I’m on the final days of posts from my Italian vacation. I promise only a few more!! I do hope you’ve enjoyed them. Thought I’d let you in on a little secret to make good use of your travel photos.

Multiple Cappuccinos tell a good friend I miss her. |
Some of you know I am a collage artist. Well, you don’t need to be an artist to take some of your best photos and make them into a set of cards for your friends for the holidays. They’ll have such a personal touch and believe me when I say your pals will appreciate them. How much do you love getting a handwritten letter these days-right!
- Have 5 of your best shots made into 4” X 6” prints. You could do this on your computer if you have a good printer.
- Decide about your themes-Thank You, Miss You, General etc.
- Gather together papers, magazines, elements to use in the collage along with some Modge Podge.
- Purchase recycled card “blanks”{cards & envelopes} from a craft store. They usually come 50 to a pack.
- Get Busy….

- After the cards are all collaged, scan them onto your computer and either print out the finished product on photo paper or have them professionally made into photos.
- Attach the photos to your cards {sign them in the bottom right had corner since you’ve channeled your inner artist} and viola-a gift from the heart!
