Candy--Persnickety Prints does a great job printing 12x12 pages. So does Scrapbooks Please, which is a little cheaper and offers specials for 99 cents pretty often. Those are my two favorite companies. They're online companies, so you can google them.
{Update: Funny, as I was typing this, Lori posted another message with 2 links to scrapbook page printing companies. Her second link is for Scrapbooks Please, which is one of the companies I suggested. They're currently only charging 99 cents until August 8th--that is the best price around!! I've ordered their prints and they're good!}
I think there is a blanket shipping charge with both companies, so I usually order several at a time. I purchased a lump of credits from Persnickety which I will be using soon. All you need to do is save your file as a jpeg (3600x3600 if possible) so it will give you a good print. Then all you do is upload to the printing site (they'll walk you thru it.)
Lori--the scrapbooking fair is the VSBN (Virtual Scrapbooking Night) challenges. They were posted this weekend and you have until August 18 to finish whatever challenges you want to do. They're for both paper and digi scrappers. You have 2 hours to complete a challenge (honor system.) Then you upload to the gallery and judges will pick the winners for each challenge sometime after August 18.
You can find the VSBN link on the SCS home page, down near the bottom of the list of challenges on the right side of the page (scroll down.) For your convenience, here is the link:
Virtual Scrapbooking Night Forum - Scrapbook Meetup & Challenges.
The challenges themselves are in the third post down, but you'll want to browse some of the other links to get the gist of things. SCS has a VSBN 3-4 times a year.
For anyone who hasn't been there, a lot of us scrappers hang out in the "Goals" thread where a lot of info about upcoming events get posted. We share our ideas and pages and you can decide on a goal # of pages you'd like to try to get done each month (not required, but I find it helps!) The gals are very nice there and the support and encouragement is great. A new thread is created by Lela (lmn) at the start of each month. Here's a link to the August Goals thread which has just been started:
August 2012 Scrap Pages & Scrap Chat -- sbc12aug by Lmn at Splitcoaststampers
And, finally, here is the sub-forum I have bookmarked on my computer which takes you to
all of the scrap challenge links:

Hope this helps!
