The other day I saw the most beautiful pictures of tomatoes. The photo was on one of the blog articles that Cheri wrote: Gardening, Photography and Digital Scrapbooking ~ A Few of My Favorite Things!
Some of these tomatoes were hanging on the bush, some ripe some not.
Some of the tomatoes were sitting on a plate, beautifully placed red, green, yellow, and orange. Really bright and brilliant colors.
These garden photos gave me an me a home decorating idea.
Wouldn’t it be fun to take pictures all summer long of the different vegetables and fruits growing in their different stages in my garden, make a digital scrapbooking page, and frame it to hang on the wall of my kitchen?
For example, a picture of a pumpkin patch with the flowers in bloom. Then a picture of the small green pumpkin, a picture of the yellow pumpkin, and finally a picture of the large bright orange pumpkin. A a nice personalized touch I would mix in a few photos of my children planting, and playing near the garden too. This could be done with any variety fruit or vegetable that you grow in your garden, but I picked a pumpkin because of the dramatic colors.
Use Digital Scrapbooking Kits and My Photos!
I took a Gardening Digital Scrapbooking Kit and added photos to complete the look. Also, digital scrapbooking pages could be scrapbooked with your favorite gardening quote, like this one: “ Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature, it will never fail you.” - Mohandas K. Gandhi. Remember, you can always add WordArt and digital scrapbooking embellishments to make your digital scrapbooking project really stand out.
Once your digital scrapbooking page is completed, then you print your page by an online company, and even order it to be framed! This online printing company, Snapfish.com, will print and frame your photos or digital scrapbooking page!
Although having a printing company print your projects is nice, you can always print on your own home printer using photographic paper and frame your pages yourself. If you need training on how to use an online company or print scrap project at home using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, then get the Getting Started Series Training, specifically, Lesson 6 in Elements and Lesson 5 for Photoshop that teaches all about saving, printing ,and using online printing companies too!
Frame Your Design and Hang it Up!
Another idea I had after I framed my digital scrapbooking page was to also have each picture in an individual 4×6 frame and have them on the sides of the larger framed digital scrapbooking page!
Maybe next time!
Hopefully this home decorating idea will help you keep your garden alive all year long too!
Have a nice day and remember to take lots of photos of your garden from planting to harvest!
