Creating a calendar:

You have several options:

• Create your own tops and bottoms (use the calendar tool in MMS for bottoms)
• Purchase a pre-made calendar with tops and bottoms (simply add your photos and any journalling you want on the calendar bottom). These are available as calendar templates in the store. Here are some of the ones I have done over the years. You can also search under the calendar section in the store to see all options (here)
• Purchase just the tops and create your bottoms in the program.

Here is a 2017 calendar I have available in the store, have another releasing early next week. I created a few extra pages in case people don't celebrate certain holidays. The extra pages are at the end of the template (pages 25,26,27,28). You can also choose one of these extra pages as your title page for the calendar and drag it to the front for use. Extra pages can be seen on the store site (here).

With this type of calendar you would open your program and import it as a template. Everything is set up for you with photo boxes already in place. If you would like to view a tutorial on how to use templates in MMS you can view one on my blog here:

How To Open Your Photobooks & Templates in My Memories Suite

To Print From Program:

• Finish your calendar and save your project. Make sure you add a title page to your calendar. If you do not have one your calendar will be out of order.You must have 25 pages.
• Choose Share/Calendar from the menu in My Memories Suite Software.
• Choose the Preview button to view your calendar to make sure it looks the way you want it to look and the pages are in the correct order.
• Once you are happy choose upload.
• Allow product to upload. Once loaded you will be able to preview, order and share your project.

Hope this helps. If you have any questions please email me at albumstoremember @gmail.com

It took me about 6 attempts to record this and I didn't want to attempt a 7th so this is as good as it will get. :) Video 1 shows you the new interface and some of the new features you can play around with, video 2 shows you what is new in the photo, shape and imprint tool boxes. Not sure I covered everything but I tried to go through the list they mentioned on their website to give you a run down of what is new.

If you want to see what is new in the journal tool box and how to add photos to embellishments please see my tutorials below these ones.

In anticipation that we would be able to add paper to PNG shapes I created 5 sets for the software. I tested them this morning and they work! YEAH!!

Check out the new shape sets in my store here. Please note you will bring the Shape It PNG set in by pressing "insert" and choosing "template", scroll through the list and choose Shape It PNG 01" and choose the pages you want to insert.

Tired of doing searches and having to go through page after page of products? Did you know you can do custom product searches in the My Memories Suite store? You can see what products your favorite designer has in specific categories. This tutorial will show you how to narrow down what comes up in your search for products at the My Memories Suite store.

Step One: Go to the My Memories Suite store and click on the "Advanced Search" button at the top of the store page. (See image below).

Step Two: A list of 3 categories will come up. You will see Type, Category, and Designer. This is where you get specific.

Type: This menu allows you to choose what type of product you are looking for. If you are looking for template choose "All Templates" if you want to be more specific and you only want to see the photobook templates you can choose "Photobook Templates" and only the template sets that fall into that category will show up.

Category: This menu allows you to choose the theme you are looking for. Click on the arrow and it will show you several themes such as boys, girls, holidays, everyday, seasons, weddings, etc. Choose your theme.

Designer: This allows you to narrow it down to your favorite designer. Have a designer you love to purchase from and want to see if they offer anything in the category you are looking for. Choose them from the menu and you are set to go!

Here is an example of a customer search for Album Templates with a boy theme by Albums to Remember Designs. Once I have all my menu items for my search chosen I press the green search button and check out everything that shows up. It's that easy! Have fun searching.

The results - only album templates with a boy them by Albums to Remember Designs!
