Even with the extra time I still missed it

Ugh. Guys I tried. I've left love for about half of you so far (starting from the back) so if I didn't get to you, I'm sorry. I'll try to come back to it later. Migraine is still trying to make my head explode. Seeing all the gorgeous LO's y'all have made makes me realize how I just "phoned it in" last night.

I hope that helps and I hope no one has already answered your question! (I didn't read all the way to the end of the thread!)

Thanks, that is kind of what I did. I just played with the opacity of the paper. I appreciate the help.

Everyone's layouts look great. I had to go out after I posted mine last night so I will leave love today!

Ladies! All I can say is WOW I wanted to put everyone in for layout of the week! I did let my hubby pick his two favs and put them in. I have no clue how he chose. Everyone did an amazing job. Thanks to everyone that helped me via the chat room as well as here in the forum. I sent out all pf the PP so please let me know if I missed anyone and also please drop Kelly a thank you note for providing the PP.
Happy Scrapping!

Phew, just finished leaving love.

Great layouts everyone. It was nice to see a number of first time speed scrap participants. You all did a fabulous job.

Thank you Chef Minnie Mouse for the fun challenge and a huge thank you to Kellybell for the wonderful PP!

Sorry I'm just now responding to this but I'm just now able to go through the thread and leave love.

When I am saving my page in SBC I save as a pdf file instead of jpeg (under file type). I also select the resolution of 72dpi (under resolution). When the file is saved I open up the pdf and then save that as a jpeg file. This usually reduces the file size down below 280kb. If it's above 280 kb I open the jpeg file in a photo editing program and reduce the file size, and then save it again. Let me know if you're still having problems.
