Every year I say this, and every year I accomplish some of what I set out to do, but this year it is going to be something I focus on: getting scrapbook pages done and into albums so that my family can enjoy them. Looking back on the past year, I really did get a good amount done. That being sai...

Love this little tutorial...wish we were neighbors so I could pick your brain and learn all these cool tricks...I am such a newbie with digital.
Here's a totally non-related question...when I see digital tutorials, I see people have a window on the bottom of the PSE with all their patterned papers to choose from...can you do this in PS CS2 as well? How?
I have to be honest that I often refrain from buying paper kits simply because I don't know how to do this and I don't know how to access all my patterned papers.
