1. Do you always use templates? Most of the time, but not 100% of the time. Templates can help you with the overall look and arrangement of your layout. They can also help you with some of your shadowing.
2. Do you only use elements and papers from one kit? If I am doing CT (Creative Team) work, then yes. But some of my favorite layouts have been mix and matched from different kits! It can be fun to mix and try new styles and designers!
3. How do you save your layouts for print? I save them as 12x12 size jpeg, but I print 6x6 size, so I have to resize when I go to print. (I think it's 6x6, I haven't printed in a few years)
4. Favorite printing site? I use Shutterfly, Snapfish, and Mixbook. Depends on who has the best sales/offers!
5. Any other beginners tips? Don't be afraid to try new things, keep learning new things and make pages that YOU are proud of! Your style, techniques, and talent will grow and change as you grow as a scrapper! So glad you are joining us in this fun hobby!
