    You should be able to get them. I’ve just updated the site to make it a bit easier.

    Click on the small template and you’ll get the large one for printing. Click on the large template to come back to the site.

    I’ve also made the templates display in a single line – it seems that in IE, they weren’t displaying.

    Please let me know if that works better for you. I hope your wife enjoys the templates.
