Recoloring in Photoshop

Did you know that you can recolor your digital products and use them over and over?

Rhonna from House of 3 has just put up this great tutorial on her blog showing how to easily recolor a flatten file in any PS program. This also works for papers, and most digital supplies.

We were able to print this beautiful 2011 REmarkable Calendar Kit for the House of 3 live web show last week. There are so many ways to use this calendar. I personally loved Heidi's printable calendar magnets and how Rhonna displayed this 16x20 calendar that we mounted. She dolled it up with chains, roses and charms! So.. cute!

 
You can watch the show here.
Hop on over to Rhonna's blog and see how she changed this Calendar color over and over...
