Thank you so much for this video. It is the first I have ever seen and after spending thousands on Etsy you have no idea how much it means to me. What a blessing you are. Great video!

[@BudgetingJustBecause]

I’m so happy you enjoyed the video! Thank you for watching 💗

[@jojosmoney]

When you highlight the icons, you can click the 3 dots and select to space them evenly, then tidy up, and it will align them all. Then, you copy and paste the aligned group. 🙂 You can also do it when you organize the templates. Just set the two ends, and it will auto-adjust the middle one and align them horizontally.

Hi thanks so much I have been trying to learn how to do my own challenges I will go to library tomorrow and try. How do I put the numbers on top of the icon so I can make it a scratch off ?

[@BudgetingJustBecause]

Hi Kelly. Glad you enjoyed the video. Just center your number on top of the icon. If it looks like it is behind the image, click position and then forward. I hope this helps!

[@jenniwilliams3089]

I have a question... if I make the background white instead of grey, can I hide elements behind it? For example using larger graphics that will overlap if I have two or three boxes on a page? I don't want them to show in the second challenge... or can I trim or erase the extra parts?

[@BudgetingJustBecause]

@@jenniwilliams3089 hmmm I’m not sure I’m following but test it out in Canva and see if it works for you. The best way is to just get in there and play around 😊
