January Challenge

I found the way to get the template smaller is to delete the extra pages first, then save it as a new file with new name and then when finished, export as a new template.

ok try these, you will

have to unzip the files and put them where you want them stored. These are add- ons for what you already have for the Challenge.

Ok here is my first try at a challenge. I hope I did what I was supposed to do. This was fun and I look forward to participating in more.

Does everyone know that if you download a template with SBM you can not have anything grouped together because it does not put them on the template. The templates posted here (except for my own) have not been usable. Hope I don't hurt anyones feelings I just thought the idea was so everyone would end up with usable templates.

[sacannon]

Did you look in the creations area of SBM under "Page" and click on "add page"? That is where they are suppose to show up.

[spanielmom]

They show up----its just when you add the page to an album---anything that was grouped when exported to a template shows up with big blank spaces.

[Marion]

Ok I figured out the problem I think. It is not the grouping, but when exporting the template make sure to remove the checkmark from the "remove photos" Many of the embies and backgrounds are added as a photo in order to be able to manipulate the items better. So when we leave that checked, it takes of everything.
I had a very hard time reducing the size of the template on this one.

I am re-uploading my template. Please let me know if it works!

I figured the same thing Marion. How are you reducing the size. That is my problem right now?

[Marion]

I am having to go into photoshop and reduce image size. For some reason the size was huge. And I did not put that much on it. Don't really understand why it was so big.

sorry everyone is having a rough go of things but that's the whole idea (kind of!)

Hoping you are all being challenged to learn new things and create things in ways you usually wouldn't!

I love what you all have done so far!

[*eng*]

Sorry but I'm lost, what we are we supposed to be doing. I can't make stuff and although want to have not time to cope with that at the mo! Please explain to an English numpty lol!

I am going through the same thing. I have reduced the size of all my objects that I added and it is still too big. I can't reduce the shapes, I am still trying, but don't know what else to do.

Well Sue , you are ahead of me. I am still at the starters post lol

One more thing, don't everyone name their layout "January Challenge" because when you install it, you will override someone elses. Add your name or number to it, or gave it a new name.
Just thougth I would throw that in as a suggestion.
