I am new and I was wondering when you complete a page how do you get it developed into a real scrap booking page. I have tried twice and they make a mess of it at a picture shop. You got any ideas. By the way you have a unique talent for scrapbooking. I love your work. I am from Nova Scotia.

Hard Copies?

I am printing my own pages. I have photo paper (Glossy). The size I am working with is 11 1/2 x 8 (landscape). Many are doing 8 x8 and print them at home too. Some are sending them to a professional service. You can do 12 x 12 too but most are sending those out. I found by printing 11 1/2 x 8 size that it is real cost effective (about 68 cents per copy). I put my pages in a nice album with the plastic page protectors, to display them.

You will hear from other members here with suggestions too. I assume your using the full version....... if not, your prints will have that ugly wording on the bottom. That disappears when you stop using the trial version.

I hope this has given you some options to consider.

printing 12x12 pages

Eye:

I love doing 12x12's, and I don't have a color printer at all. I've gotten samples from Scrapbooks 2 Share (sbtoshare.com). The samples were very good, and cost about $1.75 ea, plus $5 shipping per order (I think.) However, I'm very picky about my photos, and the photos on the page just aren't as good as ones I have developed at my local photo store.

I tried an online photo developer (fotki.com). Because these are actually photos, the whole scrapbook page is on photo paper (archival paper and ink). The photos on these layouts are every bit as good as photos from my local photo store, especially the one on glossy paper. The cost is $2.50 ea, plus $2 shipping per order. The catch is this: I had to print on 11x14 paper. So I designed my page at 11Hx12W, then had SBM change the size of my page to 11Hx14W, telling it 'no' when it asked if it should re-arrange my page to fit the new size. It then simply extended the background to 2 inches wider. I sent it online to Fotki to print as an 11Hx14W. When I received it back, I just cut off the extra 2 inches from the side. I put it into my plastic protector, and I have an 11x12 page. Not quite 12x12, I know, but I can live without that extra inch of height.

I also received samples from ezprints.com. (They are also excellent, but I think Fotki's colors are closer to what I saw on my computer screen.) I did the same thing with them as I did with Fotki, as far as the size of my pages. Their cost is $3.47 ea, with $2 shipping per order. I see they also have 12x12 (they call them panorama prints) for $4.50 ea. I'm not sure it's worth an extra $2 per page to me to get that extra 1" height.

Just a note regarding all 3 printer places: You have to lighten up the pictures you're putting into your layout. They print darker than what you see on your screen.

I'm really excited about this! I can have all the flexiblity of digital scrapbooking, yet still get as high of quality photos on my pages as I've been using on my paper pages.

thye make a mess

When I send the page through the internet to wal-Mart and 8x10 the heads were cut off so I went bigger 11x14 and pictures were all there but some of the page design was cut short as well as embellishments. Am I doing it wrong. It is costly by to many mistakes. The 11x14 is almost $8 to do. Can you come up with an answer

[harley-dreams]

I love these pages however when I save a file that has multiple pages I only get one page. What am I doing wrong? Please help, Thank you for sharing.
