:{ I don't get the e-mail. :-( :-(. Must have been a bad girl.
Sign in first - then click from the email - you will have your design in an instant - Hehehe!
Same thing happened to me...but all you have to do if you have the freebie in your window, and then log in - is to back click once you've signed in...don't ask me how long it took me to figure that out! LOL *4 U.
Have you tried to sign in at Cute first, then go back and click on the e-mail link? That way you are already on line and should take you right there.
I got the design by signing in then reclicking the download for the free design. Be sure to get the design in the format you need by using the box at the side of the pattern.
