February Challenge!

[*eng*]

WOW - I can't believe how much stuff everyone has contributed so far!!! I'm just getting back on my computer after 2 deaths in the families and a mini-vacation! You'd think you are all snowed in like I am right now with nothing better to do! First official BLIZZARD in West Michigan in many years! High of 3 degrees F today.....YIKES!!!

I hope to play with all of this wonderful stuff very soon - but I have to keep an eagle eye on Eddy, our new puppy, who my husband went out in the blizzard yesterday to pick up! Couldn't wait so long to make a layout to show him off.....here's a pic....isn't he the cutest??? He'll have to be the subject for my first Feb Challenge page coming soon.....

Awwww...Eddy, cute name, gorgeous little fella'. What breed is he kristy?

Awwww...Eddy, cute name, gorgeous little fella'. What breed is he kristy?

He's 3/4 Shih-Tzu and 1/4 Yorkshire Terrier. It's a "designer" breed called a "Shorkie Tzu". (Who cares about designer, all I care about is CUTE! )

Great job Lila! Such a pretty baby, too! Hope you can get the template to upload. Be sure you have all the embies as embies and the papers as paper scraps and not photo. Then right click on your picture and clear image. Then check the optimize square. It should do fine at 8x8. Hope this helps. Thanks for the embies!

Well - here's mine! Hope you all like!!! I figure anyone who wants to use this pet page can redo the letters into a different name or just take them off altogether....

( Wow - I was surprised at how small my template ended up, under 1 mb! How did I do that?? )

Thank you kristy, I love it.

Make smaller?

I was able to upload two templates (in spite of the fact that I forgot to clear the pictures! Hope you guys didn't mind.), but then I got one that was too big and I don't know how to make it smaller. I cleared the picture (LOL this time) but it is still over 5 mb and it isn't a very complicated one.

Any help? Thanks. It's so great to learn about this stuff - I'm a real techno numpty!

thanx thats my girl when she was just litlle over a year old. (she s 4 now and boy do i ever know it!!)

absolutly dont get the embies as embies bit
i work in microsoft photo premium and save the file as png or jpg, this makes it a flat file. I can save as a workable png but this leaves the file huge!! way to big for uploading.
i did notice though that it might be a problem with jpg saving on my puter.
it save all jpg as Corel photopaint jpg.
hmm???
but i did get my other pages in Kalina's folder uploaded. so will try again.
i am just a bit worried about making the file to small, thus it wont be really usefull for others to work with.
but i will give it a try and then people will just have to try and let me know if it comes out ok.

thanx

[lila2002]

need to know

ok i know
its got to be JPG
it says max KB is 2048
my file is smaller then that but still wont upload
now what is the max size mine is now 1280 x 1280 pix

i know that with uploading the other layouts this morning i did get an option to take out photo...but as i wasnt uploading the template so didnt have to

[spanielmom]

OK here are my 8X8's. The colors of the kit made me dig through my son's baby pictures. My "Baby" boy turns 16 tomorrow! - is 6'1" tall and eats me out of house and home. Oh how I long for the days when I could hold him in my arms and he didn't talk back.

[MaggieMae]

Omg!

These are great layouts! I love how you did all those circles and how perfect for the bubbly paper!
