      getting started

      So, I am not only addicted, but competitive too
      Please explain this process - is the color swatch the only colors I am to use? I get how to change sizes and that the theme is important - how appro for Moms Day - what other tips can you offer to get me more enamoured with this software, LOL, as my hubby thinks I am now having a PC affair
      LOL again

      Thanxx for the tips

        Challange will start on tuesday

        your mission if you are willing to accept it (ive been watching too many films lol) will be to make mother/grandmother themed pages and just to make it a little harder i'd like to see lots and lots of 8 x 10 sized pages (bet you all thought angelwithin meant something nice until then didnt you lol)

        so its mother/grandmother themed pages in 8 x 10 size

        there will be a large kit uploaded on tuesday to get you started

        and heres the colour swatch


        hi FB

        on tuesday i will be uploading a complete kit with papers and embellishments - with that and the colour swatch you make up page layouts using your photos

        you can make extra embellishments, papers, frames etc if you wish to to go with layouts keeping to the colour scheme and most of us share these in this forum so others can use them in the kit too

        you can make as many or as few pages as you want, upload them in this thread as templates and obviously show them off in the gallery so that by the end of may we should have a huge kit of embellishments and huge album of template pages all in a mother/grandmother theme (in 8x10 size hint hint) in the swatch colours

        hope that made sense

              Foina,

              Thank you for this overview of how the challenge works, I wasn't fully aware of having to use the 'swatch' colours etc - now all is clear.

              Looking forward to participating.

              Regards,

                Just a little Suggestion.....

                I found that ORGANIZATION can be tricky. This is what I do,..... I create a folder for that month (Example: May Challenge) Throughout the month, I save everything I get from forum in that folder. As I am designing pages. I take everything out of that folder. That way I don't get things confused with my other folders and I have everything handy in one folder. At the end of the month, when I'm done with them for that month. I will sort out my goodies and move them to their permant folders.

                      I also make a separate folder for each challenge. Unfortuneately I have'nt kept up with sorting them afterwards. I still have to to that. But that was my plan! I better start before I get really behind!

                      I also put a copy of the color swatch in the folder to make it easier for making things.

                        I make separate folders for each challenge, but I keep it all together in that folder so that everything is color coordinated if I want to use it again.

                          Gee Marion, great Idea. Maybe I won't take the time to separate them. I had moved all the previous month challenges to my external hard drive so they are not taking up space on my computer. But they are still easy to access, and I can bring the folder to my desktop if I want to use it.
