Get Yourself A Google Account - Set your browser cookies to remember

 One of my most favorite parts of freebie hunting is leaving comments, or as I like to refer to them, "warm fuzzies".  The benefits of taking a few extra minutes to leave a thank you are two fold; not only do you get to make someone feel really proud and warm inside about themselves as designers but it also invigorates the giving process - I cannot think of any person living who enjoys being taken for granted or isn't let down if their efforts aren't appreciated, designers are just the same as us. A little thank you goes a long way to securing our fun with freebies lasts for a long time also, we want to reward them for rewarding us, so the benefit of giving freebies remain and outweigh the cost, time and trouble that is part and parcel of the "freebie" process.
Are you doing your part as a freebie hunter to make the gift worthwhile?

Most blogs now issue a word verification request in order to prevent spam. Yes, it is annoying
but yes, we all have to endure this few seconds of annoyance - so I just deal with it.

 I think of my comments as my online version of "throwing a few coins" into the hat of a designer of which I enjoy and most times than not, get to leave with a sample of their talent for my own designs. Therefore it kinda feels like cheating or stealing if I enjoy the benefits and walk past the sad little empty hat, even though I have delighted in the freebie all the same.  Sometimes there are already comments, but that doesn't sway me either - in fact, leaving comments and conversation is an excellent way to get to meet other designers and digital scrappers like yourself.  I like to comment on all different mediums, sometimes forums are easier if there is a shop blogtrain freebie or in a gallery post directly underneath, of the competitions being ran by popular forums.

Kim B is offering a gorgeous template freebie (4shared) that has my latest obsession covered - cut out holes that reveal paper underneath! I just love a layout that has the hole punched look, which can be jazzed up with a gorgeous patterned paper or even a word art layer - love the possibilities that templates provide.
