and apparently I need to resize all my lo's and try again. Both covers are messed up and about half the layouts are cut off.. it didn't look like anything was going to get cut off the edges in the preview. :(
 
I think that is one of the reasons why I fear doing books....I have never paid much attention to how close to the edge my journaling or photos are, and now I just think it would be to late to deal with it. I am trying to be conscious of it when I scrap now but even still I forget....I hope you can get it worked out!
 
That really bites! I always live in fear of printing for these reasons. At least for work I know what I need to do for cropping, but these photo books are out of my comfort zone. I'm so sorry!
 
yea sara, did you give them a call? Maybe see if they'll replace the books? I've never heard of anyone resizing their stuff for artscow *shrug*
 
If the preview looked good, I wonder if they screwed up in the printing.

I always slap a quarter inch border around my layouts when I create a .jpg for printing, for a book or for individual pages. It's no big deal if it gets trimmed off and it if doesn't it makes a nice frame.:)
 
I'm sorry! That sucks! I sized all my LOs at 8x8 and made sure I had at least a quarter inch wiggle room for cutting and bleed on each edge... and went about 1/3 inch for journaling. Then when I created my book in the bookmaker, I clicked on the zoom out button twice on each page to avoid mroe cropping. Did you use their templates for your cover?
 
The same thing happened to me. I was really upset cause I made the book for my niece and it is really hard to see everything!!!!
 
Let us know what their customer service is like. I'm definitely not gonna use them if they don't make things right for you.
 
Oh that stinks. I just got my second shutterfly book back and was thinking of trying artscow since I had heard good things. But I will definitely stick with Shutterfly. Wendyzine has a great action that resizes everything just right and makes it all painless.
