Design Challenge #1 - March 2012 - THE KIT

[Chef Minnie Mouse]

Yep count me in! I will make journaling tags in each color.

[MJAJmom]

This is such a cool idea. I used the blue/yellow colors and made some papers, flowers, ribbons, buttons and frames. After a quality check and zipping, I'll be sending it in soon.

For the kit preview-It's a 12 x 12, should we save it for web/forum preview? Meaning do we save it 600 x 600?

Either way is fine. Since the kit is a different kind of collab we are going to display the previews a little differently. I can work with either.

Sounds good thank. Just working on my TOU (As I've never had one of those before) and then it's all done. This has been such a great learning experience for me. Hope my designs aren't to elementary. Thanks for the opportunity.

If you are eventually going to be posting it on MS, then it needs to be 600x600.

Thanks

Thanks-The one in my kit ended up being 12 x 12, but I did save a preview for the web and MS at 600 x 600. Christina said she could work with either, so I didn't change it in the kit. A bunch of 'duh' moments this time around. But I'll be ready for next month. I got my designing feet wet, and now I've got the bug!!!!! )

The preview images that go in the kits should be 600x600 to keep the file size down. I know when I save files at 3600x3600 they are huge. e.g. one page I did was 185kb at 600x600, but 7.7mb for the full size. We can change it for you so you don't have to reload it, but for next time (and for everyone else) please have the preview images in your zip files 600x600.

Thanks! I hope you had fun designing!

Absolutely. Thanks for changing it for me. I was able to keep my whole zip file down to under 15MB. Thanks for changing it for me this time. I'll definitely do the smaller file preview next time. So appreciate all the help everyone has given this newbie designer. Hope it turned out okay. I had so much fun. Can't wait to see everyone's creations.

Had fun with this challenge! I created 4 solid papers, 4 patterned papers, 4 flowers, 4 frames and 4 ribbons. All general use, no theme.
Have to zip and upload it, that will be something for tomorrow.
Can't wait to see what everyone else made!
