how do I know the designs I've saved aren't gonna be blurry? I've saved a couple & I made them big on my screen to show my kids & they're blurry. But of course they're just fine when I downloaded them.
How do I know what size to print them? I'm missing those directions somewhere - are you opening them into word or something & sizing them & then printing so you know they're not blurry?

Make sure you are downloading the full size image and not a thumbnail. There will be a big difference between the thumbnail and the fullsize image below when printed out full page. If there is a small thumbnail that is a link to a larger image and you right-click save the thumbnail, it will be the small image saved, not the fullsize it links to.

ACK! I bet that's what I've done! Now I've gotta go find those designs again!
What size should they be? I know when I click on them it tells me the size - so the one I'm looking at right now is 159x116....

You probably want images at least 800 pixels wide and/or high. 159x116 is not going to look good blown up to a full page.
Here is the thumbnail above blown up to 800x600. Compare it to the 800x600 original above.
