What did I do wrong?

[usaf_wife10]

I wanted to print out some papers (from the cutesy christmas kit). I had to resize some of the papers (wanted 1.5x7 inch strips). I shrunk the papers down, then cropped them. Then I added the strips to a 5x7 canvas then printed on a 5x7 photo paper, and they all came out blurry!

Now I'm worried that my regular digi scrap pages are going to come out blurry when I get them printed. Does anyone know what went wrong? Has anyone had blurry pages?

Was the 5x7 file set at 300dpi? I don't know what else it might be...

when you resize and crop you need to maintain the proportions. If you alter the proportions you could make it blurry because you've taken an area designed to be a certain size and changing it up. I wish I knew how to use your program so I could help you do this without that problem.
