The Basic How-To
Take a screenshot during expose’s “show all windows” when all of your pictures are opened. If that didn’t make sense, read more below for a full “tutorial”. This all takes about 10 seconds, especially if you already have all of your pictures opened.
Why?
My biggest disappointment when I first switched from PC to Mac was the absence of Picasa. One of my favorite features on Picasa was creating easy photo collages. Also, I refuse to use iPhoto (because I’m stubbornly waiting for Picasa to be developed for Macs and don’t want to get too emeshed in another program in the meantime!).
So, when I first received my brand new Mac, I created my own picture collage technique. I’m sure there are other ways to do this, but I usually open all of my photos in Photoshop anyway to do a little editing before posting them to Facebook and whatnot, so this is a really simple way to create a fast collage.

There are a lot of graduations & birthdays in May, and I generally expect to give friends & family something artsy and personalized (same problem at Christmas) along with their gift. So, how do I make my presents LOOK personalized without having to hand drawn 15 cartoons or make a dozen scrapbooks? I get crafty about my crafts.
Linoleum prints are easy (but don’t seem easy), are really fun, and can be completed while watching Netflix movies. Although you need a “linoleum” block, these blocks are not actually made of kitchen-tile linoleum (as some imagine), and are not actually that expensive. Supplies can be purchased at stores like AC Moore, or online at places like Blick. A simple starter set (that’s what I have) is less than $25 and can be easily supplemented with linoleum blocks that cost from $1-$10 online, depending on the size.
How do you create a cool linoleum print? Well, this is how I do it:
