recoloring digital calendar tutorial


 Ok, so last night's show was  a lot of fun....thanks, Heidi for hosting! And, we were sooo thrilled to see Janet from the ICU pop in! **love you guys & praying for you!** And, of course, thanks to our sweet Nancy for moderating!
So...we showed you the amazingly FAB House of 3 calendars we have to offer & the fab ways to use them creatively...I. can. NOT. get enough of calendars! Love them! But...as  mentioned in the show...some of you have already emailed asking HOW to change the pre-designed colored calendars...so: here goes:
**note: you will need a photo editing program to change the colors. (like Adobe Photoshop PSCS or Adobe Photoshop Elements. PSE) I'm using PSCS4 here:

1. Open PDF image.

2. Go to: IMAGE>ADJUSTMENTS>HUE/SATURATION. You'll see a box like this pop up. You can see that you just have to adjust the sliders of the Hue, Saturation or Lightness.

3. Adjust sliders to achieve the colors you want. 
Do you see how I only adjusted the Hue on this one? Each color will adjust as you adjust the slider.


Here, I've adjusted both the Hue AND Saturation so I get a different looks as well.

 Can you see the difference when you adjust the Lightness and the Saturation, too? love it..kind of a frosty pastel.

So, there you have it! Use this technique on all of the House of 3 digital & printable kits to really customize your creations! & then, once you love them...send them off to Persnickety Prints for AMAZING quality! Did you see the cute calendar Heidi did? love it!
Happy Happy Thursday!
