Dottie and George Creations

**Jane Toomer** · 28-04-2008, 02:52 PM

I wonder if anyone can help me! I purchased SportsGeorge and DottieatHome this morning and when I print them out I'm losing the edges - so poor Knitting Dotty only had half a cat and no ties on her hammock etc. Am I doing something wrong??? I opened the file and pressed "print" and just OK'd everything but even on the print previews the edges are missing!! Getting VERY frustrated as I can't seem to rectify it! Hopefully someone will know what I'm doing wrong! Thank you!

In your print program does it have a box marked crop to fit and then a tick in the box, if it does you need untick the box then it should print fully HTH

Thanks Jac - will give that a go now!

That worked - thank you - thought it would be something easy like that - duh!!!

Glad you got sorted

For future use you might find it easier to try it thew way I do it.
Open a new Microsoft word document and insert it as a picture from your file. That way it's easy to resize it and to put more than one on a page.
Be sure to put your finished creations on here so we can have a look.

Well I was trying to do it that way too but once the microsoft document was opened and I was "inserting", I couldn't find the files - goodness knows why cos they are definitely there!! lol I might try saving one of the pics in a different way and then I might be able to do it this way too! Thanks for all your help

Glad you got it sorted. I open mine in my graphis programme PSE5 and then resize iand print from there.

Great cards Jane, love the mines a pint tag!

**Louly** · 28-04-2008, 11:06 PM

Brilliant! I love the tag too, what a quirky finishing touch.

Here's a quickie I did today, my first hybrid card! I was inspired by Jac's backing paper idea.

**craftymama** · 28-04-2008, 11:15 PM

Love it really vibrant and happy.

Glad I could inspire you feel like I've given something back now.

here is my latest Dottie creation, couldnt resist giving her a bit of a christmas twist,

somehow I think she may be appearing on a number of my christmas cards this year!

**Louly** · 30-04-2008, 12:39 PM

Oh that's soooo cool! Doesn't she look great in that green dress. There should be some Christmas sets coming out in a month or so (eek!

) Also, look out for some totally different downloads on the way very soon

This one is based around an idea I saw in simply cards & papercraft mag using cd's as gifts but mine isn't removable! liked the idea though and then along came Dottie too!

(ps have downloaded the fabulous Dottie at work too, I am becoming seriously addicted to these!

just need more hours in my day!)
