Great tip. I bet it would work in PSE too.

Great question Patti! I'll let the other editor's know about PSE 6.0 and see if we can get a copy to review for the magazine. So hang on in the meantime. I took RP's class too and she is a fantastic person, a very sweet & genuine person in real life too!

You will be able to  download a trial version of PSE 6.0 before you buy it. And the nice thing about Adobe is that the trial versions are fully functionable!

Great topic to bring here on the boards. Let me dig out my list I made in August.

I have not necessarily used all of these things.

• I found  "Design & Print DoorTalker Door Hangers"
• I love Sticker Paper
• Artist Greeting Cards in different textures
• Thai Unryo Paper

If you want links to any of these, just PM me.

For some reason I'm not getting email notificiations of replies. Sorry I didn't see this sooner. I'll PM you about this tutorial.

I have a question. Does it slow down your computer?

Welcome Amy! Glad to have you with us.

You can print your photo by buying 12x12 Photo Paper from Epson (it's called PremierArt Matte Scrapbook Photo Paper for Epson).  I would use my regular size printer and cut it down to 8.5x12. Then I would crop my photo for that size. When you go to print, change your print size to custom 8.5x12. 

Another option is to get a large print from wherever you order your digital prints.

Or a third option is to create pages at 8x8 size instead of 12x12 size and make your photos 8" wide.

I have a tutorial that will  show you how to print and use digital paper for use in scrapbooking size 12x12 for NORMAL SIZE PRINTERS but I'll post the instructions here. You will need white paper that is 12x12. It can be white on both sides or you can print on the white side of printed paper.

I cut the 12x12 paper into two pieces as described below, then hide the seam with accents or a ribbon.

1. Open the paper of your choice from a digital kit. Here I have also opened a digital overlay or transparency. I will drag the overlay onto the striped paper to create a customized look.

Take the actual paper that you will be printing on and crop it to 8.5x12 inches with your trimmer. Bring both this piece and the left over piece that is 3.5x12 inches to your printer.

4. Set the crop tool for 8.5 inches x 12 inches, resolution 300. Drag the crop tool from the upper left corner to the bottom. Click on the check mark to crop.



5. Click on File --> Print. In the preview window, click on Page Setup. With the "Size" drop-down menu, choose "User-Defined." Click ok.

6. Click PRINT. If you get a pop-up that says that some clipping will occur, click ok.
7. Click on Properties in the dialog box. In the Paper Options field, click on the drop-down menu for size and choose here "User-Defined" and you will get a box that alllows you to put in the dimensions. Type 850 for width and 1200 for height. Click OK.

8. Set Quality for Best Photo. Select the Paper Type. My paper is not cardstock so I chose "plain paper." Click ok to print.

9. After the sheet has printed, go to your document in Photoshop. Go to Edit --> Undo Crop. (ctrl-z)

0. Now we will crop for the left-over piece of paper. Set the crop tool at width: 3.5 inches and height: 12 inches, resolution 300 pixels/inch. Click the check mark to crop.


1. Repeat Steps Five and Six.
12. Repeat Step Seven except now we will enter 350 and 1200 as the values for the size of the paper.

13. Repeat Step Eight. Now you have your own customized paper to create a hybrid layout, and if you printed on the back of printed paper you now have awesome two-sided paper! Have fun!

Since my printer does not print all the way to the edges, I will just plan my design to have a cardstock base with these new printed papers.

I think Amy's response is here: http://scrapbookdimensions.com/main/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=10273&topic=255.0

Thank you!
