Template HELP

[Nonnie917]

Could someone please send me some "easy to understand" directions on how to use templates. I bought some and got some as freebies and nowhere are there directions on how to use them. Because I am so simple I need simple instructions. Can ANYONE help me? Thanks ladies. (Signed: One Frustrated Scrapper) :embaresse

Open your template
open the paper you want to add to it
copy the paper onto the template, make sure it is on the layer above the template layer you want it to cover, make sure you have the paper layer selected (not the marching ants, just selected in the layer menu)
Hit either CNTRL G or CNTRL ALT G to create a clipping mask
The clipping mask attaches itself to the layer below so that all transparent areas stay transparent and any pixels (shapes, etc) are now "covered" by your paper layer

I hope that's what you meant?
