Tip: With the Frames tab selected, you can import an image, which the program will automatically make into a frame.

You can also create artwork or text in another program,

 

copy it, and pasting the item into your workspace.

Note that your custom items are not automatically saved in

 

a theme or project. If you select another theme or project,

 

the thumbnails disappear from the tab but don’t worry: the

 

files remain on your computer. You can browse to the folder

 

and select it to display the items again.

 

If you want to keep the items handy for later use, you can

 

save each item to a theme (see “Working with Themes and

 

Projects” on page 18) or to a project. You can save an item

 

before (as a thumbnail) or after placing it in your workspace.

 

Advanced file importing

 

If you are comfortable working with folders and files on

 

your computer, you can move your custom items into one of

 

the tabs in a theme or project you choose. Use the file path

 

for your operating system:

 

For Windows:

 

Program Files/HP/HP Creative Scrapbook Assistant/{choose

 

Theme or Project}/{name of theme or project}/{tab name}

 

For Macintosh:

 

Library/Application Support/hp/scrapbook kit/{choose

 

Theme or Project}/{name of theme or project}/{tab name}

 

Note: Items saved or stored in themes and projects take up

 

disk space. It’s a good idea to store items on CD-ROMs or

 

external hard disks to avoid filling up your main computer

 

storage device.
