CREATE GREETING CARDS FROM YOUR PHOTOS
Everyone seems to have a digital camera, and the price of printing photos has really
gone down while the cost of greeting cards has gone up. Why not use your own photos
to make some special and unique greeting cards yourself? You can further individualize
the cards with personal greetings inside. Have some fun with your camera and take photos
of Christmas ornaments, close-up photos of flowers or any objects you think will translate
into a greeting card. Bring prints of your subjects to class, and we will assemble them into greeting
cards on colored stock and envelopes. Lots of tips and techniques will be shared in class.
