Featured Customer:
JaNae Messick

This month's featured customer is JaNae Messick, who sent us this innovative use of our 8x10 calendar paks! JaNae likes to use the calendars in her children's square albums, so  drags the completed calendar page on top of one of our papers, adds more elements if desired, and has a great memory page sharing what events occurred that month. Love it!

Supplies:
Adobe Photoshop Elements 3
2006 8x10 Calendar Pak download (JaNae used 2005)
Lilac Page Pak download (mat)
Tangerine Splash Page Pak download  (ribbon - changed color)

JaNae also sent us this idea on how to organize her growing stash of CottageArts.net graphics:

"I organize all of my digital resources in Adobe Photoshop Album by putting a tag on each individual image (like "paper" or "embellishment" or even more specific).  When I'm looking for paper I can do a search for "paper" and see ALL my options immediately without having to go through each file.  I still have the option of using Windows Explorer and searching within individual page paks and CDs that all coordinate together."

Michelle's TIP: Most of our CDs have printable 8.5x11 PDF image catalogs within the Help.html file. Print them out and put them in a 3-ring binder for easy searching.

Keep Learning!
