Hump Day How-To: Printing Tiny Photos

Week 6 #documentedlife
Here we are at the fifth edition of the Hump Day How-To tutorials and this one was BY REQUEST. I'm finding it much easier to respond to requests for videos in this series than to come up with what I think might be helpful. There are so many tutorials and videos in the world that my goal was never to try and find something so unique that no one else is doing a tutorial, so send me more requests. :-)

After having about twelve people email and private message me on Facebook about the tiny photos in my planner for the #documentedlife project, I thought it might be neat to share how I create the tiny images of my art to use in my planner. 
Materials Used in the Hump Day How-To video (not the making of the #documentedlife page on the right):
  • iPhoto
  • Standard copy paper or card stock
  • scissors
  • glue stick or double sided tape
  • digital images of my artwork
Things to consider when printing and using your own tiny images:
  • Maximize the page by printing as many as you can get on a page. Even if you aren't ready to use them, you can stash them away for later.
  • Don't have iPhoto? Try an app like TurboCollage or Fotor that allows you to build a mosaic of images and print from there.
  • Standard printer paper is really thin and can wrinkle if you don't use a good adhesive. I will sometimes use card stock to avoid the wrinkles. But when I use regular printer paper, I like to use double sided tape or the Uhu glue stick to adhere it to the planner page. No matter which one I use, I burnish it with a key card or bone folder to make sure it stays.
I hope to see you back here next week for another Hump Day How-To!

Thank you for this video Kiala. It was very helpful. I would like to ask how you get such good digital images of your artwork to begin with. I do have a scanner on my home printer and know I can use that for small flat artwork but I'm trying to determine the best way to get good images for larger, more dimensional pieces. Any suggestions would really be appreciated.

Always love your videos. Thanks for sharing!

Hey Cindy L,
It's funny that you ask about my images because I'm wanting to get better at taking photos of my artwork -- right now, I just use my iphone or my iPad (which ever is close at the time). I have scanned my images in the past when I wanted to make color laser copies at a copy center, but the time it takes to scan images just to use on Instagram or Facebook, or even here on my blog is more than I'm willing to spend. I have a photographer friend who told me to make sure it's on a white surface with a white background (so surrounded by white) and to use as much natural light as you can. That has helped my images tremendously. I also watched a lot of great videos of folks telling you how to photograph your work. My fav was this one: http://youtu.be/Vpj28da03JQ -- I hope this helps.

Thank you so much for this. So helpful. Are you importing from Google+? I have most of my photos on there but also have an iPad. Just wondering how to go between. Also wondering if your inspiration decks are still for sale, can't seem to find one. Love your work. You are a true inspiration! Doing the DLP too!

Disregard my comment about the inspiration deck. They were not available when I last checked but just placed my order!
