Hi everyone!

I've finally jumped in and registered. Since school just started and I teach, I won't be able to post much until a school holiday. However, I wanted to join Anna Aspnes celebration! I started paper scrapping years ago and then in 2009 I took a cruise with my daughter and her family and I wanted to do a scrapbook and be able to share it, so I ventured into digital format. And I haven't returned to paper since. Feel completely head over heels for digital scrapbooking. My style has changed dramatically since that first one, but enjoy learning and progressing and I love all things Anna and her style.

We are keeping dry here in north TX, but almost everyone knows someone whose house in under water in south TX and praying for their situations. My brother-in-law and his wife were rescued last night from their second story where they had retreated before first floor eventually reached waist high. Complete stranger/volunteer came in a canoe, got them to a high profile truck, and were taken to another good Samaritan's house to be fed and have a bed. Please pray for everyone stranded in Houston and other towns. Thanks!

I can't figure out how to shrink a psd to jpg small enough to post a layout. I've tried resize image size with no luck. I got 1.1MB down to 570KB, but can't get it down to 250KB. Help please. I've searched everywhere I can find with no luck. I think I knew once, but can't remember.

Welcome to Oscraps! Glad you are safe with the current situation in TX.

What software are you using? This is how you can do it in photoshop. Flatten your layers and then resize using "save for web" shortcut is Shift+Control+ALT and "s" (all depressed at the same time) to bring up the dialog box. Here's a sample of it.

I keep my vaues under 235 K (see bottom left). Hope this helps you.
