This may take a few attempts, and a little practice. </li><li> Drag the widgets so that the title falls just under the top margin. </li><li> You may also have to fiddle a bit with the various line thicknesses (see the pulldown at top left) to get it looking right. </li></ol> I haven't tried this yet, but I imagine it should work, with a little bit of tweaking. The good thing about a source kit like this is that you have the "raw materials" to do something like this yourself, as opposed to the PDF versions. dj David, I’m working on getting this to a 1.0 release in 5.5×8.5 format, since that’s my base format from whence everything else is done. However, you should be able to make a Hipster version on your own:

  1. Set the page dimensions to 3″ wide by 5″ high, with a margin of 1/4″.
  2. Select the whole page of Widgets, grab a corner handle, and while holding down the shift key (this keeps the right proportions), resize until it fits into the left and right margins. This may take a few attempts, and a little practice.
  3. Drag the widgets so that the title falls just under the top margin.
  4. You may also have to fiddle a bit with the various line thicknesses (see the pulldown at top left) to get it looking right.

I haven’t tried this yet, but I imagine it should work, with a little bit of tweaking. The good thing about a source kit like this is that you have the “raw materials” to do something like this yourself, as opposed to the PDF versions.

I would hope you might be persuaded to put the the forms you already have in a formate where they could be edited in draw or similar. I love your templates, and I am horrible at layout. If I could make tiny changes to your existing disigns, my life would be so much easier. Simple things, but leaving most of the existing design. Creating your templates from scratch from the widget is pretty daunting for me. So hopefully for us more design challenged, you might consider this at some point. And it would mean even more templates on the page. :) Thanks for your great work! You rock, I cannot wait for the new site with all the templates.
