SU 2009 Catalog Supplies List - Large font/no graphics/quick download

[jlfstudio]

Hi All,

Here's a graphics stripped file you can email to friends or customers who would like a copy of the supplies list without downloading from SU. With the graphics thumbnails stripped out this text version is quite tiny to send (though about 35 pages to print).

I love the graphics and encourage customers to download their own (or I burn them a cheap CD verion) but since we never had the thumbnails before not a great deal is lost for those clamoring for a list.

The format is a bit different since I got rid of the columns and enlarged the type size and changed the font. These changes added to the size of the print document but at least no magnifying glass is needed.

Enjoy! And happy new catalog day! - Jean


Oops sorry guys the first file I posted was the wrong one. Here's the correct one.

What a wonderful thing to do! It must have taken you hours; thanks for sharing, my customers will be so happy.

[ScrappinGalz]

Wow! Thank you!

[McSusie]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! You've made my day and in turn will make my customers very happy!

[monniegirl]

Thanks so much for sharing!!!!

thank you so much for sharing all your hard work

Thanks all for the kind words.

I'm glad you are finding the file helpful. If you find any problems or think of any tweaks let me know.

I should probably confess that this was strictly a cut and paste job that my friend Cheryl and I kinda stumbled into between the two of us. I've gotten a few notes asking how long it took to type the whole thing in and while I'd love to pass as a wonder typist, this job was done in a couple of hours (mostly tweaking the format) using mostly clicks of a mouse. Any competent techie with more current software would have had it nailed in under 20 minutes I'm sure. Cheryl deserves my gratitude for reminding me what some of the buttons on the bottom of the Word screen are there for as I was pulling my hair out over making it format the way I wanted to see it.

Note to self stop growing old and forgetting how to use software that's been around forever (just like me)!

Also gotta say I love your avatar klawster and the handle. With my two kitties I can relate. They aren't hard on the furniture just each other and my skin and clothes. Same kind of look as Mommy leaves the house whether its for 1 minute or 1 week. Sandycat would also have a similar look if the frig had glass doors! - lol!

One last cool trick you can do with Word and the original SU Supplies sheet. It's possible to right click on the picture thumbnails, select copy and then paste the image into a Word document. The thumbnails (at least on my copy of Word) automatically get bigger and then you can copy and paste the text and Voila a project sheet in formation to give to customers or file for yourself. Nice little benefit to stick in an order bag or email to a customer. Also works for adding to a blog or DBWS site.

Hugs and blessings fellow stampers. - Jean

I had to adjust Jean's file because my printer can't print as close to the bottom of the page as hers. I thought I might as well adjust some other things as well. So...here is my file. I used Jean's (THANK YOU for all your hard work!) and put it in 2 columns, different, smaller font (though not as small as the catty--still easily readable) and put spaces in between the pages so you can see the page numbers easier. (oops...I missed one of those!)

I printed mine back to back...took 12 sheets of paper and I can read it great!

Again, Jean, THANKS for your hard work!

Wow Diane this list is terrific. I knew someone with better Word skills would come up with improvements. Back to back printing makes sense too as well as saving paper. Very readable even with the smaller font. Mine was a quick and dirty attempt that I never went back to clean up since it worked (the story of my life - lol).

Can't wait to pass this one on to my customers. Thanks for sharing! - Jean

[fawall]

This is great - thanks.

Thank for doing this, I was wondering why there was not a supply list in the back of my catalog.

[jlfstudio]

Hi Ginger,

SU decided to make downloads of the supplies list available online so that thumbnail images could be made available for each project (something too expensive given the number of pages and color artwork that are involved), and so that more new products like the Big Shot and samples from the Decor Line could be included in the main catalog without raising the price of the catalog.

It took SU awhile to get those downloads working with their new software and computer and the images made the file to large to email to customers and friends so that's why I posted my quick and dirty list without images. SU has now posted a very nice text only file for download on their customer site at this link:

Whichever list works for you should be a helpful tool to use with the Idea book and catalog. If you download the files from SU you might want to burn a copy to a CD-Rom so you will have a permanent file for future use.

SU is evaluating this change in the catalog so if you have an opinion drop them an email or give them a call and let them know what you think!

Enjoy the new catalog!

Hugs and blessings - Jean
