4.5 x 6.5 calendar with photos Sunshine - Page 013

These calendars measure 4.5” x 6.5” and are designed to fit in the mini PicFolio Minutes albums.   This project has two different calendar layouts.  One with just the calendar and you can use a photo as the background and the other calendar set, is the smaller calendar with a photo and you could add journaling.  These are designed to go with the PicFolio Minutes albums.

What do the Christmas holidays mean to you?  What memories do you recall?  Create some pages of your memories and share with others. 

Sharing Live Templates

Do you want to learn how to share your live templates with others on Facebook, your blog or in other ways?  First off, the pages are usually too large to send by way of email.  So you will have to have a file storage place on the web like www.4shared.com  You will then be able to send links that others can download. 

This webinar will show you how to create a live template, along with saving and retrieving the correct page to post and share with others.

Content Manager & Keywords

Learn how to organize your content manager and create keywords for searching.  When you organize your content, do this the way your brain thinks.  There is not right way or wrong way to organize.  Just think how you will best find them down the road.  Here are a few suggestions:

  • Seasons
  • Package type (discover, earthy, jewel, etc)
  • Pre-designed
  • Digital kits
  • Power Palettes Digital Additions

These are the categories I have used:

  • Digital Embellishments
  • Digital Overlays
  • Commercial
  • Free Downloads Themes
  • Pre-designed pages
  • Word Expressions
  • My Stuff

Content Manager & Keywords webinar link  This webinar is about 30 minutes long.
