Using Outside Content in Memory Mixer
You can use any scrapbooking products from any store in Memory Mixer. You can even use templates/quickmixes designed for similar programs. This means you can take advantage of the many freebies we find on Digi Scrapping Freebies! Basically if you haven't bought it from the Memory Mixer store and installed it in the program it's called "outside content".
The only things that don't work in Memory Mixer are photo masks and templates designed for Photo Shop (.psd files) but we do have ideas for making use of those templates in another tutorial.
Follow these steps to use outside content:
Open a new "from scratch " album. Select the backgrounds menu and choose Custom
