Painterly Photo Printouts

Figures A and B--Scan a favorite photo into your computer (or have it done at a copy store) onto canvas paper. Enlarge it if you like, then rub with sandpaper to bring out the texture of the paper and create an aged look. Place in a decorative frame, and you're done.

Figures C and D--Got an old family photograph that you'd like to dress up and display? Scan the photo into your computer and enlarge it to fit the frame you've chosen. Use watercolors to paint the subjects and background in the photo. Place into a frame and add a plaque at the bottom as a caption, if desired.

Figure E--If you have a series of objects and photos from a certain event that you'd like to preserve, but don't have time to put together an entire photo album, here's a simple solution: Scan the items into your computer, saving the originals as keepsakes, and arrange in a collage-like fashion. Adhere with a glue stick and frame.
