Windows Snipping Tool - Replaces "print screen"


Have you seen the new "Snipping Tool" in Windows 10?  It's REALLY handy.  Now instead of hitting the print screen button, opening a graphics program, pasting the image, then cropping it and saving it, this tool does it all in a few less clicks.



It's found under Windows Accessories in your start menu.  I dragged it to the right and created a new tile for it, as you can see above.  You could also drag it down as a short cut in the bottom toolbar.


To use it, click on the app, and a little tiny box pops up.  Select the part of the screen you want to crop, then name your save.

That's it.  SUPER quick.

There's a more in depth tutorial here -

The Best Fonts For Flourishes in Design Space -

Image
Cliff Notes: Similar to "fonts with tails" (easy glyphs), like in the  I Love Glitter font, but these fonts are ALL glyphs.  (See fonts with tails cheat sheet here) Don't install them all!  Use fontlab pad and open what you want to use right from the zipfile.  Less clutter! Lists of pretties, arrows, and frames, below, with a short list of free sites with svg files for flourishes at the bottom. All the fonts listed below are free, and found on Dafont. Fonts are my favorites for lines! You can just install the font to your computer, then in design space find the font under "system fonts".  Now type the letter, or number,  from the fonts chart to get the corresponding line. I suggest you do NOT do that though.  If you install all of these fonts, they are really going to clutter up your font list.  Instead, create a folder named "Flourishes".  Save the zip files for each of these fonts in that folder.  ALSO, on the page for each font, ...

Those paper flowers are from Design Space I'm fairly certain, but I also have a LONG list of templates and tutorials for paper flowers here -  htt...

The Who, What, When, Where, and How of Cloud Storage

Image
WHO has the best free cloud storage? My favorites are: Dropbox , Google Drive , Box , & Google Photos .   I personally find one drive and the amazon cloud annoying - but they are also good options All of these offer programs for on your computer, your phone, and web based access.  All of them offer free storage, and all of them make sharing your files, or keeping them private, easy. WHAT to store in Cloud Storage No storage is fool proof.  I keep an external hard drive, and various cloud storage, and I try to keep things backed up both places.  Both can fail - external hard drives can go back, clouds can go out of business (Copy was a favorite of mine that no longer exists.. but I had plenty of time to get my files out before they closed) Genealogy - folders for each family surname, with subfolders for family members, containg documents and photos and everything related to genealogy research! Documents - The Christmas card list, pets vet records, the kids high...
