Adding My Memories Templates to Memory Mixer

My Memories and Memory Mixer use the same base software so the MMS templates and Memory Mixer quickmixes work in the same way and will work with either program. However, they're designed to install into their own program so you will need to tell it where to install if you want it in the other one. I prefer Memory Mixer for quickmixes since it's easy to add photos and move embellishments without having to move things out of the way. These instructions also apply to adding Memory Mixer templates into My Memories.

CLOSE Memory Mixer if you have it open. Find the downloaded template on your computer and double click on it.

As you can see, the installation process defaults to My Memories (just as it will default to Memory Mixer if you are installing a MM template into MMS) so click on Browse:

Find where the Memory Mixer program is installed on your computer (probably your C Drive) and click on it once. It will appear in the Folder Name box. Click on Select.

IMPORTANT BIT! Once again it will default to My Memories. Click on Memory Mixer instead and click Next.

The template will be installed into Memory Mixer where it will appear in your Quickmixes. If you had Memory Mixer open while you were doing this you will need to restart the program in order for it to show up..
