UPDATE EVERY ONE!!

So I have decided to put writing tuts on hold for awhile. Spending as much time on the computer as I have been between my tut site and my tagger site is causing some conflict at home and being a mommy to 3 children is making it difficult since 2 of my children are both in 3 different activities. I am constantly running. Although I love writing tuts it has become super difficult to keep up with it all. But I love tagging and making layouts so I have decided for the time being I am going to continue making tags and layouts so if there are any of you designers out that would love to keep on your CT Team as a tag maker or layout artist I would love too still! I would love continuing to make some awesome creations with your kits. Please let me know!!! I plan on writing tuts again once my life isnt as hectic at home and I have more time to do it.

Again, if you do not want to keep on your CT Team, I understand but please know I appreciate being a part of your team and hopefully one day soon I can join it again!!!

Thanks again,
Kali

44 Once you have decided select all frames of the tube you want showing last and hit copy.
45 Go to the 1st tube you want showing and click on the very last frame.
