Hi everyone! :) Glad to have you all back here for Tip Tuesday... last week was crazy with the site down, so I'm sorry we missed a week, but we are all back on track now! :)

First, I have to say that I'm starting to get a little confused about what tips I've shared with you and what ones I haven't yet shared... so if I duplicate, you'll have to forgive me.

OK - Lets review something that I hope is a duplicate tip! :) It's about the Hand Tool. If you double click on the hand tool icon, the layout you are working on will appear on your screen the largest that it can be displayed will still seeing all areas of your layout. So you can see "the whole picture"... in it's entirety. This is a valuable tip for when you are zoomed in close and you need to go back and look at the entire layout again. (Ok - that was the tip I'm pretty sure we've already discussed, but if not, it's a bonus... lol!)

Now, lets talk about the zoom tool. If you double click on the zoom tool - you will be able to instantly view your layout at 100% (or actual pixel size). That is a great tool for using when you open up your papers and you want to know what they "really" look like up close and things before you use them.

Hope that helps you out in your scrapbooking this week! :)
