Let's see if I can explain how I did the collage:<br />I have some linen digital paper that I downloaded from The Background Fairy (www.backgroundfairy.com). It's the same linen that is my blog background. In Photoshop Elements, I created an image sized 950 pixels x 950 pixels and added the linen background to it. This made a plain linen square image. <br /><br />Then I created the collage using Picasa (this is a free photo editing program available from Google). In order for it to have 6 photos across and 6 photos down, I included the linen square "picture" 5 times in the collage since I only had 31 photos but I wanted 36 squares. <br /><br />When I set the color for the lines in between the photos, I just used the eyedropper tool and had it select the same color as the linen square.<br /><br />I saved the collage so that the 6 linen squares lined up on the top row to the left of the first picture.<br /><br />Next, I opened the collage in Photoshop and created a rectangle that would fit over the row of 5 linen squares. I made the background of the rectangle the same linen, then added the text and the little birdie. <br /><br />That's it. Now...if this makes NO sense at all, please let me know and I'll try to explain it better! Thanks for visiting my blog and for your sweet comments.<br />CatherineAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13907928111018345039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8784387671377404198.post-10792111170587480712012-04-09T14:16:44.536-06:002012-04-09T14:16:44.536-06:00So fun to see your month in review!
