Default Shutterfly question-help!

First thanks for all the previous helpful Shutterfly hints I’ve read here on the forum. So many great tips!
I am in the process of ordering my first book and have some problems.


I have uploaded the pages as 8x8
Used the custom crop which allows for the full page
Turned off the vivid pics
I did the custom crop and turned off vivid pics for each page. There was no “save” button for each of these tasks, but assumed it was done as I clicked on each one.
Moved the scrapbook pages from the album to the photo book and organized the pages and front/back/spine.

Problems-
Cover page is cut off too much. (used the same page for cover and first page of photo book)
Page 14-top edging lost too much of the edging. (It is a black edging that remains on bottom and side so looks silly cut off the top.)

Otherwise I’ve gotten this far!!!

How can I correct these two problems?

Then I’ll be set to ORDER!!!
Thanks! Donna (anxious to order!!!!)

Hey Donna!
If you go to the top of this page and hit print services, you will find templates for the cover. The cover is not sized like a regular page. You can find an 8x8 page template that might help you with pg 14 too.

Good luck!
HTH!

Here is the link for the 8x8 templates:

Donna, I usually resize my 8x8 pages to 7.95x7.95 and that helps with the edging problem and I never have white space. See if that works for page 14.

As Joey said, there is a different template for the front and back cover which is larger than an 8x8 page. I always use the template the Joey mentioned at it works beautifully.

Good luck with your book!

Thank You so much Joey and Lisa. First time ordering is like leaving your baby at daycare for the first time..............hard to let go and want to make sure EVERYTHING is perfect!!! I know the process will go easier next time. Thanks for answering my questions.
