have fun with it} :o)

alrighty - back to work for me!  hope you are having a great week...

i hope you all had a wonderful Easter :)  we had a great time with family and friends...even got to see the Easter bunny (a few of them LOL)!  it's a busy spring here already...enjoying the weather for sure!  i still have not even had a chance to look thru my Easter weekend pics...but when i do...if there are any good ones - i'll post!

also - i wanted to THANK everyone so much for the sweet comments on the blog!  you have no idea how much all of that kindness means to me!  and...i wanted to address some of the questions/requests as well :)  first - i really do sincerely appreciate input and comments...really!  but, unfortunately, in regards to offering different versions of the free desktops...i'm so sorry - but that's just something i'm not able to do :(  i hope you can understand :)  but, since i started sharing them...i've received requests for at least thirty or so different versions (from LOTS of different sizes to boy/girl version to with/without calendars, etc.)...and i just can't take on all of them LOL!  i truly truly do hope you understand :)  it seems that between the 1024x768 and widescreen version...the majority are able to enjoy them and so i hope that's the case!  also...someone asked why i do not blog more often LOL!  honestly - i just do not have the time :)  i barely have time to design anymore...so when i am at the computer...i have to spend that time answering emails and designing :)

THANKS AGAIN all :)  hope you have a WONDERFUL week...and find some time to scrap!

[from the RoyalNerd!]

Hi all :-) this is the RoyalNerd posting for Shabby Princess. Unfortunately, the 'Princess' computer has 'bit the dust'. Thankfully, we have been able to recover almost all of her data (over 700 gigs worth!)... but she is still without a computer until we can rebuild and replace, ect. So, in the meantime she asked that I post this info for her, and that I share the FREE February desktop!

So, here you go! And please understand that SP is not able to access emails right now (I am taking care of the tech/customer emails at this time). Any emails on the business or personal side might take her a little while to follow up on.

Thanks,

The RoyalNerd
