Artisan Tip: Refining Tags
If you are in the habit of tagging your content, you may come to a point where you would like to tweak the tags that you've chosen. Maybe you realize the system you are using isn't working for you, or maybe you don't have a system, or you have multiple systems and they are fighting with each other! It may be that you want all of your tags to start with an upper case (or a lower case) letter or you want them to all be either singular or plural. Perhaps you have one tag that has lots of one particular item in there - enough that that item needs its own tag - so that the other items become hard to find. Whatever the reason, there are some very simple ways to refine your tagging system without having to start over.

Artisan Tip: Saving Creations to a Personal Art Kit (PAK)
If you try many of the p2P Bright Ideas or you experiment with techniques you learned from p2P videos, you almost certainly have some papers, overlays, embellishments, clusters, or word art that you've created. The question is, what do you do with them, once you've made them? It may be that you use them on the page you're working on and forget about them, but every now and again, you may have something on your hands that you'd like to use again. When that happens, you'll want to add that creation to a Personal Art Kit, so that you can find it in the future.
