Definitely something Project Lifer's should check out. I recently started using their templates and could imagine not using their templates. I have been able to catch up on my journal cards. Hope this helps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-201911887118976374.post-16763192498164031752013-01-16T08:20:02.393-08:002013-01-16T08:20:02.393-08:00You are so welcome !!

Thank you so much! Now I can print on my beautiful Clementine cards without having to print the actual digital journaling cards.

I couldn't figure out how to do this using the template but I figured out a way to do it by "hiding" the card after journaling on it like you suggested and that seems to work for me. Thanks for all your help!

I am...Leslie - Don't worry about bothering me ! I am more than happy to help. I remember when I first got started with photoshop. I would sit for hours trying to figure things out, even just how to crop a photo, to move my text around and such. <br /><br />Let me try to help and understand. I might just do another tutorial so that you can see all the steps and so we can figure out where it is going wrong. <br /><br />So when you move your journaling card over to the printing template your text should still be on the journaling card layer, where you originally typed it in on your journaling card. Is it still there ? Or does it go with the journaling card ? It should have a blank background because you moved the journaling card over to the printing template. So at this point there should be two boxes open, one with your journaling and one that has the printing template and your journaling card on top. Then you will need to move your journaling over to the journaling card box.<br /><br />Or option two is easier. Open the printing template. Open your journaling card. Move the journaling card over to the printing template. And then type onto the journaling card. This way all the layers are separate. Then you can hide the extra layers you don't need. <br /><br />I hope this has helped some. If not please let me know. I can put another tutorial together for you. Take care.Mindihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14001942687477014570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-201911887118976374.post-72498516192210130402012-02-06T03:35:51.963-08:002012-02-06T03:35:51.963-08:00Thanks for all your help Mindi!

I tried it again and I think the problem is when I open the journal card and type my text, they <br />are two separate layers. When I open the 3X4 template, all those layers pop up (i.e "your text here, printing guide,ect). When I click on my journaling card to <br />place it on top of my 3X4 template then my "text" layer is gone. It's like it is considering my journaling card and text box as one image so when I hide my <br />journaling card, it takes the text with it. Does that make sense?? It's wierd. Something is happening when I "move" my journaling card with the typed text on to that template to make my "journaling layer" disappear. Thanks again for all your help. Maybe I need to take a PSE class!! :-) <br />LeslieLWasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04184302039538919273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-201911887118976374.post-8235459739040458742012-02-04T08:28:37.986-08:002012-02-04T08:28:37.986-08:00LWase - I'm so sorry that you are having probl...LWase - I'm so sorry that you are having problems. We will get to the bottom of this. A few suggestions first. Instead of deleting the layers try hiding them. Click on the eye that is just left of the layer. That way they will disappear instead of delete. Also if you are still having the same problem with your text deleting check and see if the text layer is hidden or not, after you hide the other layers. Let me know if that solves it or not. Otherwise we can investigate further.Mindihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14001942687477014570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-201911887118976374.post-46626152210512259142012-02-04T06:02:57.639-08:002012-02-04T06:02:57.639-08:00Hi Mindi!

I know I am just missing something completely simple but I am following all the steps. I first open the template from paislee press, then my digital journaling card, then I add my text box and type my text. The problem comes when I go to delete the layers. I delete the "your text here" layer, the "print guide layer" and when I delete the journaling card layer it deletes my text with it so all that's left on my screen is a blank page. Any suggestions? Thanks so much! I am determined to figure this out! :-)<br />LeslieLWasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04184302039538919273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-201911887118976374.post-45400689971486106222011-12-09T13:26:13.354-08:002011-12-09T13:26:13.354-08:00Antonymous - Let me set up a short tutorial for yo...Antonymous - Let me set up a short tutorial for you.

To change the color on the circle element in the tutorial simply click on the eyedropper tool on the left side in photoshop. Put it over the color you want to change it to and click. That will change the color, you should be able to see the color in the color box located at the bottom of the tools menu. Then simply click on the colored part of the circle and click. It will change the color and I think you will have to click on all of the red parts of the circle and change them to green.
