When I saved the heart and printed it out, the heart is cut off on the top and bottom. Not too computer savvy here so not sure what I am supposed to do. Any help would be appreciated. Also, I see that you wrote all CARDS are due on Feb. 14th. Do we pick either a heart or a card to design or does the heart go on the card? Bleh for being challenged! @HOST_Duchess

Quick question - for hand drawn submissions is the printed outline necessary? I don't normally draw on printer paper so I would probably trace it instead?

Hmm.. I might enter this one again. I had fun with it last Valentines Day. I skipped the Snowglobe one this past winter due to lack of time but I have more time right now for this one. Wishing a wonder filled Valentines Day to all reading this and may you all enjoy making your entries! YAY! :rose::rose::rose:

Try to check your printing settings. There should be an option to "fit image to page" or have it print down smaller to fit onto your printer paper. As for the designs, either one! You do not need to do both or include one on the other. Two templates are provided to allow users to choose which type of card they'd rather do!
what are the best websites to submit the image from?
Imgur, Tinypic, and Postimage are all pretty easy to use and do not require accounts to upload.

Tracing it should be okay! As long as it's the same shape as the templates, all is good!

How do I even begin? No clue...
You can download the template image. From there, you can print it and hand draw/decorate it. Or you can use programs on your computer like paint, sai, photoshop, gimp, etc, to decorate it! Once completed, you can upload it using the sites I mentioned in a post above. Then you post it in the private forum link located on the main post!

is there a required theme? like disney-inspired heart or just regular valentines-y stuff?
It's up to whatever kind of valentine card you desire to create! Disney, non-disney, whatever floats your boat!
