Adding Text To Overlays + Long Journalers In Elements And Word | Video Tutorials

Love all the new stuff Ali!

Love that "sister" word art. Being a mom of a girl and boy just like you - it's almost impossible to find anything specific to that sibling set. Do you think you could come up with some brother/sister word art for us *extra blessed mama's* ?? :D

Thanks, for taking the time to do the video tutorials, I find them extremely useful :)
Great new stuff too.

Beautiful new products and a great, helpful video. I thought I needed to be a Photoshop genius to use all these lovely things, but you've made it look so straightforward! Thank you!

Ali, I'm curious how you are designing the papers? Hand drawing? Computer graphics? Probably a mix, as I think while typing this. I guess it doesn't really matter because they are gorgeous no matter how they are made! Sorta wish I was a digital person after seeing these. . .

Wow, Ali, great new products. Love the tags and the outdoor words!

Ali~ I just got some of your new stuff! Thank you...love it! I was wondering what font you use so that I can coordinate some digital writing on photos & such?

Thanks!

I've found your video tutorials so helpful in learning how to use your wonder digital art from DD. I'm new to digital scrapbooking, but little by little I'm getting it. I can't tell you how many times I've replayed the same video over and over just to finally "get it." Thanks for much.

just got the 6x4 journalers - LOVE being able to print them right off & use them in project life. thanks, Ali!

Also, i've been meaning to tell you about an app i know you would love - pocketbooth. do you already have it? a photo booth right on your phone! love it and use it all the time - my kiddos actually cooperate for those photos, excitedly waiting on the strip to drop down into the slot. :) I've printed several and they look great. You may already know about it, but in case you didn't, had to let ya know!

Ali you are great a making things seem easy. A printer question, I received a B8550 for Christmas, and I use PSE8. When printing, I have to go in and use advance settings everytime, this seems so time consuming. Am I missing something?
Then when changing paper trays it is NOT automatic, I have tried to keep the paper trays ready with the desired photo paper, however even when I specify the photo tray with say 4X6 photo paper, I have to make sure the main tray is empty, because the printer will try to draw the 8.5x11 and then aborts because paper is the wrong size.
The other thing I seem to encounter is the change in dpi. Sometimes I just want a simple 300 or 600dpi to conserve ink, but again I am back through all the advanced settings prompts to get there.
I have attempted to work through this on my own, but become frustrated and could use some help. I am certain it is a simple operator error. I hope it was ok to ask it here. I want to use all my new pngs on my photos.
Thanks for any help. Jill Broyles

What is the best program to get for doing the digital things you do? Or what's the minimum you need? I have always loved them and never took the time and just used what I have. I'm a PC person.
Long story short, we had a fire in our house, everyone is safe and fine, but I lost all (other than most pictures) my scrapbooking stuff. But it gives me the chance to reevaluate what I love best about scrapbooking and change directions (some hybrid) as well.

Thank you for your tutorials. They're really easy to understand. I've finally started some digital scrapbooking thanks to you! I love your simple clean designs as well.

Thanks for the tutorials, Ali. Do you have any tips on how to convert your 8.5x11 The Story of Today journalers (which I have purchased previously) to 4x6 ? And how to convert your 4x6 Story Overlays above (which I'm going to get on sale!) to 8.5x11? I find that I'm always wanting to use the various digi templates slightly different from how they are set up depending on my mood and layout needs.

Thanks so much for the vids! Love the new goodies!

I am new to the concept of digital scrapbooking. I looked for local photo shops that would print in a 12 by 12 format and none offer it. How do I find a printer to work with? I would like to try some of this but it doesn't do any good if I can't get things printed at a reasonable price. Thanks so much.

Oh my goodness! I can't wait to work with all these new goodies! I love them! Thanks Ali! ~Jen

Thank you so much for sharing!
I was quite surprised to hear a total different voice then the one I remembered when we met (about 3 times in the NL). What happened?

Thank you Ali for taking the time to make a video tutorial about how to use you overlays in word. I love to be able to include more journaling in the Project Life album.
