First of all I wanted to thank all who participated in Lelly's SPT challenge. You've given me a lot to think about and another push toward the goals I am trying to accomplish this year.
I apologize...I've not been so good about answering questions in the comments. Not because I don't want to, but often forget and then so much time has gone by I think what's the point. So today I thought I would answer some question that were asked in the comments from this project.
Are those on 12X12 or bigger?
This project is a two page 12x12 scrapbook layout.

Did you print the photos yourself?
No, I do have a nice printer that can print my own photos, but I usually don't because I feel it takes up a lot of ink, which is quite expensive.
Do you have to have a plan ahead of time?
I thought of doing this layout back in October when I was organizing my photos and wondered what I should do with all the contact sheets. So it really was no planning just a lot of looking through past photos. Never a chore.
What size are those photos?
The layout is made up of the photos that come on the contact sheet you are given with your photos. Contact sheets can also be created using photoshop. The smaller ones are about 1"x.5" and the bigger ones are are about 1.25"x.75" and are printed larger on the contact sheet to indicate they were enlarged.
It is a really easy project and all you need is the contact sheets, scissors, and adhesive...oh and time. It took a lot of time.
Please never hesitate to ask or email me. I am vowing to do better about answering your questions in the comments when asked so make sure to check back.
BTW, I've been thinking about doing a how to on banners. Is that something you'd be interested in?

Banner how-to, yes. I ignoranced my way through one, but am nearly ready for a makeover...
Yes...yes! A banner article....a banner article!
A banner how to would be great!
YES! Banner class 101 would be fantastic! Three cheers for Amy!
I think it is great that you share all your knowledge. A how to on banners would be great.
Have you gotten your answer yet? hehe I wish I had half your knowledge and when you share it, I always learn something! =)
I think those were all questions I asked. Or at least thought. You are awesome to answere them. I have a banner, but can't change it because it took me like 5 days to do it and I can't remember one step of it so to do it over again seems like a chore so please let us know your knowledge and we will be grateful.
Yes! Yes! Yes! I want to make a banner for my blog...how to how to!?
PLEEEEEZZZZZEEEE!!! I LOVE reading everything you write, I just soak it up. You are so talented and so knowledgeable. Thank you for sharing! Okay, so I would like to make a layout similar to the one in the post...I guess I am a little lost, where do you get your photos printed to get a contact sheet that looks that good? Do you just create them in Photoshop and then have it printed separately? Sorry for the questions...I am so lost. ;) Can't wait for a banner how to!
I would love it if you would do a Banner how-to. I have no skills for that sort of thing, and Randy isn't so agreeable about helping me very often so I need help.
Another YES! on the banner help. I blogger challenged on any given day so your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for all the pointers on the scrapbook layout. I love them.
yes, yes, yes on banners! that would be awesome! thanks for being willing to teach us so much.
I'd love your how to on banners. I created my blog and customized everything in the old blogger but can't get the html work on the new one. It is always telling me I have errors. Any tips on how to insert your banner into the new blogger with correct html would be awesome!!!
Yes on the banners! My web designer friend can't figure it out. (What?)
You know, that project really does rock. I just got into contact sheets, thanks for more inspiration!
oh and I'd love a banner class ; )
But I want to know, where did you get that pretty blue shirt you're wearing in the previous entry?
Thanks!
Creole Thanks. I got it from American Eagle right after Christmas. Don't know if they have them now or not.
Kristy in the new blogger your banner will never be without the header. I can email you examples if you'd like.
Great idea for a banner class. Thanks for the info on the contact sheet pages!
D'ohh!! I just emailed you on this exact subject, Amy, and then read this post! Now I feel a bit stupid *blush*
Yes, if we could all master creating our own banners it'd be FANTASTIC to see the eventual results!
I love your blog. Love your photography even more!
A how-to on banners would be great. I know how to create the image, but have no idea how to get it on top of my blog.
