Cute Backgrounds

[areese]

Hi,

I am new to ActivStudio and loving every minute of it. I have downloaded many flipcharts and they all have extremely cute backgrounds (almost like scrapbooking paper, torn, inked, etc.). Does anyone know how I get these? Is there somewhere I can download them or do I have to create them myself?

Thanks! :)

I'm not sure of the particular flipcharts. There are tons of resource packs with backgrounds in them however. If you do a search in resource packs for the word "backgrounds" you should see several of them.

Examples are:

Also if the flipchart you downloaded has a background you like, you can put that background in your My Resources/My Backgrounds to use yourself.

Just open your Resource Library and that particular folder. Right click on the page and I think it should give you an option to Add to Resource Library>Background.

Sometimes, to make my own background, I just enlarge a picture, lock it on the background, and even use the translucency slider to soften it up. My students DIG the backgrounds - huge variety in the Resource Library.
