Hey is anyone out there?

[mackie]

I was wondering if you can use paper templates, to create papers, on SBM and if so, could somebody give me the steps, please. Also can I use them for publishing or is that taboo.

I guess I don't understand the question, do you mean scan paper and use it in SBM?

[mackie]

Nope, I have bought several paper templates, where you can design your own paper with different colours and such. I bought them from ScrapGirls website. They give you a gray template and you fill the areas with colours or gradients or whatever you want. I hope this explanation helps, I don't know any other way to explain myself.
Thanks for getting back to me Marion. You are always there.

I don't think you can use them in SBM. You need a selection tool to select the area to fill with color. I tried one that I have and I couldn't even change the color using the adjust color feature. It made a nice black and white paper though. I just thought of this--If you set your background to a color you wanted, and then put the paper template over the top, you could make a black and (whatever color you chose) paper. Make sure the templates are png files first. The one I was using was. This wouldn't work if it was a jpg. One more thought--you could also lower the opacity of the template to let more of the color show through.

I tried one of my templates & here's how it turned out. This template is also from ScrapGirls. I filled the background color with pink, put the template on top, and then lowered the opacity until I was satisfied with how it looked. So I guess you can use them in SBM, you just can't change as many things as you would be able to with Photoshop or other programs.

Thanks for the information. I'll try it.
I appreciate at it.
