time savers for making products!

I wanted to drop in and share a couple of little things that make creating products a little quicker! Since I spend a lot of time making things, they are certainly time-savers!

First off, quit using whatever program you are using unless it's PowerPoint!

one is when you are making multiple pages that are similar {not even necessarily the exact same} use "duplicate current slide"!

see, here I am making cards for a game. All I need to change are the numbers, so duplicate and wa-la!

next, use that cursor to select multiple items at once. This is great to move over a column of images or move text out of the way for a minute!

and lastly, there's about nothing I hate more {other than wacky stretched out clipart!} than things that are not aligned! 

see those light blue lines? they tell me that the image is lined up with the image above it. I couldn't get a good screen shot of horizontal aligning, but it's the same! I think the tech term for this is dynamic guides...

You can also turn on the grid lines! 

I'll be sharing a few more things tomorrow! So go and check out our linky over at Blog Hoppin' for more time savers!
