Installing Patterns in Photoshop and Photoshop Elements
Tutorial written in Adobe Photoshop CS5 and Photoshop Elements 10 on a Mac running OS X Lion
I often receive pleas for help with an action that does not want to work. Nine times out of ten, it’s because the Pattern set was not installed. Patterns are often included in ScrapSimple Action sets and need to be installed prior to running the action. Thankfully, it’s an easy process in both Photoshop (PS) and Photoshop Elements (PSE)!
Let me show you how! Go to your Edit menu, click on it, and then scroll down to the Preset Manager and select it.
In Photoshop Elements
In Photoshop
In the Preset Type box, hit the down arrow.
Scroll down and select Patterns.

Now hit the Load button on the right.

Next, navigate to the folder which has your patterns, select the patterns, and then hit Open. Now hit Done, and your patterns are ready to use!

April's Forum Game: BINGO!
Join us for an exciting game of Springtime BINGO on the Message Board Forum in April! Pick 25 words from the list provided in the forum game thread and send them in an email to [email protected] with a subject line that says "BINGO CARD - your Scrap Girls Message Board username" by Tuesday, April 3rd at Midnight MDT in order to play in the first round. The first round will begin on Wednesday, April 4th. If you miss the first round deadline, you can still play! Just send in your BINGO card at any time during the month, and you'll be eligible to begin playing when the next new round starts.
Each day, a member of the Welcoming Committee will call five random words from the BINGO list. Match just 15 of those words to win a BINGO. You must be first to call "BINGO!" in the game thread to win that round. After a winner is called, the boards will be cleared and a new round will begin the following day.
Each winner will receive a $5 Gift Certificate to the Scrap Girls Boutique! We like to see lots of winners, so please remember that each person can only win one round during the month. Have fun!
For complete details, visit the Monthly Message Board Games folder on the Scrap Girls Forum.

Two layouts will be selected to win a $10 Gift Certificate to the Scrap Girls Boutique!
