Printing 8x8?

[jennyg]

I started creating my LOs as 12x12...but then printed them in 8x8. Those of you who print 8x8...do you create them as 12x12? Just curious. I wonder if that makes a difference. I have printed several LOs that I am pleased with and then there are a few that I don't love...could be that I haven't mastered drop shadows yet...but wasn't sure if it was b/c the LO is being reduced by the print company from 12x12 to 8x8. Thanks for your input!

I usually create at 12x12, even if I plan to print at 8x8. That way I still have options for future printing :)!

I create at 12x12 but do most of my printing on 8x8.

Ok...then do you change it to 8x8 before you print or do you just send your 12x12 to the print shop and then tell them you want 8x8? Thanks for the replies1

Well, I print mine at home, so I resize it to 8x8 first myself :).

I create at 12x12 b/c it is easier to drag in papers and elements seeing as they are generally made for 12x12 (at least papers!), and then I resize my LO's before I save them as JPG's! I then upload the 8x8 JPG to the printing company! Hope that helps!
