    Can someone tell me how to resize it so all stuff will fit
    Or to get these pics in to EAGLE?

    I think you can see the difference between the clock PCB pic and real one
    On the diagram the clock PCB is bigger then the led PCB !

    First you need to look at the easiest part used on the PCB to get measurements for. In this case it's the SC8560 digital clock IC. It's 25,6 mm x 10 mm. You can look it up here.

    If you got that, you can go on and resize the image to match the size of it.

    Next you need some fix-points, to matchup the two different sized PCBs. Therefore we take the 3 holes that are used to fix the two PCBs to each other (marked red in the drawing!)

    And voilá, you got your measurements for the PCBs.

    I didn't measure it 100%, its just a very quick and dirty thing I did in Photoshop there, but the way to get it done should be clear.

    I've got another question

    How do you do a mirror reflection?
    I want to use toner transfer to make those PCBs.

    It's a kit you can purchase. Link in the first post.

    If you look at the pictures you'll figure out the parts used tho.
