I bought this product from the scrapgirls botique "SNU_SSEmb_ChristmasPhotoCollage" and I'm confused with how to use it. How do I insert picutres, change colors, etc.? I'm not sure I posted this in the right section, but thought I'd start here. I've done plenty of layouts with regular kits with papers and embellishments, etc., but I'm not sure how to use this and others like it that I've seen. I hope this makes sense and that someone can help! Thanks!

Hi and welcome to SG! What a fun Template you have. I don't have this particular one, but I love templates and use them all the time.

There's a great FREE eBook in the Boutique that will give you lots of help. It's the ScrapSimple Instructions Handbook. I it you'll find instructions on how to use every type of ScrapSimple product in many of the the different software programs (PSE, PSCS and some PSP). The instructions for using templates start on page 46. It uses a different template, but the idea is the same.

I hope that helps you. If not, keep asking! Glad you're here. Please post your project when you're done if you feel comfortable doing so. We all love to ooooo and aaaaah over things!

Welcome from me as well. You will love it here. There will always be someone to come along and help with a problem. When I started with Scrap Girls, I new nothing about PSE7. Everything I know comes from this site.

Wowwweeee! Ctrl-G - I NEVER KNEW! I'm still certainly no expert, but that one little nugget will go me a long way!!! Thanks so very much!!!

Another good one that I use a lot, is Ctl J. This duplicates anything. It's one of the short cuts that I use the most after Ctrl G. Glad you got it right.

Thanks for the tip - I'll try that one soon, too! What gems!

[B&K Mom]

Glad you got it to work! Besides Ctrl+G and Ctrl+J (my 2nd and 3rd most favorite shortcuts), my all-time favorite shortcut is Ctrl+Z (that's the UNDO shortcut). I use it so often my Z key is fading!

Each nugget builds on the next. Soon you WILL be an expert!

Welcome! I'm glad you got some tips to get you going. That is such a cute template! You can fill the blocks with photos, or, I've seen some nice layouts with bits of pretty paper or embellishments in a few of them. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with this.
