Using Photos on Bookmarks

Have you ever taken a photo and wondered what other things you could do with it? I experimented with some photos to see if I could use them on some bookmarks. The bookmarks may be used if I go into more family photography.

This first photo was taken of two girls sitting in the snow watching other children. You don't see their faces, but it still tells a story, and you might be wondering what they are watching or doing.

I took this photo and played with the crop tool. I set the crop tool to 6x2 inches, and selected the crop from the picture. You have to show the crop handles, and then extend it using the handles on the crop. Then you can add other items to the bookmark.

 I like this next photo. It shows one of the girls looking back, and you can see that they are both eating apples, probably the only reason they are sitting so still.

I took this photo and did the same thing with the crop tool to make a 6x2 inch bookmark. I also used the gradient tool to blend the edge of the photo on to the bookmark. This makes it look neater.

So ... I'm not sure where I'm going with this, but thought it would be good to put my experiments on my blog. Maybe it will help me make up my mind as I look to what I am doing next.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, 

and lean not unto your own understanding; 

in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

Proverbs 3:5,6
