Homemade Cards and Gifts are Easy to Make - Corel Explains How

Maidenhead, UK - 27 February 2006 - Many families now own at least one PC, some even have a second PC for the children to play on too. And it's a well known fact that mums love to receive things that their offspring have lovingly made for them. So this Mother's Day (26 March 2006), why not combine the two and have fun making a Mother's Day card on the computer. Corel offers some useful ideas on how to easily create a Mother's Day card and suggests some artistic gift ideas.

Corel? Photo AlbumTM 6 contains many exciting Greeting Card templates that you can use to create that special card that not only contains your very own photos but greetings as well. Just select a card style, page style, and then drag pictures into the cells and add text. Print it, fold it, and you're done!

What you'll need:

A digital photo Corel? Photo AlbumTM 6 A printer High quality paper

?

First choose your photo by browsing your collections within Corel Photo Album 6

?

Why not use Corel? Paint Shop ProTM X to give your photos the professional look they deserve with automatic photo fixes and precision editing tools for fine-tuning. Plus, when you need help, the built-in Learning Centre is there to make it easier.

With some of the software available today, which you may already have on your computer, you can also embark on some really creative projects to make a gift:

?

Turn a photo of your mum into a painting

?

Paint your own picture for your mum

?

Create a scrapbook of memories of your mum and you

?

Create a photo album for your mum or a collage of photos

And remember - you're never too old to make something handmade!

"Something which has been made specially for someone can mean so much more and all you need is a computer, an easy to use graphics or photo editing application, a printer and some thick paper - most of which you or your parents probably already have," says Daniel Weisbeck, international marketing director, Corel. "You can have such fun creating something from scratch or editing something you already have such as a photograph or image and it can keep you or your children entertained for hours."

So this Mother's Day, make something from the heart, but don't forget - mum's the word!
