Return To Scrapbooking Article Archive   Scrapbooking: The Bigger Picture! By Lizi Starkey Looking to make that 1% difference that enhances your Scrapbook pages and brings them to a whole new level? Enlarge the photos! While on a routine shopping trip to a local Costco with my CD's full of photos, I was amazed to find that they offered 8x12 - so I figured I'd try one. Immediately upon getting the photos back from that order I put my 8x12 to work. The advantage of using this great new size on your scrapbooks is that it fits top to bottom, or side to side on a 12x12 scrapbook layout. Generally this size photo is the one I like the best out of the set, so having it bigger shows detail and shows the subject(s) large... add a matted 4x6 photo and title to the mix and even can easily continue your layout to fill two pages. For those that haven't experienced this new size, I'd like to invite you to get to your local Costco, or other digital media outlet which processes JPG/GIF and give your layout a face-lift. The prices at my local Costco were 49¢ for 4x6's, returned within one-hour and $1.99 for 8x12, returned within twenty-four hours. TIP: Burn your photos to Compact Discs by the size you want to print them (i.e. 4x6, 5x7, 8x12, etc) - one size per disc. Your organization now saves you time at the kiosk. When all is said and done, and you've tried using this idea - Step back and take a look at The Bigger Picture! See Sample at http://www.LStarkeyDesigns.com/newsletter/8x12.jpg ABOUT THE AUTHOR Lizi Starkey, whose experience in scrap booking spans over 14 years, started off at the age of 16 years old while babysitting for a Creative Memories Consultant (Lakeside, CA) in exchange for scrap booking supplies. In 1997 Lizi found her first scrapbook store in San Jose at the age of 22. While working at "Scrapbook Junction” from 2001 to 2002 and teaching "Basics”, Lizi was published in The Creating Keepsakes Wedding Idea Book on page 63. Though Lizi is being picked up in Lake Havasu (where her house is being built) by "Scrapbooks And More”, her true endeavor is to provide private one-on-one scrap booking lessons from home, from beginner to advanced, and to all ages. Lizi's Website, http://www.LStarkeyDesigns.com, hosts more tips, tricks, and general Scrapbooking Ideas for many years to come. keywords: Scrapbook | Scrapbooking | Photos | Pictures | Memories | crop | cropping | scrapper | scrapbooker | scrapbooks Cricut Cutter
