Hello. Thanks to everyone who has made the wonderful autograph book pages and the great posts detailing how to use them. They are awesome! I started my youngest DD's book yesterday, printed out about 20 pages I downloaded off the various sites. Printing them on cardstock standard size paper, 2 per page then cutting them with a slide scrapbook cutter I borrowed from my mom. My pages are coming out pretty clean, but there is some inconsistencies where they're not lining up perfectly. It's driving me a little nuts but if this simply can't be avoided I will live with it. I was wondering if anyone might have any hints, though. (I would buy 5x7 precut cardstock, but I already had the cardstock regular size paper from another project and since I'm planing on having 70-80 pages per book it'll cost too much to buy the individual cards).
Also, I'm making a few pages on my own, for my oldest daughter's favorite characters. Donald Duck, Belle, and Grinch for Universal. I've created my images using pictures of her with the character plus clipart plus borders, and when I go to save it as a new JPG it tells me I have to export it first, something about JPG and transperency, and then I get an alert that it has to flatten the image. It eventually saves and looks fine to me, but is there something else I should be doing to make sure it's the best possible quality? I'm using GIMP.
Thanks for any help!
