Capturing those creative concepts

Easter is over.  After each holiday or other potentially recurring event, I do a paper postmortem:  What worked?  What didn’t?  What would I change next time around?  I love new ideas AND I also adore having the basics in place as starting points for the following year. 

In the past, I’ve made mini albums for reference. This year I’m trying something new:  a collage of my favorites using Picasa, Google’s free software application for organizing, editing and sharing digital photos.  If you, too, are using Picasa, collage creation couldn't be easier.  If you haven't discovered this digital opportunity, consider downloading it and trying it out for yourself. 

Here's how:  Open the application/Picasa and click on or highlight the pictures you'd like to include in your collage.  Obviously, the more pictures you include, the smaller each image will be. 

If I were to do this again, I'd increase grid spacing as shown below.

Superimposed on card stock, collages make terrific personalized note cards.  Today, it turns out, is Don's Big Day! Happy BD, Don!!! 

More images and specific instructions tomorrow/enjoying house guests, friends and family events.
