For our winter issue, I created a layout called “Winter Wardrobe”. I took photos of some of my favourite baby clothes-- cords and sweaters, pink boots, etc, and cropped them into squares so that I could punch them out with a square punch once printed. Rather than add titles to these photos with letter stickers or rub-ons, I added text directly to the photos in Picasa.

Awesome tutorial! I recently downloaded picasa and so far I love it. I'm. Not very computer savey and never got very far with photoshop elements. Picasa seems much easier. Can't wait to add text- been wanting to learn how.
