Another word of caution on printing. If you are creating in 12x12 but printing to a smaller format, there will be some fudging with the cropping. I found that when my book was printed that even with the standard half inch margins all around, some of the text close to the edge was more difficult to read, so for the second cookbook, I increased my left and right margins to 1 inch for recipe text to allow for binding areas since these are big books (200-300 pages). Photos aren't as important and can bleed to the edge of a page. When you transfer a layout to a preset full page jpg in Shutterfly or Mixbook, it blows up the size a bit, making all content even closer to the margin. Your fonts will look larger because of this as well.

Also, one thing you can do is just print a test page at home in "real size." You probably can't do the whole page, and it might split it up between pages, but you will get a sense of the size of the font on the page. I did this to test out which fonts I wanted to use as well. For some reason, seeing it printed makes a difference.

Here is my "I was here" image-planting herbs. Please note Cherise Oleson's kit is named "Garden Plot Collection Mini," and not Happy Camper as was posted in the newsletter.

So often those of who scrap are TAKING the photos and rarely appear in them. Well, this is a challenge taking that deficiency into account. Your challenge today is to show that you were "in" the photo - but not. In other words, scrap a photo that illustrates “I was here." For example, show a project you are getting ready to tackle with all your stuff set up, or show your hand on top of a pile of laundry. Maybe your feet are in the photo, playing on the floor with children, grandchildren or a dog. Footprints in the sand could be a good illustration of this challenge, too. I hope you get the idea. I look forward to seeing how creative you are at showing yourself in daily life, while being a little invisible at the same time! Post your layout in the Weekly Newsletter Gallery, and then post in the thread below. If you are playing the Challenge Chase, post there as well.
