June 08 Designer Challenge Featuring - Granny

[sacannon]

Here is my try at the June Challenge. I made some embies and shapes. One overlay and one circle edge shape. The shapes are the last two below the layouts. Save them to your shapes folder (c: Program files, SBM, Gallery, images,shapes)

I think the edge shape on the picture would be great for winter pictures.

This was a distance shot that I cropped and zoomed so it is a little blurry.

Hi Granny - great challenge. This will be lots of fun for everyone - including me. LOL.

Used SBM software - at 200 dpi and saved for web. Came out blurry - any ideas anyone on what I did wrong. LOL sorry I don't usually use SBM and not up with all the ins and outs. When I have a program that cost me many hundreds of dollars I tend to use that one. LOL It was lots of fun though and a pleasure with the ease of use. Maybe because I saved for web instead of a higher setting is my problem.
Again - cool challenge Granny - I'm sure it will be very popular with everyone. Excellent

Usually if I save to send I choose the email option (for the overall size) but I choose highest for quality. That way, it suits posting size. If I am going to print I save it as best in both categories.

Thanks, Granny for a fun challenge. Couldn't decide what to do, but came up with this. Working with shapes and tiling was a great idea! Congratulations! By the way, I love your sense of humor in your postings! Are you a writer?

Wow, ladies, what beautiful pages!!! I did not mean to make it hard for you guys. But you are definetely raising up to the challenge! If you need a particular embie to go with your page, ask me, I'll make it for you or find it! I appreciate you sharing with each other and giving credit too. You're a good bunch!!!

TWclerk, you did great, even with the first picture. They are all lovely.

Mommabird... Thank you for all your support and kind words. No, I'm not a writer. According to an old friend (wonder about that), I'm a flower child.... A blooming idiot! But then, she wan't far behing me!

Ok, ladies, keep them coming! Remember, ask and you will receive!!!

Hey Granny, when I try to drag and drop, the "drag and drop" assistant doesn't come up. Is there a setting for that to come up? Mine just drop on the page, then they are blurry when you spread them on the page. I drag and drop a lot, but I don't ever see that box come up.

One of the settings on the drag and drop box is
Don't ask me this anymore which means
Don't show this dialog anymore, just automatically add the new image as a Photo object. If you check this box, you can enable it again in the Drag and Drop section of the preferences. You can find this setting by choosing Edit > Preferences from the program menu and selecting the Environment section.

Hope this helps!
