New Product just hit the stores!
My Creative Team requested my Bliss series in purple and here are the results. Available at both Memory Mixer and My Memories Suite.
Jen Scraps designs and I teamed up to create this fabulous set of Templates to help you catch up on your P52, 365 or P12 layouts. There double page layouts ready for your photos. You'll find these under Designer Allstar Alliance, not in my store (or you can just click on the photo below and it will take you to them!)
New Video Tutorial - How to Add Outside Content to Page Builders
Here is a video on how to add outside content to Page Builders. Please note that if you are having trouble we've discovered a minor glitch. If your box is larger than 12" the "Replace Image" button will not come up. Simply change the object width/length in the object info box to 12" and it will work.

Previews of all Page Builders
On Facebook I asked if anyone would be interested in having files they could print out of all the previews of the Page Builders. This makes it quicker/easier to find the page you want to work with. I created the previews, printed them out and let me tell you it sure is convenient! There are four sets per page and I created them in a size you can see clearly. They are saved in jpeg format so you can bring them into any word document as an image, enlarge to your page and print off.
So, for those of you who would like a quick reference to your Page Builders you can download it here (Sets 1 to 23). Hope these come in handy for you. Here is a sample of what you will get in the file. Remember, these aren't Page Builders themselves, just preview of the pages in each set.

A Tiny Glitch in Page Builders Fixed
Hello,
Over the weekend a customer contacted me because for some reason she was trying to use outside content in her Page Builder but it wasn't working properly. If you are wondering how to use outside content on your Page Builder stayed tuned, I will be adding a tutorial later this week. Anyway, back on topic. I played around a bit and realized a small glitch in the building process that made this method not work. It was an easy fix, just something that we weren't aware of when creating the Page Builders. I fixed them over the weekend. The Page Builders that were having issues were 11, 12, 13. If you own those and were having trouble please replace them by re-downloading and installing them. None of the other Page Builders except 20 had issues.
If you own Page Builder 20 and you are trying to install outside content change the size of the diagonal box to 12", add your papers and then put the size back to cover the entire page.
I have had a lot of feedback on the Page Builders and it sounds like you are all enjoying them. I am so glad. If you have a particular style you would like to see more of please send me an email at albumstoremember at gmail dot com.
Happy Building!!
