Sidebar Feature in MMS V2 adds Convenient Access to Elements!

A great new feature of MMS V2 is the great sidebar Resource Gallery.  Located on the left-hand side of the screen, you can quickly find photos, embellishments, shapes, photo layouts and papers.  You can also select a variety of predesigned wordarts to your layouts from this gallery.

The photos section of the resource gallery can link to any folder on your computer, which adds ease and speed to locating the perfect picture for your page. The Embellishment option of the resource gallery conveniently displays embellishments in folders.  Change from folder to folder without any delays.  Drag and drop your embellishments to your layout with ease to create the perfect layout.

The Shapes option lets you quickly select the perfect shape to compliment your layout.  Edit your shape and add a paper for pizzazz using the shape menu on the right hand side of the screen.  You can also add shapes made from your favorite papers using the paper option on the resource gallery.  Just click the box that says “Add a Shape Object” to choose the background and shape you want in one click.

The Photo Layout option lets you easily place photos on your page.  You can choose photo layouts with multiple photos and fill in the photo boxes with papers to create a different look when using the same photo layout on multiple pages in the same album.

The Background Papers option lets you easily select backgrounds for you page layouts and also lets you easily add shapes made with your favorite papers.  Consider using the square-rectangle shape to make ribbons from your favorite papers.

The WordArt option provides a variety of premade wordarts using features from the wordart menu.  This helps speed up the wordart feature by letting you select a format that will best fit your layout without having to go through each option of the wordart menu.

You can make your memories into a suite album in no time at all!!

So make every day a SUITE day!

V2 Feature Highlight!

ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM!!!

There is so much cool new stuff in the Version 2 of MMS that I want to make sure that you get the most of it! This edition will give the spotlight to the new ZOOM tool feature! This new feature is a wonderful tool that makes it incredibly easy to get up close and personal with all the little details that make your pages spring to life! Whether you are trying to line up embellishments just right (we’ll talk more about another new feature that makes this a snap in another edition) or just trying to get the journaling placed just right – the ZOOM tool makes it quick and easy! Open your project album page and find something you want to see closer. Look at the bottom right hand corner of your workspace screen. Under the right hand side Control Panel you will find the handy new ZOOM tool! You can zoom in to get a close up on the details on your page or zoom out to be able to see the whole page on one screen. This is especially helpful if you are working on a small computer screen that makes seeing the whole page full size difficult. There is a little plus and minus sign where you can adjust the zoom and get just the right look for your work space. This is a wonderful addition to the great feature list from Version 1 – it really allows you to get up close and personal with your work. When you need to take a closer peek, the ZOOM tool makes that possible!

So, pull up your next project page and give it a try! I am including a screen shot from one of my projects so you can see what it looks like. The page is from the great kit by StoryRock called “Boys Are” – this is a great kit for lots of special pages – whether you have boys or not! Remember that every Designer Template in the My Memories Suite Design Shop comes with several predesigned pages that are ready to go, but EVERY single element on the page is completely under your control. You can duplicate, rearrange, and eliminate every single photo box or embellishment on every page. Each template kit also includes all the background papers used and embellishments used in that kit. These will be added to your library and available in any album project you do! So, check it out and see what you think! Remember you can always find help on our Facebook page if you get stuck – or if you Twitter, you can follow us at Tweets4Suites!
