Paige is here, and we’re so excited for readers to read her story!

Today I wanted to share with you something really cool I found in the MyMemories Digital software store. They are called “Page Builders” by Albums to Remember.
I started using these right after they were released in the store. Why? Because they are SUPER easy, it’s super quick to make a page layout, and my pages still look nice and put together!!
Let me show you an example…

This is Page Builder #36 (4 pages of layout template. only $1.99!!) which can be found here:

(credits for layout: Page builder #36 by Albums to Remember. Papers and embellishments from “All in a Day” kit by Albums to Remember.)

All I did is change my paper colors and added a couple really simple embellishments. Thats it!! It’s so easy!! The great thing about the page builders is that you can make it as easy or as detailed and complicated as you want it to be!! Because of these page builders, I’m able to keep up with my weekly scrapbooking layouts for the year.

Want to try out a page builder?
Go to the MyMemories store here:  https://www.mymemories.com/store/designers/Albums_to_Remember 
and browse thru all the page builders that Barb with Albums to Remember has made-there are alot of choices!!
After you buy one and go thru the check out procedures, you will need to download the template into your MyMemories software.
Next, open your software and click on “create album from designer template”, scroll down to select the page builder number you just bought, and then “pick and click” to manually select and add photos to your album.
Then you can begin to personalize your page builder and add the pictures to create your page!
If you have any problems or questions, the MyMemories Facebook page or the Albums to Remember Facebook page are great places to get help and ask questions.
Enjoy and let me know if you like using you page builder.  

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.

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!
 

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.

3.  Fold card at indentations.
TIP: Using a bone folder will help you get crisp edges on your project.

4.  Repeat by folding down top flap.

5.  Staple ribbon to both sides of your card on the inside to look like a strap or handle.

6.  Enjoy the finished cards and share.  Don’t forget to use your imagination.  The possibilites are endless!
