Ideas of what to do with my sons' artwork?

[Laura1001]

I was thinking of creating a photobook with it, has anyone else done that? Any other ideas?

Someone once suggested that any paintings/colouring could be used as wrapping paper.
I taped together 4 A4 pictures and used them to wrap family b/day gifts, it went down really well.

DD was so proud that she'd 'made' the wrapping paper, saved money too!

befuzzled- can i ask, what software do you use to create posters on ?

ChildofIsis- yes i like the idea of using it for wrapping paper, then i suppose i could create a photo book first with it.

Laura, what you need to do is use photo/graphics software like photoshop or GIMP to create am image that is the same size as the poster size offered by the printing company you will use.

For me, I was going to order my poster from PhotoBox as they were the cheapest, so I chose the size I wanted which was 45" x 30" and then I went into GIMP on my laptop, and opened a new image and specified teh size I wanted, then dropped all my scanned drawings into this new image (each drawing was a new payer), scaled down each drawing to something like 2" x 1", and put them all in position, and then saved the whole image as a jpeg and it was easy to upload into photobox and order it that way.

Does that make sense?

GIMP is opensource (so free) software you can download, just like photoshop but free, lots of online tutorials and it works really well.

Hi L I use photoelf and MS Publisher which comes with Office 2010 if you have it? I also use photoshop here and there but find it a bit over complicated for my needs. Photoelf is great but costs about £15. I didn't know about GIMP so will be looking at that too. Anything that lets you insert pictures free style and then save the whole thing as a jpeg (.jpg) will do though.
