STEP ONE: Under the File menu, select New, and then choose create a new Blank File.
STEP TWO: Understand that the size you want to make your pattern will be the same size it will show up in your final product. Your resolution also needs to match the resolution of your final project in order to keep sizes exact. Typical standard resolution is 300 dpi, but for most scrapbook pages I recommend 200 dpi because you will have a lot of layers and your file sizes will get very large. When you are finished with your selections, press OK.
STEP THREE: When you create your own patterns your pattern might be as basic as a line down the middle of your new document; however for this example I want you to use the Custom Shapes tool to create a more complicated pattern. Choose the Custom Shape Tool or press "U" on the keyboard. When you click on the Shape drop down menu you will see a small triangle to the upper right of the menu. Click on the triangle and more shapes will appear. For our example I want you to choose the category "Ornaments." This category contains a lot of shapes that are easy to repeat in a pattern. Choose the shape "Ornament 6".
STEP FOUR: Set the default colors to Black and White by pressing "D" on your keyboard. Now, click in the upper left corner of your blank file and drag your shape down to the lower right corner. You want to leave a little bit of room at the edges since this particular pattern needs a little space when it is repeated to look consistent.
