    No problem! Sometimes the simple things trip me up, so just doublechecking!
    I know I had a problem with my ad blocker before hiding buttons, so I had to make Lilypad safe.

    For whatever reason, my day 20, Simple Template, showed up in the gallery twice and I don't see a delete button anywhere to remove one of them. Can someone please remove one for me?? Thanks so much!!!!

    I should know this from last year, but posting just to the gallery and the MOC threads doesn't count, right? I also have my own thread that I should be posting to? How do I find it?

    Thanks!

    your own thread is here
    https://the-lilypad.com/forum/threads/mama-shades-layouts.46507/
    and you can bookmark it for easy finding
    and it looks like you are posting there already?
    I may be confusing your question.
    so lets clarify

    1. post to gallery with credits
    2. copy page photo (from gallery-for ease use the share bb(img) code) to the challenge thread
    3. make a new post in your Layout thread for each challenge completed. do not make a post without a posted page.

    smile and wait for next challenge

    Thank you @AnneofAlamo and @bestcee - I'm guessing I just post each new layout as a reply. It's like childbirth - I forget how to do it when it's all done :)

    for reals...lol, I am mom thru adoption, and I always wondered why women had more kids after the first (pain) now I know, ya'll forget...tee hee

    and to make it easier for Julie, it helps so much if you put the day of challenge and the name of the challenge:
    ex:
    day 7-collage or 20 photos or more

    It'll go fast Sarah! Just open 2 tabs - one for your gallery, and one for your thread!

    @Mama Shades an easy peasy way, is to go to gallery, look under pull down menu Your Content, open a new tab for each one.
    then
    just take the code on the right side
    [​IMG]
    The circled option is the big photo. Perfect for Challenge Threads.
    The arrow is a thumbnail version. I've used this in my MOC challenge thread, or if I scraplift, I like to use the thumbnail link in my credits.

    When you go to your forum post, you just paste the code you copied above. No need to press any other buttons. It'll look like this:
    [​IMG]
    And will magically change to your layout once you post!
    then you can just copy, paste and reply
    copy paste etc

    The newsletter leads to this thread with the words "Click here to register now" for MOC. Is there somewhere we actually need to register, or does having your thread with the layouts and following the rules for each one count? I'm a little confuzzled on this. =)

    Hi! I've never made an art doll before, and I have VERY limited experience with both templates and PSE12 (I had not used either before this MOC). So... I have PSE12 open, I've downloaded the doll template, I opened a dress, but I can't figure out how to resize the dress. As a matter of fact, I don't know how to resize any elements. What am I missing?

    ETA: Ok, I think I've figured that out... I used that "Recompose Tool" to resize it. Let me know if that wasn't the right way to do it...

    EATA: Ugh. No. That worked on a journal card, but when I tried to resize the doll dress, it got all crazy mis-shapen. Bleh.

    I'm not familiar with PSE, but in PS resizing (scaling) an element is done on the active layer using "Edit" > "Transform". You can make sure to keep the proportions the same by holding shift while dragging a corner of the bounding box, or by making sure the chain link icon between the width and height is checked while you drag.

    Alternatively, you can type new values in the height/width boxes instead of dragging the bounding box. Again, that chain will keep the proportions true.

    I hope that helps. Hopefully a PSE user can give more specific instructions for that program if it's different. :)
