Everbody's suggestions are bang on--I've had (and sometimes still do) the same issue as you. I just recently stopped using my rulers b/c now I can kinda guess.

My first few LO's I scraplifted so that I could see would the proportions should be. You could try that (just give proper credit).

The other thing I did was to do a few 8x10 LO's and have them printed right away so that you can actually see the proportion in real life. It made a big difference in how I view my computer screen, knowing that the pic really isn't that small after all. Sometimes a brain just need concrete evidence.

A finally, don't delete! I still have a folder of 'current projects', some dating back almost 6 months. I just knew I had a good idea, I just couldn't translate it at the time. So when frustration sets in, I just file it and move on.

HTH, and it does get a whole lot easier!
