I created this layout of Christmas using My Minds Eye Paper and embellishments along with images from the Silhouette online store. I still can not believe how great the Silhouette cuts such detailed images! I wanted to use multiple pictures on my layout, but didn't want it to be photo heavy. I haven't quite mastered the Photoshop program yet to make collages, so I usually just create collages from Walgreens and then trim my pictures down. That works fine for some things, but the pictures aren't always the same size and it can cost several dollars for a collage. When I was roaming around a forum on Two Peas in a Bucket, I came across a post about using Picasa from Google to create collages. That was a great find! It is a FREE service and all you do is create your collage in whatever size you want (4X6, 5X7, etc.) , save it to your picture library and have it printed wherever you get your prints printed! I did these pictures in 4X6 size and it only cost me 15 cents to have it printed. I trimmed them apart and they worked perfect for this layout. Thanks for stopping by!
