how to view PNG and other formats on Picasa

A very good question came from Wendy: I use Picasa too, but I noticed you are able to have the elements on yours...all I ever get is the papers.

To view other formats (such as PNG files) go to Tools, then Options. This box will appear:

 

(click picture to view larger)

 Check all formats that you would like to view in Picasa and those will begin to appear. It's like magic!

Another important tip, Picasa will initially only scan all of your picture files once. To have it continue to scan folders that you will put additional kits or pictures in, follow these steps.

(click picture to view larger)

By choosing Add Folder, you will then be given to option to

Scan Once

Remove from Picasa

Scan Always (I select this for all folders that I add to over and over).

Good luck and thanks for the comments.

creative sparks - new templates at little dreamer designs

Designer, Tiffany Tillman, found her own creativity sparked by layouts made by the Little Dreamer Design team. She translated those sparks into templates based on the original designs of members of our Creative Team. Twice per month, new "sparks" will be released with plenty of inspiration to accompany them.

Introducing Creative Sparks #1, inspired by Sue Isaacson.

And here are the amazing layouts that inspired these templates.

 

 Please share your take on these sparks in our online gallery. Purchase templates in our Shoppe.

Dreamer Showcase - July 2

Hi everyone, Suzy here again with another LDD Dreamer Showcase. I hope everyone is enjoying their summer if they are in the northern hemisphere, and those of us down south, I hope the winter isn't being to cruel to you. Although the weather where I am hasn't been too bad, it has allowed me more time inside, which in turn means more time on the computer - lol!!!!

The layouts over the past 2 weeks have been fabulous, and again, I had a very hard time chosing this weeks winner of the gift certificate to the LDD store.

The winner this week is Bibime with her layout Cutie Pie, featuring designs by Julia Makotinsky.

I just love the sweet photo and the incredible use of space and colour. This is such a beautiful layout.

Thank you Bibime for sharing your layout. You will be receiving a private message from me in the next few days with your gift certificate code - have fun with it.

For your chance to win next time, just post your layouts (or projects) featuring more than 90% LDD products in the gallery here at LDD - it is that easy.

Happy scrapping everyone, and see you again in 2 weeks.

Suzy

An Eye on Design

It's time to look at another gorgeous page and the winner of "An Eye on Design" for the past couple of weeks!

This page was completed for our Blog Color Challenge and what really struck me is how Leenie keeps your focus and attention on her daughter.  She has taken one photo and changed it over and over, burning it into the background and arranging groups of smaller photos around the two main pictures.  What an amazing job!  Take a look for yourself. . .
