We had a good SIG in December and we worked on calendars using 7 1/4" X 5 1/2" pictures. By placing a picture on the back of the month, you have a month to show off your pictures. Showing off the pictures that you took with your digital camera or scanned in color or black and white. If you have never done this before, I can show you how easy it is. I suggested making a 2 year calendar and when finished you can have it bound at Office Depot or Staples. These are some of the projects I plan on doing this year because they can be done in all versions of Print Shop.
One member wanted to learn how to make mouse pads or T shirts with iron on transfers. Another asked how to do a photo collage, banners, business cards, note pad and many more projects. We are very lucky now because MPCUG bought a HP printer for the class room and I can show how to print out your projects. I am excited about this year we can have fun and make nice projects for family and friends.
Our December Print Shop Sig
We meet at the 26th Street West H2U the 4th Friday of the month, 10 AM till noon. Come see the fun we have.

The Beginning Digital Camera SIG is coming up again and what a better way
to spend a Friday morning. Last month we had a great turnout and we are
looking forward to seeing all of you again this month. We are going to review
what we talked about last month, plus add a bit more to it.
For those of you who are new to Digital Photography, you will love this
SIG. Where else can you go and only spend a dollar and have so much fun.
So won't you come and join us!
We meet on the second Friday of the month at 10AM.
Bring your camera, your manual and your questions.
We are looking forward to seeing you.

Mondays at the center we will be having mini classes on all sorts of interesting topics,
at 1:00 PM.
These mini classes will be on basic Windows operations and lots of round table discussions.
So be sure to mark your calendar for computer fun on Mondays and Fridays this season.
We now have two new Windows Vista computers for you to work with.
So join in the fun and learning..
If you don’t take advantage you are missing out on a lot of fun and social networking with
people that have the same interest in learning how to use their computers for enjoyment
with a little less frustration.
