I don't know who decided on the size, but 3600 pixels x 3600 is a standard digital scrapbook size due to the standard paper scrapbook size is 12 inches x 12.

Michele,

Did you see this:

Hello  Carol and all members,

I'm Doska (nickname from first, last name and city). Jenifer already told me something about you, but because I'm still working with Photo Impact X3, I thought I couldn't take part here. But now I'm considering maybe getting a PSP because I'm afraid that with the next WIN 11 or 12 my beloved PI will no longer work. And I love digital scrapbooking, it's still my only hobby.

I'm 72, have already celebrated my golden wedding anniversary (sept22), worked in emergency medicine for decades as an intensive care and... Anesthesia nurse, volunteering with my husband in the emergency services and now volunteer fire brigade (friends of my age) doing digital scrapbooking with PI-X3 since 2005. Before my PC days (since 1996) I drew. I love animals and have had cats and a dog as pets. I also have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, since HE speak with me 2013..

I would like to ask whether I can still show my PI works until I take a course? I'm also on Merisa Lerin's DigitalScrapbook forum.

Thank you for the invitations Carol and Jenifer, I hope we have fun and I learn new things.

Kind regards
Doska

Hi, Doska! Great to see you here! If you decide to switch to PSP, you'll be able to use that template you asked about at Digital Scrapbooking. You are in the perfect place to learn PSP...Carole is the best! Welcome!

Bonnie I love your idea to feature the beauties of the National Parks of Utah, the photos are stunning and pay tribute to the region! I would love to see it for myself, maybe when I visit my family in the States again in the future.

Corrie, it is a beautiful area and very different from the east coast where I live. I never had more than a day or 2 to explore but over the years I saw a good bit. The Huntsman Games are in St. George, Utah...the southwest corner of Utah. St. George was our base. Once we saw Zion, Bryce (twice) and Grand Canyon all in one day. We were treated to a full moon rising over Bryce...amazing. All my photos of that event are very grainy.

Bonnie, your photos are fabulous. In this case, I think I would put the photo of the rocks on the top and the signage on the bottom. Just my opinion.

That's a great idea, Ann! Thank you!

Day 7...I went in a completely different direction than Carole suggested. I used her filmstrip script. Featured are many of the other beauties of Utah!

Day 6

This is my favorite of my pages. Petroglyphs are found many places and they fascinate me. These page show just a small part of Utah's beauty.

Day 5

This is my least favorite of my pages but it was a fun hike to this formation.

Day 4

Double page

Zion National Park

Day 3

Hoodoos are spires, one of which is Queen Victoria formation.

Day 2

Bryce Canyon National Park is my favorite.

The small graphic on the lower right says, "The Queen Victoria formation is one example of many pinnacles, spires and walls named for famous personalities or man made features. It is even now changing in appearance and will slowly disappear as erosion continues." 

I had a difficult time getting started as I kept changing topics. This turned out very different than I planned. For many years my basketball team and I would compete in the Huntsman Senior Games. There are the Utah State Games and they are huge...over 10,000 athletes from the USA and 26 countries. Some years we went to the games, played and returned home. My favorite years were when we stayed and visited National and State Parks in Utah. I planned on highlighting basketball but put all my attention on  the beauty of Utah.
