Looking to make that 1% difference that enhances your Scrapbook pages and brings them to a whole new level? Enlarge the photos! While on a routine shopping trip to a local Costco with my CDs full of photos, I was amazed to find that they offered 8x12 - so I figured Id try one. Immediately upon getting the photos back from that order I put my 8x12 to work. The advantage of using this great new size on your scrapbooks is that it fits top to bottom, or side to side on a 12x12 scrapbook layout. Generally this size photo is the one I like the best out of the set, so having it bigger shows detail and shows the subject(s) large add a matted 4x6 photo and title to the mix and even can easily continue your layout to fill two pages. For those that havent experienced this new size, Id like to invite you to get to your local Costco, or other digital media outlet which processes JPG/GIF and give your layout a face-lift. The prices at my local Costco were 49 for 4x6s, returned within one-hour and $1.99 for 8x12, returned within twenty-four hours. TIP: Burn your photos to Compact Discs by the size you want to print them (i.e. 4x6, 5x7, 8x12, etc) - one size per disc. Your organization now saves you time at the kiosk. When all is said and done, and youve tried using this idea - Step back and take a look at The Bigger Picture! See Sample at http://www.LStarkeyDesigns.com/newsletter/8x12.jpg |
