DigiKnow how to use mats to enhance your pages? They are simple and easy to add, and make your pages pop. Check out this quick tutorial:

1. Start by inserting a photo on your page.

2. Select the photo and click "Mat" from the Edit Photo menu on the
sidebar. The mat menu will appear in the middle of the screen. You can adjust the size of the mat by sliding the arrow on the size bar. The mat can be as thin or thick as you desire.

3. To change the color of the mat simply click the "Mat Color" box on the menu.

4. Our favorite way to select a color is to choose "Picker" from the top of the color menu. This option allows you match the mat color perfectly to your page.

5. In just a few clicks, your photo is perfectly matted. You can also easily add mats to any shape added to the page.

6. The finished product! Look how the mats added to the photo and shapes enhance the page. Give mats a try on your next MemoryMixer project.

To create this look she says, "I copied the original picture so I had one on top of the other, then I made the bottom one sepia and lowered the opacity of the one on top. The result is a sepia tone picture with a bit of color." Great job!!

Welcome Karen Lewis!

We are so excited to announce the addition of Karen Lewis to our 
design team!  Her designs are bright, fun, and full of life.  We are
sure that they will be perfect for your pages.
Here is a little about Karen:
Since a young age I've always
been interested in arts & crafts 
and over the years I've dabbled
with sewing, quilting, embroidery, 
cross-stitch, cardmaking and 
then finally settled on 
scrapbooking.  
My need to know "how is that 
done" and the curiousity to 
discover if I could do it lead me 
to take up Digital Scrapbook 
designing in December 2006. 
I was instantly hooked and now I'm 
lucky enough to say that I have a 
job doing what I love.When I'm not busy designing I'm spending time 
with my husband Brad and our gorgeous daughter Caitlyn.
