Mega Kit  Instructions: Cindy and Ginny will be doing the themes and colors for the mega kits now but  these rules still apply.

New Page for a Guide to Making Elements April 4, 2008 this is for those new ladies to give you an idea of how big to make things.

Respect copy  write. Do you know where the images you are using came from? If you did not create it yourself then someone holds the copy write. Please make your own objects and background papers.

Each month's kit will be based on the monthly color palette and theme posted in the Scrapbooking Forum.

Sign up to participate in the monthly mega-kit at the PhotoImpact International Scrapbooking Forum.

We are doing this in a Round Robin style

The first person on the list will use the color palette as a starting point and make ANY component of the kit they wish. They will post a sample in the forum when complete [500x500pixels]. The second person will then design the next component of the kit based off of the first person's and the color palette (ex;- ribbons, fibers, photo mattes, tags, word art, etc).  until we get to the last person on the list! Try to complete your objects in three days time. Just let me know if you can't. You may use another persons papers to make a matching frame or tag etc. if you wish.

Each contributor can make as much or as little as they wish to add to the kit. Sometimes frames can get real big in KB's maybe make 1 different or unusual one instead of 6.
We are enhancing what the previous girl or girls, have turned in. Always look at what has been done before you.

Additional Guidelines:
-Make any papers 8.5x11 at 200 dpi. Limit is full 2 sheets per person and not to exceed 2 MB when zipped. You can submit a seamless tile also for papers. [400x400 pixel size limit] Submit in .jpg format on your tiles and paper.

-Please make all components at 200 dpi to be compatible for printing.

-Make sure any elements designed are at a size compatible for a 8.5x11.
-Save all elements as a transparent .png or .ufo if necessary but watch the size in KB's. Make a zip file of your submission and email it to Ginny or Cindy the post at the forum will tell you which one.

-Always include a way of contacting you on the things you make to share.

Name your zip files: Your name/initials-sept08mk-item the 08 is for the year as I now have more than two years of mega kits up.

Your separate items should be named:  Example: re-sept08-tags02 [name the item and number if necessary] you may use initials instead of your name~ re-sept08-tags05 If you have different kinds of items in one zip call them elements01 or elements 02 etc.  if you wish.

Make a page no larger on biggest side of 600 pixels .jpg showing all you made and post it to the SB Forum as a New Topic, show Sept. Mega Kit and your name in the subject line.

Have a great time creating!

There are 2 links that explain dpi Cindy posted February 25th 2007. Very interesting information and which did make us decide to change some of the above sizes.
