Valentine's Day Home Print Projects
Is your child restless from being indoors during this cold, wintery season? KODAK EASYSHARE Software v7.1, for Windows, comes to the rescue, again, with a couple of print at home Valentine's Day projects that will surely keep your child busy.
For their school's holiday party and card exchange, your children can easily create personalized photo Valentine's Day cards using a similar method as described step-by-step in my last post. Visit the Creative Projects tab and launch the ARCSOFT PRINT CREATIONS Quarter- Fold Greeting Card module. Depending on how you downloaded the software, the five free Valentine's Day templates may not have been installed. To add those templates, simply click "Get More Templates" in the upper right hand corner of the application.
To create the card, select a Valentine's Day design and drag and drop an image of a classmate into the template. Save the project as a picture and open the jpeg in KODAK EASYSHARE Software. Crop down to size and bring the pictures into the Print at Home tab. Since children's Valentine's Day cards are traditionally smaller in size, I selected the 2.5" x 3.25" option. When printing on standard size photo paper, 9 cards will fit on each page.
When sending Valentine's Day cards to family members, have your child add an even more personalized (and fun) touch. After selecting a favorite picture of your child, creating the card in ARCSOFT PRINT CREATIONS, and importing the jpeg back into KODAK EASYSHARE Software, open the image in the editor. Choose "Fun Effects" and then "Coloring Book."
I would recommend printing a bigger image, such as a 5" x 7" or 8" x 10", so that it is easier for your child to color. Most markers will work on glossy picture paper, but if your child is still in the crayon phase, use normal printer paper.
