Anyone that needs photos.... either as a permenant part of your page... or to 'fill in' until you get some scanned.... Is more than welcome to use photos from my Disney Share!
I have recently added photos from Disneyland Paris as well

There are a few other sites that you can get photos from as well... I think they are posted in the 'photography' part of the forum

I was up waaaaay too late last night moving my kits to a new machine.
Everything is sorted but nothing picked out, probably gonna tear my hair out for the first couple scraps, lol.

Gotta remember, get it done, fix it LATER!

I am having trouble posting the link to the gallery in the tracking thread. I copy the direct link tab in the gallery and insert it in my post, but when I click on it, it just shows a pic of the page, and does not redirect to the gallery. Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks!

I have been out of the loop for a while and I am not up on all that is going on with the Marathon, but do we get extra time to finish the SS if we are just going for the 1/2 or Full Marathon prizes like last year?

The "Direct Link" is the path to the actual photo (.jpg). Copy the URL from the address bar.

Thank you, Carol! I knew I'd remember once someone reminded me!

A few of you were talking tonight during the chat that you were running out of ideas, photos, etc. I told you about my spreadsheet to keep me organized and said I would share it.

It's extremely simply. It's just an excel spreadsheet. I only print my books with Shutterfly so each book allows me 101 pages. I have page numbers in two columns and just begin laying out the pages on paper.

I have one tab with a blank template and another tab that shows you what I'm working right now for our Thanksgiving trip. I print the page, keep it on my desk, and line them out as I complete them.

Remember it's a work in progress as well so I do sometimes swap things around as I go along. Changing Right to Left or moving the layout around completely or decide I need to do another page so then I have to decide what I can give up.

Really helps to keep me focused and on track. !

Here is the 4shared link. If you have problems downloading just let me know.

Also here is a link to assist you with the new Custom Path on Shutterfly to do your digital scrapbook if you need it. http://shutterfly-2.custhelp.com/app...tail/a_id/1407

Cynthia, These are great. Thanks for sharing.

Cynthia, Thanks! I love it. I think it was you who posted the sale last week from Shutterfly too. I have a book ready to print for my sister. If I get thru this weekend I'm going to try to get hers loaded to shutterfly and order. I didn't look long but I didn't see an option for "full page" pictures. What do you start with?
Thanks again-Robin

Hey Robin, If you click on the link about it will give you step by step to set up in the Custom Path. Basically for all pages you will select the Full Bleed Option for the page layout then simply drap and drop you 12X12 .jpg layout onto the page. It's pretty easy but if you have problems when you get started just send me a PM.
