[Starlite9711]

thanks for the heads up Cassie!!!

[Angelia]

Thanks for the update Cassie.

[Crissy]

Thanks Cassie!! I have already submitted 4 Keep your fingers crossed for me. I have never been published!!

[PaulaSG]

Thanks for the heads-up Cassie. And CHrissy - I can't believe that! I'll bet this will be your time!

[Starlite9711]

Im gonna try and submit a few this time around too, never been published either!! Good Luck Chrissy!! Anyone have any tips on how to get the best quality at under 100kb??? I can get them to under 100kb but I am worried about quality?!?!

[Cassie Jones (1gr8muggle)]

Well, Bailey, I just flatten my image, change it to 6x6 inches @ 72 dpi, then "save for web" and adjust the quality until it's under 100K.

There may be better ways, but I'm too lazy to try and figure them out.

I am new to scrapbooking but not to webwork one thing I had to learn was.
If you are saving it as a jpg the thing to remember it looses quality with each save so never save it to jpg until your done. And in photoshop use the save for web and just tweek it. I actually like fireworks compression ability better does a much better job then photoshop. But CS3 seems to have picked up some good tip from fireworks.

Thanks guys! Well Cassie, seeing as how you have been published and it worked for you....Then it works for me. Thanks for the tips!

That is essentially the same way Jessica Sprague teaches in her new class...so if it is good enough for Jessica AND Cassie...it must be good enough for us mere mortals!

[rubia]

I also do what Cassie said...one minor addition is something Kim here at DD suggested -- and that is running the .jpg through a sharpen filter to add crispness

[Starlite9711]

Thanks DeAnna!! Will do. Not so sure Im gonna try this time around, my fav lo's aren't very "wintery"...lol Haven't decided yet!

[hyperstarre]

anyone hear anything yet?

[rubia]

I haven't heard anything or seen any toots yet, Caroline...

[Cassie Jones (1gr8muggle)]

My bet is sometime at the end of this week or beginning of next (based on the past couple of calls).

[Sasha]

Good Luck girls!

[Cassie Jones (1gr8muggle)]

Anyone hear anything? It's been over two weeks . . .

[deenaw]

Nope! But I'm not expecting to this time around. I was very disappointed with my efforts! Only submitted a few and none were "Decembery"! lol

Good luck girls!

[kathie02]

Good luck girls!

You don't have to "expect," Deena, you just have to "be." All of your stuff is so amazing, you could submit NOTHING and still get one picked up! lol

yeah, seriously!!!

still crossing my fingers here. but not really expecting anything because i never seem to have luck with them!

[shhbabymine]

i totally missed the deadline - maybe next time around - i was still trying to get up the nerve to even submit - when i finally got happy with the one layout i was working on - it was too late!!! cant wait to see who gets published this time around - always fun "seeing" DD ladies work in print!

[Jasi]

I haven't heard anything yet, and if Cassie hasn't either, there's still hope!

You are way too modest!

[rubia]

Nothing here either Cassie. But i'm with Lisa....apparently there's still hope

[Starlite9711]

Im with you Sarah, took me too long to get over my intimidation and once I was satisfied with a LO, I decided it wasnt wintery enough....lol. ALL of you are too modest......you girls are amazing artists (hence part of my intimidation...lol)!! I cant wait to see all of the DD Lo's picked up!
