I have SO many photos of my kids and my life that by the end of the year I feel totally overwhelmed with them. There are some really great photos and lots and lots of just OK photos - but those are our memories of our little ones. This year we welcomed our little girl into the family so the majority of 2011 was all about pregnancy and then her birth and newborn months.
Here's a great way to create a visual representation of the year with a Photo Collage - and if you are decent at PShop, it should just take a few minutes to create.
Start in Picasa. If you don't have Picasa already, I urge you to use it. It is a great way to organize your photos, edit them and keep an online selection of them in albums. Google offers free storage that lasts a long time and has several partner sites which make it easy to print the photos after you upload them to your online web albums.
Open your collage file in PShop.
This is not an easy project but if you know your way around Photoshop and Illustrator, it's a cinch. We use this technique of creating scalable vectors in Illustrator and then pulling them into Photoshop a lot. It's a great way to make use of the small, unusable graphics you find online.

Our Superman Groom cake toppers are as popular as ever. There is something about the idea of the groom revealing his true identity under his wedding tuxedo that is very appealing to grooms everywhere! Over the past few weeks, we have see our Superman Groom appear with rock band logos, University logos and Armed Forces logos.
Military cake toppers are very popular these days too. We have created a Marine Corps cake topper, a Navy Sailor groom and we are working on an Air Force captain groom this month.
We have been amazed at how our Thumbprint Guest Book Tree Prints have taken off! We are printing at least 10 prints a day and loving the fun combinations of colors our brides are coming up with.
