    Quick Tip #16 Unzipping in Vista

    I found it to be a hassle when I had to click through too many folders after unzipping. I did not understand why there were so many extra folders! I hope this helps some of you who may be having the same problem. I am not sure I described it well enough, but I hope you are able to understand and that it helps you.

      I have used definitions occasionally in paper layouts. I think they are often a really good idea but find that I often think of this idea too late!
      Will try and use them more in the future though Hummie.

      I think I have only used them when requested in a challenge, but I really should use them more. They add so much to a layout!

      I LOVE this one that I found in the gallery!! I even learned something from the definition----NEVER eat this fish!!!!!

      I haven't really used definitions in my layouts, but love them when I see them in other layouts. Here's one that auddymay did that I love:

      I just did one in May in the gallery, although the definition was very brief, but I gave the definition for the name Hibiscus. It was for the creating a color swatch from a photo lesson #61 in Course 2. On a side note, I will definitely try to do this more often in my layouts.

      oh blimey, this makes me squirm a bit LOL It's something that was VERY popular in paper scrapping back soon after I started with that c7 yrs ago!! I bought sheets and sheets of the things, ('Making Memories' ones of course!!) and I really did try to use them on pages, honest! but when I sorted through my paper stash earlier this year and got rid of a shedload of stuff ready for moving, there they all were still, LOL Even my DDs didn't want them for their paper stash collections!!!

      So i don't think I've ever used a definition on a digi page - unless it's more like auddymay's above, and more like a quote than a definition!

      I'm thinking more about the ones I used to have that were definitions of 'love', 'happiness'...kinda twee stuff...

      SORRY!!!! That prob wasn't what you wanted to hear!!

      If I do see any good ones though I'll link you up!!!

      I have used proverbs and sayings in LO's but not definitions. I'm kind of stuck on the 3rd set of Themed Thursday challenges and might have to find some unknown definitions of the words just to be able to get them done! I love Rhonda's and Auddymay's LO's above. If I find any I'll be sure to upload them.

      I actually like them. I see a lot sort of in the background that are neat but I also love them printed right in front. I just need to print more and use them.

      I love pages with definitions but tend to forget to use them! Great reminder, Hummie and it does go well w/Themed Thursday LO's.

      I've used quite a few quotations, but never a definition. It's a great idea, though, and looking back, it could have helped me on a few layouts. A great place for quotations, and some funny definitions is http://www.quotegarden.com/

      I have used definitions in my layouts, but it's not something that pops into my head when I'm stuck on journaling. I've even searched the web, trying to figure out how to get those little symbols so I can include them - like a definition from the dictionary. I've seen them in layouts that way, but haven't figured it out. I also have a folder on my computer with some definitions to use in layouts.
