This posting illustrates how you might use a basic image template, as a foundation for adding your own thoughts to create an inspirational message plaque for your digital picture frame, computer wallpaper, or print.  Of course this approach requires beginning with an image that provides you with a canvas for having something inspirational to say.  If you have a profound thought you want to share with someone, the inspiration might occur before you have an image to help you illustrate it.  Ideas come from all sorts of directions.  Are you ready to share your own inspirations?

Images can be the source for many inspired thoughts.

Matte watch offers a variety of items made from your photos and mine, including digital matting, inspirational and humorous plaques, awards, custom promotional, commemorative photo treatments, digital greeting cards, and digital calendars designed for your digital picture frame, computer wallpapers, or for you to create graphical prints and wall hangings.  The question is why?  My answer is that I have found a lot of enjoyment in the creative effort, and if I make a few bucks doing it, that is all right as well.  I offer you the variety because you should have a way to make your photos come alive, and allow them to please you beyond the original memories they invoke.  You may ask, “If I buy one of your photo treatments, can I resell them for myself?”  If you purchase one of my personal photo treatment images, I hold the copyright on those, so I would ask that you only purchase them for your enjoyment.  If you purchase images made from your photos, you can do as you wish in selling or republishing them, as long as you do not claim copyrights to the matting design enhancements, thus using only the image as a whole in going forward with your own plans.  Whew!  Now, on with my next personal offering.

 In the next series, I have created an idea for a multi purpose template design which can be used in a variety of ways that my next few articles will demonstrate.  Though this will have a limited scope, it may work well for a variety of picture types.  The following creation makes a nice matted image for display.

Digital Photo Matting

This matted photo of flowers is an eye popper.

Every once in a while, there is an affirmation which blows away a lot of the smoke and trash that can easily accumulate against our vigilance in trying to keep our perspective clear and unfettered.  This inspirational plaque is offered as a free gift to anyone who can benefit from throwing the switch to shine a light on their own inner housekeeping.  Click on the image to get a copy at full resolution.  Enjoy.

Hopefully, this thought will knock some of the rust off your metal.

While thinking about inspirational themes, I quickly came upon a subject for the photo plaque presented below.  In an indirect way, the idea provides some solace for those who are experiencing difficulties in their lives, and may seem to be alone in their anguish.  This message reminds me that during such times, we are not the first to experience what we are going through, and others have struggled through similar circumstances to emerge victorious.  Struggles diminish us, but also strengthen our resolve to see them pass.  For a higher resolution look at the image, click on the picture.

Inspiration comes from everywhere, especially if you are looking for it.  My inspiration for this post was a bit more of a wrestling match than at other times.  As I sat at my desk looking at this digital plaque, it suddenly dawned on me that there are a lot of people in the world who spend time telling others about their woes, and all the things they find limiting, daunting, damaging, or boring about where they are.  This offering provides a simple and effective reminder about what you can do when you find yourself in a similar mood or situation.

One of the sure signs of the spring season is when tulips bloom for their short and colorful moments.   This week, I decided to celebrate the beauty of these flowers in case people do not have the chance to get out and see some flowers before they have come and gone.  With digital photo matting, it is possible to appreciate natural beauty all year.  What are your favorite flowers?  Click on the pictures to see them at their full resolution, and breathe in some fresh spring air.  Enjoy!
