Thoughts on Creative Uses of Images


Well, I have no idea where is the best category for this, so.... moderators, please move to a more appropriate place if one exists!

Thoughts on creative uses of photos...

OK, we can hang framed prints, make a photo album (print or online), give a slide show.... what else?

I'd like to hear about YOUR creative usages of photos to create something special or unique!

Here are my recent thoughts ...

I just got a Canon A570 for a recent trip to Walt Disney World & as I was there, started thinking about: hey! Why spend ~$30 -- $60US++ for a t- or sweatshirt... I can make my own! So, I picked up some Avery transfer paper and tried 'photo shopping' my prints to create art for this (see my gallery... all comments appreciated!)

But, what else? While Christmas shopping I found a Scrapbooking starter kit and though... my daughter will LOVE this! So, she got it from Santa and now we're doing our Disney trip / etc up in pages together... great stuff! :)

But, what else? Well, while at WDW, my daughter just HAD to have a temp tattoo... $25US!! So I went looking for temp tatoos, couldn't find any locally so decided to buy inkjet tatoo transfers from BelDecal.com ... don't have any good pics for this, but will try to get some next time, but plenty of disney clip art is available free online!

But, what else? Places like CafePress.com allow you to create (and, opt sell) a variety of products with your images (in addition to apparel)... coffee mugs, etc. Well, BelDecal.com also sells transfer paper for such usage (ceramic, glass, etc.) so, what the heck, I order some of that too.

But, what else? BelDecal.com also had sheets of Magnet paper... cool! I love magnets! I've been looking for a Clean/Dirty magnet for my dishwasher to no avail.... so I got some of that :)

So, folks, what ELSE are y'all using your photos for? I need ideas! I'm revisiting WDW in 2 weeks :D I really want to hear YOUR creative ideas (...so I can copy 'em :D :D ) (just kidding) (..sort of ... ;)

  Most of my photos are used in making personal greeting cards for community and friends. They so love the "personal touch".
