How do I use your Fading Away text overlays?
These overlays only work in programs that can open layered PSD files and use layer masks.

To use open the Fading Away PSD you wish to use and double-click on the "T" in the layer menu. This is the text layer. All text should be highlighted. Delete the default text and change the font, color, and size to fit your preference. You can then type your own text onto the page. Once you are finished adding your text click enter or click the check mark to close the text editing. Make any changes to your font and text size that you wish at this time. Try different colors and blending modes for a new result every time!

At this time in order to fill the entire page you must copy and paste or continue typing. I am working on a script/action that will fill your text for you with your preferred font, size, and text.

How do I use your Middle Path text paths?
These text paths only work in programs that can open layered PSD files. (Photoshop and PSE)

To use open the Middle Path PSD you wish to use and double-click on the "T" in the layer menu. This is the text layer. All text should be highlighted. Delete the default text and change the font, color, and size to fit your preference. You can then type your own text onto the page. Once you are finished adding your text click enter or click the check mark to close the text editing. Make any changes to your font and text size that you wish at this time.

Can I use your products as CU4CU?
No. My products are currently NOT CU4CU.

You MAY use my products to create designs for websites, blogs, digital scrapbook kits, scrap4hire kits/projects, hybrid crafts that you sell, paper designs that you plan to sell (patterns may not be used for paper designs), and in some cases on templates you create (contact me for details regarding templates). In some cases I have created and allowed special case-by-case CU4CU licenses for designers. Please contact me with your specific need if it is not listed here.

Can I create commercial use products with your products?
No. Please see the above question about CU4CU.

Can I create freebies with your products?
Yes. You CANNOT give away my product as is though. For example, please do not give away an overlay without blending it into a paper or a ribbon without at minimum recoloring and resizing slightly. Make it your own, but once you do feel free to give it away as a freebie for s4h or personal use.

Can I use your products to create packaging for my store/designs?
Yes! Absolutely. Please feel free to use any of my products when creating store or designer packaging, blinkies, advertisements, etc.

Can I use your products for web site design?
Yes! This is an acceptable use of my CU products.

Can I use your products in my photography business?
Yes! This is also an acceptable use of my CU products.

Can I use a coupon on a grab bag collaboration or collaboration product?
No. At this time, unless otherwise specified coupons may not be used on products with other designers.

Why is my coupon code not working?
Please be sure that you are logged in.
Coupon codes are case sensitive and need to be typed exactly.
Coupon codes will not work on collaboration products with other designers.
Most coupons can only be used once per user.
If you have used this coupon before it will not work for you a second time.
If you have a problem with a coupon code please contact me and I will look at the issue for you.
