The steps I follow to use the HugClub monthly content
Webstuff Stationary images, using my software program 
Microsoft PictureIt Photo 2002
Please note:
**After I download the PCCrafter webstuff content each month, which is downloaded to my C:/PC Hugware folder, I click on each months file and install, it's default place to install is to another folder which is named and located on my 
C drive >> C:/ pchugclub, then I open the "stationary folder" and the "ebanners" folders and select all the images and move them (or you can copy them) and I move (drag and drop the selected images) them to just a folder I created for just these particular images I named it  "hugclubwebpics". 
If you prefer to install these images to other folders or locations
on your computer, it is important to know and remember where they are located so that you can access them for projects, etc.

HugClub Information on using monthly WebStuff 
http://marynpauln.com/4webstuff.html

Please see my other tutorials that show how I save and/or use PCCrafter hugware downloads or other image collections I have in combination with the Hugclub Browser Deluxe.

How I do it - screen shots:

Open Microsoft Picture It, choose Blank Projects, 
then Standard Paper

Then when I have a blank workspace in front of me
I choose from the "add something" menu, a picture from my computer.
 

In the next screen you will see the image folder open and an arrow pointing to the stationary I am going to use and insert or add to the blank work space.

In this next screen I have inserted the image and will size it using the margins
along the top and side of workspace.

Once I have the image the size I want it, I can insert the text and print out the image
as full size to fill a 8 by 11 page.

I like doing this inserting of text, as once I write one note,
I can easily change or customize a note to
someone else, by changing the text and printing out again.
Here is image example of text writing on stationary

The above image is sized for showing on this page.


I also save the animated banners to the same folder that I move the stationary images to and will use those animated banners or tags on webpages or in forum messages etc.  Below is an example of such a banner.

Learning sites for PictureIt tutorials


Other mini-screen image tutorials I have created
for use with the Deluxe Browser 
and/or PcCrafter & other Graphic Collections:

Please note:
I have my own method of madness that I use to organize my pccrafter graphics
and other image collections so that they are accessible to use as I want for various projects. I have my downloads of monthly content and other creatables installed in
my Hugbug Deluxe Browser, so that I can use the drag and drop feature and get the
white out feature. And I also created separate folders within the browser where I save
images I create, and/or images & graphics I may purchase or find for free online - so that I can use those images as well from the browser and get the white out that might be around them. And as noted above I save certain images, such as the webstuff stationary and ebanners, in other folders, I have created off my C: drive. Plus I will often backup images on a CD or a jump drive. If you create something that is important to you, be sure to name it**, and  save it and also have a backup copy made and stored off your main computer drive.  **try to name your creations with names that you will remember and associate with the image, and make note of "where you are saving them"!

    Tips and tutorials for learning and using Microsoft Picture It! photo editing and enhancement software. 
    Go up a category for resources on Digital Image Pro, the new title of Picture It.
    http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/pictureittutorials/
    and
    Microsoft Digital Image Pro and Picture It! User Resources
    Picture It's title changed to Picture It! Digital Image Pro with version 7, then Microsoft skipped a number and dropped Picture It! from the title when they released Digital Image Pro 9 and Digital Image Suite 9 in 2003. The main difference in Digital Image Suite is the addition of the Image Library for photo organization.

    Here are tutorials, templates, and other online resources for Microsoft Picture It! and Digital Image Pro photo editing and publishing software. Download free templates, Illusion Effects, frames, magazine covers, scrapbook pages and more.
