All in a Day's Work


  One very oppressively hot day in July, I took to my computer to tackle a project that seemed insurmountable.   One lady in particular will appreciate this work, as it took nearly an entire day to complete!  This little project uses a digital scrapbooking package called Memory Mixer (MM).  And while I love digital scrapbooking, the package has one major, time-consuming flaw:   being able to quickly browse through all of the backgrounds, embellishments, frames, borders, that the user has purchased while working on the project. In an attempt to fix the problem, the company came out with a layout that allows users to copy and paste a profile picture of each "item" into a thumbnail picture regardless of (whether it's a bundled group of papers and embellishments, or a single decoration or sentiment).  Here's my first draft - I still need to finish my cover page, tidy up my fonts, group similar objects, and send the finished product off to a printer.   Click here for full instructions on to copy & paste these thumbnail images into your design catalog.
