I enjoy using digital frames in various ways and here at the Holidays they come in real handy.
Sometimes I don't know what to get someone for the Holidays but I want to do something a bit more personal than giving a store gift card, so I like to create a Gift Coupon that they can redeem with me. This way it becomes more personal and depending on what the coupon is for, I get to have a great time with them as well.
It just takes a little time on the computer using a cool graphic frame and then it's up to you if you print it and color it by hand or colorize it by using a program like Photoshop. You can also create your coupon in a program like Word and print it out on colored paper.
Here is an example of a Girl's Day Out coupon I did in Photoshop.
The great thing about these coupons is you can create them for all occasions and for whatever you want. You could even create a coupon book with a variety of favors, wishes...
or fantasies if your more naughty than nice.
This is the original digital frame I used for the above coupon.

so beautiful! Thx for share!
ReplyDeleteHey D Angell - The thanks really go to the original image creators and posters. There are sooooo many cool ones out there on the web so I hope you find lots more for your stash.

Evelyn
Several of these are taken from my Web site at fromoldbooks.org -- see my image search page for the original high quality versions.
ReplyDeleteHey Liam! Thanks for dropping a note regarding your awesome website and some of the great border/frames from it that I included in the above post.
DeleteBack when I first started my blog, blogger allowed you to upload photos straight from websites so when viewers clicked on the image it would take you back to the source. I believe during one of their blogger upgrades, they removed that feature so now all you see is the image.
I've gone back in and posted links to individual images so everyone can find them online. I believe I've got all yours tagged and linked correctly but if not just drop me an email and I'll be glad to make any corrections needed.
Thanks again for posting great images we artsy types can use.
Cheers,
Evelyn
