I chose the page template and clicked on the message saying that I understand it might contain Premier artwork and then got the template

New link to Idea Book

I just put a new link in the side bar.  You can see the 2011 Fall and Winter Idea Book, filled with project ideas, Club HM info, and prices.  Enjoy!

Are your digital files organized and ready to be made into projects?  If not, here is a way to get them that way.

 1: Put all picture files into one folder with a name that you recognize as projects pictures.  My main folder is in My Pictures with a sub-folder named "Scrapbooking project pictures"
2:  Make Sub-folders in your main folder and move all pictures that fit that category into that folder.  (e.g.  2011 Vacations, Kid's sports, Etc.)
3:  After you have all the pictures categorized, go through your folders and DELETE all but the very best pictures that have a story or meaning behind them.

VIOLA!  You are now ready to start your projects in an organized manner!  HAVE FUN!
