I finally finished both my first and second album and was so excited to share them with you. Over the weekend I was showing a few customer friends Stampin' Up!'s new My Digital Studio program and how easy it is to work with and we started a sample project. When I went back to the computer later I deleted what I thought was the sample project and today decided to learn how to export my album to put on my blog. When I went to open my first album it was not there I just had the sample project I thought I had deleted.
I wanted to cry, I tried to find in on my computer and it was not there, I called SU! for help and found out that once you delete it from the program it is gone. I really wanted to cry and so I did what any wife would do I went in and whined to my husband and he calmed me down and said, " let me have a look and make a phone call and see what we can do." He called my efolder man John Mitchel and he helped me restore my project. I really wanted to cry then.
For those of you who don't know what efolder is: a several years ago I lost my computer and all my digital photos, I had been backing them up on cd's for the most part but of course not as faithfully as I wished I had been when I lost the hard drive in my computer. I also lost all of my patterns, ideas and business handouts I had created over the years. We called a service to try and recover the data off the disk and they wanted thousands to try and restore
all my data. I was talking to John Mitchel and John Williams two computer guys I know from church and they helped us restore my data and so they never had to do it again they introduced me to efolder a service that backs up all my programs on my computer on a regular basis, all my photos, all my documents and even all my customer lists and today that back up paid off because John was able to restore that program that I deleted and you get to view my first album.
I really like this new program and those of you who know me know that I am not a computer person, but I can do this.
It was not hard at all and the pages that SU! has designed in the kits are beautiful. I also like how I can use their layout or change it to fit my pictures either by changing colors or images or I can start from scratch and create my page one item or image at a time. I know this will never replace scrap booking for me because I love paper and ink and embellishments but it will be great to make these books as gifts or use the hybrid method and add 3-d images to the pages. I can't wait to share more ideas with you soon.
