I am trying to use templates but do not use photoshop. I use the Artisan Scrapbooking program and I wonder if anybody else uses this and if they have been able to use the downloadable templates. Thank you.

I'm not familiar with this program, sorry. I use Photoshop Elements.
Hi Nancy. I believe the Artisan program works with PAGE files. You can find all the PAGE files we have here.
Also, you can use .png files and transfer them to .page files. Here's some help:

Thank you so much Lisel. I have printed off these instructions and will attempt soon. Nancy
I have tried this Marisa but unfortunately I can't ungroup and/or fill in the individual elements.
I use Artisan 5. What templates are you trying to use and I can see if I can help you?
Lisa, I just started with Artisan and downloaded one of the PAGE templates. I can't figure out how to get it onto my page.
Hey ladies. I love PixelScrapper and i love artisan! Primarily the content you will find here needs to be imported like pictures or any other non-Forever content that you purchase outside of forever.com. Templates, except for old .page files, from PixelScrapper can't be used like click in fills. Many designers here you can download the .png elements and relayer everything, but I still find the functionality limited. I like to bring it in, make it the size of my background so everything is scaled and then recreate the elements using Artisan over top.
It does mean some of the templates that have partial layers and depth will be difficult, if at all possible, in Artisan.
Lisa,
If you have a .page template it needs to be in a file where Artisan looks for "blueprints/templates" and this is a file in windows. If you want specific instructions I can walk you through it. It's super easy when you know where to place and direct Artisan. I've been using Artisan/CM Storybook for as long as its been around and using non-Forever kits for almost as long. email me at [email protected] with contact info if you'd like my help!
