Heritage Makers is building a library of "how to" tutorials on how to use Studio. So far, the following videos have been uploaded to YouTube:
1) Create a free Heritage Makers account
2) Activating your Heritage Makers account
3) Starting a project with a template
4) Upload photos to your Studio account
5) NEW Understanding "layers" and "lock/unlock"
These are short, wonderful, and to the point! I hope you will take advantage of the HM YouTube Channel and explore all the wonderful ways HM allows us to create our customized projects! I love tutorials, :-)!

HM Magnet Canvas
A canvas doesn’t have to be just a canvas. You can easily turn it into another creation—a bulletin board or a magnet board.
Instructions for a bulletin board and magnet board are virtually the same. For our purposes (and because I like the idea of a magnet board better—no holes through the canvas), we are going to focus on a magnet board.
Items needed:
A Canvas print
A magnetic metal sheet 2 inches smaller than the canvas on all sides
Heavy-duty staple gun
Instructions:
1.Create a canvas, any size (I suggest the bigger sizes—not the 8×8 or the 8×20). Put any design and any photographs you want. Then publish and order it. Once your canvas arrives, you continue with the next steps.
2.Place the metal sheet behind the canvas. (You can get a metal sheet from a home improvement store—you may have to cut it down to size—or from a metal supply shop.
3.Staple the metal sheet into the canvas frame as you would a picture in a picture frame. You’ll want make sure the staples are close enough to the canvas to secure the metal sheet in place, but far enough away so you don’t puncture the canvas.
Once you’re finished, place the new magnet board on your wall. You now have a decorative and useful addition to your home. Enjoy!
