Description:

Sharp Shooters, you've seen those beautiful photographs accented by a beautiful quote or short poem. Now, you will transform one of your photos into "inspiration."

Here's what you'll do:

  • Select one of your photos and then select a quote that complements it OR select a quote and find one of your own photos (or take another photo) to complement IT.
  • Use Photoshop, Paintshop or whatever photo editing software you use, and add the quote or poem to the photo. Choose an appropriate font (sometimes too fancy doesn't work)
  • Position the text so that the photo doesn't get lost in the words.
  • Save as .jpeg.
  • Print on a high quality printer or at photo finisher.

Your photo inspiration should be at least 4x6 in size. Send to your partner in an envelope.

Group rules apply.

Have fun!

@Nnyla - Can you give us a link to the one you have as your picture for the swap? I know I'd love to see it up close if possible.

Nnyla 10/26/2011 #

I'm at work now, and can't seem to find it, but it's still "up" on my home computer. I'll add the link when I return home.

@Craftycol if you have your own printer, you can alter the photo in most word processing applications. Or, there are online image editors: http://www.online-image-editor.com/. I've not tried them, but I know others who have.

Thanks, @CometaGuavaberry

@Nnyla I had this very same swap idea in mind. I love it love it :)

I may sign on for this one. I so enjoy doing swaps. Cause when I host, I have no time to enjoy.

@shellsajerseygirl great minds think alike! Join in the fun! :-) I'm having so much fun with photos for this one. I thought I'd picked the right one and then lo and behold I found another perfect pick out on one of my excursions!
