Can ANYONE please help....

[heidi baldini]

I 'm looking for a print company to print some designs I've done up onto 12x12 scrapbooking paperfor me. I have googled & googled but have had no luck :confused: I didn't think this would be such a hard thing to find. I want these to be good quality just like the ones we all buy :-)
Thanks!

[heidi baldini]

oh yeah!
I used corel paint shop. Don't know if that helps????

Our local scrapbook store does custom printed paper with words/fonts on them, I'm not sure if they can do other stuff. Might be worth a try though.
Scrapbook Superstore: Here is a link to their site: http://www.scrapbooksuperstore.net/

What about doing it yourself? If you have 13" printer you can load 12x12 cardstock into and print away.

Sorry, I can't help. Just wanted to let you know I read your request though.

Any luck Heidi?

Heidi , Kinkos has all kinds of papers that would work.
or are you talking about having paper printed in large quatities to distribute and sell ?

[stampin-sunnychick]

I know I have heard of some companies that are online that print out 12x12 pages. There are several that do so for people who do digi scrapping...Oh I know of someone to send you to. I will send you a pm with the deets.

[Barb]

Tracy I wanna know too!

[stampin-sunnychick]

Ok. I will find out the deets and post it here...I know some gals that will know all the info. I used to know...but I'm not sure if I still have links or not.

[heidi baldini]

Thanks! Tracy!!

Norma-Yes, I was thinking of selling them but I don't know if it will be worth it for me.
I've came up w/ some really cute designs w/ paint shop. I would buy them lol!! That would be a dream of mine to design my own paper line! {{DREAM}} ;-)
I know some companies like Prima have people to design for them. What a sweet deal that would be!!! Too bad I don't have any graphic design know how lol!

[heidi baldini]

Any luck Heidi?

I am waiting for a quote now from a company I came accross online. :)

[Kristen]

I'd like that info too.

The unfortunate thing about Kinko's and places like that is they do not have flat bed scanners or copy machines that can print 12 x 12. The can up up to 17 or so inches on one side but only up to 11 inches on the other. They have the big plotters but I don't think you can run your paper (like a 12 x 12 piece of cardstock) through them. They may have bigger scanners but I'm just not sure about the paper you can run through them. I looked and looked on google and tried to find info on this and I can't find anything anywhere.

[heidi baldini]

Hey girls! Check out my blog. I put one of my fav paper designs I made up! Let me know what you think. It's got butterflies on it. :-)

[heidi baldini]

Well, I just got the quote. $84.00 for 30 shts!!!!
Not what I'm looking to spend lol!

[debbiedee]

that's an expensive sheet of patterned paper!

[Norma Kennedy]

Hey Heidi beautiful design. I just checked it out. Submit it any ways to companys like Prima. You never know if you dont submit it. I have been playing around and submitting my work too ! Wishing you lots of luck !

[Kristen]

The purple butterfly paper is very pretty. I am going to pm a person I know. She was involved with a new company that was going to start up. Then something happened and the owner suddenly sold her business. I'll ask where she was having the papers printed up.

[heidi baldini]

Norma~ you really think I should? I mean I don't even have a resume of any kind. What type of things have you been submitting? Designs you've made?

Thanks Kristen!

[stampinmomof2cuties]

Heidi, your butterfly paper is beautiful!

[heidi baldini]

Heidi, your butterfly paper is beautiful!

Thanks!!

I've made tons of papers!!! It's so much fun playing w/ all the different combos! I need to be doing more scrappin & less computer time lol!

[Kristen]

So my friend got back with me and I am waiting to hear from one more person. She said that the company they were going to use was in Utah. She said all the big scrapbook companies are based in Utah. To keep the price down though you would have to order a ton of paper and that would cost a lot. Sorry I can't be more help. I would call some established companies and see if they would be interested looking at your designs and if they are then you can email them some samples of your work.

[Norma Kennedy]

Norma~ you really think I should? I mean I don't even have a resume of any kind. What type of things have you been submitting? Designs you've made?

Thanks Kristen!

Heidi, dont limit your self to paper you are better than that ! I have owned many buisness and have never hired purely on a resume. Most of the time they are inflated and exagerated. Many companys realize that and are willing to look at work and talent. Find a company that you feel your work may be compatible in style with and send away. Whats the worst they can tell you kiddo... No .
Nothing to lose ! Many Hugs !!!!

[heidi baldini]

Yeah, I took it down because I've started emailing companies asking them if they would be interested in seeing any of my designs. Two of them have emailed me back. One said they were not looking for designs but would keep be in mind. The other said they would like to see some samples!! :D I guess I shouldn't get too excited yet they haven't even seen them lol!! :p

Thanks for all the ideas & kind words ladies! {{{HUGS}}}
