How to save content from SBC3.0

First, go to content manager and Create a new art kit

Name your kit something meaningful.  I like to put "CM" before all my kits so they'll be in the same area of my content in Finder/Windows Explorer

See.  Now your new kit is there.  Now let's export some content.

I usually insert all the pieces of a kit at once and then save them and delete them as I go.  For the purposes of this tutorial, I'm just going to show you one piece, which I'll save as a *.png.

Now I right click on the element and select "Save as Content".  If you do "Save Selection" you can save it as a *.png file, but it will have a white background.  Doing it as "Save as content" should give you the transparent background you need for scrapping.

A copyright notice will pop up.  Please use these kits for yourself only.  HTSOM does not support piracy.  Select "OK".

1) Select the folder you just make to save your element in.  2) Save it as an embellishment 3) Name your element.  Here, I've called it the same thing CM calls it, but you might want to call it CM Discover Buds or something so that if it gets separated from its file, you still know where it belongs. 4) Save it as a png file and 5) ensure the highest quality is used.

Now, in Windows Explorer, you can navigate to the folder you created and get your pieces to the kit and use them in whichever scrapbooking program you want.

Thanks to all that said such nice things about How To Scrap on Mac.  It's been a great journey and I'm so glad to have a nice group of women (and maybe a man from time to time) to talk about digi scrapping with, share our successes, commiserate on issues, and learn together.

1000 fans giveaway!

Who would have imagined when Jessica made How to Scrap on Mac that thirteen months later we'd have 1000 followers.  I'm just incredibly proud and excited that we have a place where we can discuss sbcStudio and now are branching into other scrapping platforms on our Macs.  But most of all, I'm enjoying watching everyone create and preserve those memories, however you manage to get it done!!  I've enjoyed getting to know some great women over this time and look forward to watching How to Scrap on Mac morph and grow as time goes on.

Persnickety Prints has been kind enough to give us 25 Free 12x12 prints (a $49.75 value) to one of our lucky members.  Write a post to this blog and I'll use randomizer to pick a lucky winner.  The contest will end at 11:59 Central Time Sunday February 12th.  One post per person, please.

Getting Started

Many of you likely follow us on fb, thanks first and foremost for being faithful followers!  We are just a group of women, that love to scrap!  We too are learning the ins and outs, ups and downs of our favorite program, while figuring out work arounds, techniques, tips and tricks to help ourselves (and all of you) in the process.  Let's all work together to learn as much as we can, and make a difference in the life of another.

After all, it is about preserving the memories, not the struggle to get there, so let's work to make this a fun and relatively painless process.
