Freebie Friday with My Memories! (on Sunday)

Today we have a great freebie for you!!  Doorknob Hangers!

What kid doesn't want a cool doorknob hanger to put on their door.  And there are even a few that the adults can use!

All of our Friday Freebies will now be MyMemories Suite Compatible. What does that mean??? It means that you can now load the freebies directly into your MyMemories Suite Software, and then completely customize them with any paper and embellishments that you have. If you don't have the software, you can still download the sample project and the elements, but you will not be able to customize your project.

Don't have My Memories Suite??  You can purchase it HERE
USE code STMMMS57311 for $10 off of software and $10 off of store purchases

Using MyMemories Software to Customize your Doorknob Hanger
  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 add pictures, 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!

TIP: To make your doorknob hanger last longer, it is best to laminate your project.  Clear contact paper makes great Do-It-Yourself lamination.
