Tecki Tuesday

Tuesdays are awesome here in Dayton, MN.  Tuesdays mean its time to go back to school...Digital Scrapbooking school that is!  Let's talk about that and what it means.  First of all, you already have a computer or access to one and that is the first step.  If you can email, then this will work for you too.

Let's back up for a minute...and find out if this is something you think would help you.

Imagine...you are talking to a friend and the discussion leads to a recent event like a wedding, birth or vacation comes up.  The friend asks " do you have any pictures, I would love to see them".  Which one of these statements describes your reaction...

1.  I do, but I am not sure where they are.
2.  Here, take a look...as you show them your digital camera and scroll through the perfect shots you took, sharing them on a 2" screen.
3.  They are on the computer, but I cant find them.

The question to ask yourself is " why do I bother to take photos if I cannot enjoy and share them"?

Back to Tecki Tuesday.  The main idea was to have a regular day assigned where we could all gather, have a Tecki Tip, work on our photos and projects and just enjoy a nice night out.  What has it developed into?  All of those, plus more!  I believe in the regularity of our Tecki Tuesdays...as some weeks you just cant make it and that is ok too.  Just think, if you can make it one night a month you have 12 nights of working on your projects.  Isnt that better than none at all?

Ok, what do you need? 

1. A computer.  It is much easier with a laptop computer, thats for sure. But if you dont, why not come and find out what we are doing and when you go home you have a new lesson, questions answered and are ready to work on your own home computer. 

2.  Creative Memories makes two programs for your photos.  Memory Manager ($39.95) sorts, organizes and edits your photos.  Storybook Creator software for PC or SBC Studio software for MAC (each $64.95) is where you create your projects.   Projects range from 4x6 photos, to mugs and t-shirts.  If you can come up with an idea, we can find a way in your own software to make it happen. 



3.  A will for a better way with your photos.  This is not for everyone...it is for people that would like to celebrate their memories.  If you love photos, why not give it a try and see how sweet it is when you can actually find and share them?  It is possible, and yes even for the non-tecki like me.




Tecki Tuesdays always FREE, and are every Tuesday from 7-10 pm. 
Come when you can, and leave a little Teckier.
