Computer Crafting with my Son Adam

My Son is due to leave Junior school this month and wanted to make a card for his teacher who is unfortunately off sick and won't be returning before the end of term.

He wanted to include a photograph of his class on the card so I suggested he have a go using the new Serif software I've recently obtained.

He asked a teacher at the school to take a photo of the class, which we then imported into Serif Craft Artist. We downloaded the school logo from the school website and imported this onto Serif also as an embellishment.

We selected some digi kits that I already had installed,  themed around school and sports. Adam my son then started creating, he thinks the software is brilliant, he liked how quickly he could change backgrounds and add embellishment's and take them off again, he picked it up very quickly how to lay the embellishment's behind each other. He learnt how to change colours of the embellishment's - we had some odd colours at times! He finally decided on a plainer background as he initially selected a sports balls backing paper which made it all look a bit to busy.

We printed it out and matted onto black and red card, he's taken it into school now to get all his classmates to sign it.

Lets hope his teacher likes it and gives him somthing to remember his class and recovers in time for the new Term in September.
