Does anyone have the Sept. & Oct. host specials 4 to a page? I have no idea how to do it myself & would like to put them in my mini catalogs before mailing out. Thanks!:love:
 
I don't have the full page ones (no conference for me this year). If you can post the full pages - I can make a 4-up for you.

bumping...please help
 
Working on it now...
 
I was able to get an OK image from the thumbnails. So I am not sure how important it is that all the details are readable. I think this is as clear as I can get from the thumbnails.

Can't attach right now from work. I'll attach when I get home.
 
There have been so many requests for this - can someone teach me how they do it? (Or at least give me some clue - what program you use, basic tools used, whatever... maybe I do know how to do it, but don't know I know how, you know?) ;)

That is my situation. I'm sure I could figure it out but just don't take the time. I thought it would be nice to put in the mini catalogs before mailing them out. 4 to a page, front & back, so not too much work is being done.
 
Here you go! It seems as though the Word files were too large to load. I am sure the pdfs will work fine. If someone really wants the Word versions, I can email....

I use Word. I took the thumbnails, pasted them in Word, made it 2 column 2 deep. Not sure if you want more info...let me know.

Thanks!

Here is what I did for last Spring. I combined the March/April to one side of the paper that can be cut to the exact width of the mini. I then could fold it in half and stick in the mini to mail. I will be making one soon for Sept/Oct.

That was my hold up - I use the ones HO puts on the website - but Sept and Oct aren't posted there yet so I do not know where the jpgs came from. Where are you getting the Guest Specials? I made a 3 col format (Aug/Sept/Oct) and posted it under another thread. But it is full page, so I don't know if that is what you want. And I cut and paste my own pics and it is not the official layout from HO.
 
WOW!!! And I was yelling. Thanks so much for sharing! This is great.

I might like that better. Sorry to be such a pain. I'm just not real computer literate. I'll check back when you have those done too. Thanks for all your hard (or maybe easy for you:D) work.
