[Granny]

Thanks for the help, Mommabird! Yeap, Sac, that is sactly what you must do!!!

[sacannon]

Ok I give....I have been looking for it but can't find it. Where do I find the preferences for drag and drop to change the setting?

[slprunning]

Ok I give....I have been looking for it but can't find it. Where do I find the preferences for drag and drop to change the setting?

Up at the top where it has File Edit Align etc. , choose Edit and Preferences is at the bottom of the list. The box that pops up contains Environment and the Drag and Drop is the last thing on the right side (check box should be unchecked).

[sacannon]

ahhhh, thanks! I looked there, but I only looked on the left side and didn't see it. I need to get my glasses changed!!! (No joke, I have a new prescription, but it is good to have an excuse even if it is a bad one..LOL!)

[Oceania]

My second for this challenge

[angelwithin]

wonderful pages everyone

i'll try and get another done when my graphics card is fixed *sobs* it decided to throw a wobbley (probabley complaining about being overworked lol) so i'm waiting for a repair until then it's surf and only make one item at a time with only one program open at a time - nightmare for a designer as we all work in several programs at once *sighs*

[sacannon]

Here is my second attempt.

The Frilly Heart shape is from Autistic Wonders Filly Frames 3 kit, the Flourish below the frames and the heartline is from her misc. shapes (at least I think the flourish was in one of those misc groups, I might be wrong on that one). The solid border is from a kit Donna gave us in one of the other challenges. The solid heart is from SBM shapes. The others I made.

[Granny]

Wonderful girls!!!! I should have all of you as my creative team!!!!

Ok, one thought! When using the tiles as a background, make sure you import them through the page option and select the "Background (Tile)" option, or when using the drag and drop option, select the same option it in the Drag Assistance window. Other wise, the program will strech the tile to fit the entire background and you will have a blurry background. Unless, of course, that is the effect you want.

Did any of that make sense, cause it sounds weird to me!

[Granny]

SLPrunning... Welcome to the forum and the challenge. Delighted to have you. Can't wait to see your layout!!!

[wolvsie35]

Granny, wonderful challenge...and I know if I don't participate, you will ground me or something...lol...I am slowly getting back to everything, so I will definetly try this one out..Never done much with tiling...So this should be fun...

Everyone's pages are so good...Wowzers!!!!

[eye]

Gee these are all so lovely.I am just looking.Waiting for a simple challlenge to come along.

[O2BNGdHope]

Granny, I noticed that if I change the ppi from 200 to 300 or even to 100 the tiles change size. What range can we use realistically for these? I guess it would depend on if we were printing or just keeping on the computer for slide shows, etc? Is there a way to change the dpi for each item or just for the entire page?

[wolvsie35]

Don't yell at me...lol

Hey Grams, I had no wedding photos to use, so I used my neighbors dog...lol...I had to babysit her last week...Are we suppose to put the smt files here so others can use these as well? Just wondering...Hope you like this...and..OH...I learned some new things from your tutorial, thanks bunches...((HUGS))

Melanie... I exported them at 200 ppi. That should be plenty for whatever size, but Fiona is the expert in that department. Ppi is different from dpi, but they both live in the wrong side of the tracks. It has to do with their uncle Harry getting too familiar with cousing Louis, whe needless to say, don't even have a printer. Now, ain't you glad I'm handling the challenge this week, since I know every thing?

Wolvsie, baby, so glad to have you around. No problem with the dog picture, she is adorable. Better looking than any bride I ever saw. I hate weddings, anyhow!!!
