Just wanted to let you all know I will be taking the month of July off to spend with family. The kids are off school and family is visiting from out of country so I want to take advantage of this time with them. I will resume designing part-time in August and then get back into the full swing of things in September onces the kids are back in school.

Hope you all understand. My motto has always been family first. :) Hope you all have a great summer.

p.s. I did load a new kit to both stores so it should release first week of July. Also released a few more Page Builders at My Memories Suite. I will create more for Memory Mixer this fall, I promise!

Winning number was post #3. I went to view the comments and it looks like the third post was by Rachel Martinez who wants to give the software to her daughters teacher. I am sure she will enjoy it!

If you still don't own the MMS software you can use coupon code STMMMS0718 to receive $10 off plus get $10 in store credit.

Using MyMemories Software to Customize your Purse Cards

1.  Download template file and install it into your software
2. Using MyMemories Suite, choose Create Album From Designer Template and find your project
3. Now you can print and enjoy the provided template, or customize it with your own papers and embellishments.

TIP: You can right-click on the white guide and lock it in place to keep it from moving while you are working. Make sure this is the top layer of your project before printing.
 
IDEA: Instead of adding the paper as a background paper, you can add it as an embellishment so that you can move the paper around.  This is especially useful when using papers with stripes or circles, so you can decide which part of the paper you want to use.  Once it is added as an embellishment, you can now select the paper and move it into the position you want it. 
 Just SAVE and PRINT on cardstock!

Purse Card Tutorial

1.  Print your Purse Card templates on cardstock and gather supplies.  (Recommended supplies: small craft scissors, bone folder, 8-12" of ribbon, stapler, tape or velcro)

TIP: To print your information on the inside create another page with the template in place.  Put all your text and embellishments in (leaving a little room on the edges) and then remove the template right before exporting or printing the inside page on the back of the first.  This will keep from having to worry about if the templates line up exactly when cutting out your card.

2.  Using the scissors cut along outside line.
