Thank you for the measurements on your blog. I did cut it out once and my little boxes were two small for the outer box. I hadn't played with the sizing yet, so thanks for doing all the work for me. Now I gotta cut a couple more boxes, I just have to say that the people on this forum are awesome.

I can't get the inside boxes to fit in the box.
What size should I put in the measurements so they come out right?
the box on right of scal where you input sizes is confusing to me... Height width
I have the expressions and would like as big as I can get. Would some one tell me how to do this?
here is a pic

If you are using my file:
When I created the file, I assumed the inside little boxes would be 3" squares when finished.

So the top would be 9.404 x 9.404

Bottom would be 9.50 x 9.50

and the inside pieces should be 6.113 x 6.113

If you are using HeatherM's file, on her web site she give dimensions too.

Thank you so much for giving the measurements.....Heather gives height and not width, and that is why I asked for help. I am so bad at measurements and if its not (spelled out exactly for me )than I can't do it.
I have cut this at your measurements and it came out perfect.
Thanks Again
Jan

Jan,
If you check the "Keep Proportions" box and enter a number for the height, the width will scale proportionately and vice versa.

Jan,
The heights for my files were given more for SCAL1 than SCAL2. If you have SCAL2 the files should import at the size needed for a 6x6 box. If you have SCAL1, you can set the default height at the height I listed before importing the file and the files will import with the correct proportions. Though for this set of my files the height and width are the same.

As Todd said, If you want to resize the boxes, just make sure that "Keep proportions" is checked and the width will take care of itself. HTH
