One fall Saturday morning when my husband was busy with the children's sports program at our church, I decided to take the kids to the local county park (9 months pregnant). My purpose was for photos, but they thought we were just on a nature adventure. We were checking out the oak, maple, and pine trees...and their cones and acorns (well, not on the maples). Along the way I was taking photographs, hoping to capture a few good ones. Of my 76 photographs, a few came out well. I'm thankful for digital technology!
Same photos are used below, but use a different layout.
I made collages of a few of the pictures using Picasa- a free photo editing program. (It does not store the pictures for you, but uses what is already on your computer.)
Typically, I prefer the picture pile (bottom collage) over the mosaic grid (top). This time, I may like the grid better.
I have used the collage in the past to create a bit of a fun "summary" of our year to include in Christmas cards. Oh, and it's cheap, too. Just the cost of a print!
Just thought I'd share in case you were interested in making your own.
Just curious...which style do you prefer? Picture pile or grid? Does it depend upon photo content?

I like the picture pile version best...just because...I just do. =D
I generally like picture pile better, but I agree in this case I like the grid better.
I love them (and probably the collage best) and have got to do better with things like this!
I have a feeling I would like the picture pile in most cases, but on the top one, I like the grid the best. I had never heard of Picasa. I'm glad you mentioned it!
