What is Project 10×12?
Many Simple Scrappers can’t keep up with a photo every single day. And that’s OK. As an alternative, I offered a monthly top 10 project in 2010. At the end of every month, I gave readers a brand new 10 photo template and several prompts to jump-start scrapping. You’ll capture the top 10 moments of each month in one layout. 10 moments x 12 layouts = a year of stress-free memory keeping.
What is Scrappers Give Thanks?

I am confused and hoping you can give me the fact.
I start my pages as 12×12′s at 300. Somewhere I read when you flatten them and resize it at 500 and jpg. at high. I have not printed out any. Am I doing this correctly. I want to order some pages in a book for Mothers day. I do not know if they will turn out. Do you have a site that you would order from. Would like them at 8×8′s. Thank you for your help.
Saving at high resolution should still give you a good print quality, but a size of 500×500 pixels is too small for printing an 8×8. The instructions you read were likely for saving for an online gallery.
If you still have your original PSD files, you want to go to File > Save As. Choose JPG from the drop down and when the resolution slider pops up, choose Max. You can upload these to any printing site and they will do the re-size to 8×8 for you.
Hi, I absolutely love all of your templates and was wondering what your Terms of Use is… Is it ok to make a layout made with your templates into a Quick Page?
My TOU is included with all downloads. Unfortunately I do not allow these for use in quick pages, but I am sporadically available for project work.
