Keeping this up -- it is the info I gave in my crop last night and thought it may help you all :)
Here is my secret to making stunning 6X4 LOs, without having to resize every paper and element! Shhhh.. don't tell everyone (haha).... - Ok, Open up a canvas -- instead of 12X12, make it 12 X 8 (or 8 X12)
- Drag and drop the papers you want -- You should get a really good representation of the paper, only loosing a few inches :) You can resize if you want - but not needed.
- Drag and drop your elements -- no resizing really necessary since the designer created them for a 12X12 canvas anyways -- so they should be fairly close to the size you want.
- Plop your picture on your page just as you normally would -- here, the important thing is to really be picky with your photos. Try to use close-ups as much as possible. It is also OK to use multiple photos if you are cropping them really close in - believe me, I have done it and they look awesome. The reason you want close-ups is because your print will be 6X4, so you don't want anything really small.
- OK, when you are done your LO - Simply resize it and save it as a JPG -- you can resize it to 6X4 ! Voila, a perfect LO that you can use as a card or you can create a great portable brag book.
Need an inspirational sketch for your RAK card -- look no further! |
