DIY custom Christmas Cards, Birth Announcements, Cards etc.






Did you know that you can create beautiful custom pieces in the comfort of your own home...It is really simple and easy. Picasa is an image organizer and viewer for your digital photos owned by Google. Free to download, and awesome results.

I know there are so many options out there to create beautiful Christmas cards, but do you know you can create your own with Picasa?   The benefits are that you can use as many photos as you want, and say whatever you’d like.  The possibilities are endless...Christmas Cards, Birth announcements, birthday cards, greeting cards etc..  The drawback is that you can use as many photos as you want and the options are endless. So an neurotic person like myself, this took forever doing the font selection as well as the image itself. 

To start:
Select an image...


Then you have multiple options to edit the photo including color options...I love 1960's.


Image after edit with 1960's


Now the fun part... Add text with the wrench icon "text"


Selecting my text options took a while, but then again i am only slightly neurotic. :)



Final product...




And then I uploaded this image and had it printed as a flat image print from Costco, and bought some natural paper envelopes...and viola. 


Have fun,
