Making A Photo Template From An Outside Template


An "outside" template is one designed to be used in Photo Shop or Paint Shop Pro. It contains .psd files. These cannot be used as actual templates in MyMemories but there are lots of ways you can still use them to make pages. If you see a free template with  design you like, grab it!
 
In this tutorial we're going to make a MMS photo template from the image provided in the template files. This template was provided free on Lindsay Jane's blog. Many of her Simple Set templates will work well for this method.

Here's the page I made. we stayed at the Annabelle Hotel in Paphos, Cyprus. It was just before we got our first digital camera, otherwise there would have been hundreds of photos!
