Excited newbie!

I happened upon digital scrapbooking while posting on a new mommies' board and I love it! I just finished my first layout and it's so cute! I have a quick questions. I'm using the Adobe PSE3 trial. I put a stroke (outline) selection border around my journaling box. Then I saved. Then I decided I wanted to make the box smaller. Now I can't seem to get rid of or resize the border. There is a black outline floating around my journaling box. Can anyone help? Thank you!

If you saved and closed the layout, you can't use undo.

What you are going to have to do is make a new "Journaling Box" and delete the old one. You can only do this if the layout is still in a file with layers. If you flattened, or changed the layout to a jpeg, the layers are gone and there is no way to fix your problem.

I don't know what other people do, but I save my layouts in three versions. The original Photoshop file, a full sized jpeg for printing from, and a smaller jpeg for posting to my gallery here. Yes, I know that takes space on my hard drive, but I can always move the old stuff to CDs, and since I try to make organized backups, they are already on CDs now. CDs are cheap.

One of the reasons I never get rid of the file with the labels is so I can fix minor problems. Sometimes you don't see the problem until you have printed the layout. As long as you have the file with the layers, you can fix it.
