How about making a simple e-card to send to your family and friends
for birthdays, Xmas and other special occasions?
I've written an article on the subject, which I’ve put up on my
jweb designs website here …

I’ve also set up a Picasa web-album to show you a selection of
e-cards I’ve made in the past 3 years… http://tinyurl.com/6xm59z3

The dimensions of the green canvas are 1000 x 800 pixels, and the
photo is 800 px in width. You will see that the green colour is
darker at the bottom of the background canvas, and that I’ve added a
very thin white border around the photo, to make it stand out more.
I’ve described how to create the border on one of the Gimp webpages
… http://jwebdesigns.angelfire.com/gimp2.htm
(I added 3 pixels in white, to both dimensions of the photo)
I hope you have fun making your own e-cards.
