Default Shutterfly Notebooks?

I am making Diaries for my kiddos and for the life of me I can't figure out the size of the notebooks at Shutterfly. No matter how small I go about 35% off it is getting cut off. Why wouldn't the preview change if I am changing the size? HELP!!!!! Thanks in advance

Jen--I ordered one early in the year and made my cover 5.5 X 8.5. I don't think I had any problems with any part getting cut off.

Terry's dimensions are right. I made two at Christmas and they came out fine.

I noticed that sometimes at shutterfly if you know you have the right size but it looks cut off, it doesn't get cut off when you print it. My xmas cards last year kept getting cut off, but when printed they were fine. Good luck!

I don't know anything, but am interested to find out the answers. Thanks, ladies. So is there only one size?

I went the easy route and used Katie's template
You can change the look and just use it for the dimensions if you so please

Thanks ladies! Good to know I wasn't going crazy because the preview wasn't working no matter what I did with it! I used Katie's template just to be on the safe side

I didn't even know this existed! I must be slipping out of the loop.
