This is my first attempt at a CTMH Studio J layout. I did a test image and only purchased the jpg for $2.95, then I printed it out on my printer at home. I have a Canon Pixma i7000 printer which can print on 13 x 19 paper. Overall, I am happy with it, but I think it could look better with a coated stock. I am using a matte photo paper which has a bit too much dot gain for me. I am also playing with color profiles to see if that helps, too.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Deb

The ScrapRack
A friend of mine turned me onto the ScrapRack. I went back and forth with the idea of purchasing one and finally decided to take the plunge. While I love the idea of the 4 section system, I am not sure I like the ScrapRack itself. I am still undecided. I want to give it some time and work with it, but I have some reservations. Here are my initial opinions and impressions.
1. The spinders are not as durable as I thought them to be. I have 3 ring binders that when the locking tabs are locked, nothing gets them open. Yet, I have my pages falling out of the spinders all the time.
2. The pages are flimsy. I have the old Creative Memories pages and it is night/day to how the SR pages are. I do not have any other style pages, so I cannot comment on how they compare to other manufactures.
3. In January 2013, I purchased a 50 super size single package of pages before I purchased the ScrapRack. Now I have gone through them and I'm trying to order more, but it is no longer listed on their website and they have yet to answer any emails/calls I have left regarding this.
4. Their website could be A LOT better. It lacks a professional look and feel.
5. I am also ready to expand, but due to their lack of attention/response, I am hesitant to invest any more money.
Like I said earlier, I really want to give this a try, but I need to get organized to see if I really like this product or not. I saw someone else had said they like the system but use a series of binders/albums and not the rack itself. I may try that route if I can't get a response from them.
Let me know what your likes/dislikes if you own a ScrapRack.
Thanks,
Deb

- The pages are not over filled as they are all less than 20 pages per spinder.
- I have the base unit set up as directed. It is not set up upside down.

5 x 7 OE
I recently created a 4.5 x 4.5" card and wanted to create an envelope in which to mail the card. Since the post office charges a surcharge (I believe $.20) to mail a square envelope, I wanted to make a true 5 x 7 OE. This will not hold a 5 x 7 card, but it will hold my 4.5" square card.
Using the Martha Stewart Score Board, I took stock that is 9.375 x 9.375 square. Scored at 3.125 and 4.125 and viola... a 5 x 7 OE.
Just thought I shared, since I did some calculations and trial and error to figure this out.
