Oh-my-geeeee. After my first attempt at an inspiration board, I was not feeling so inspired. Mainly, the process wasn’t as easy as I’d hoped. I couldn’t get the pictures to easily fit together so it took forever (and I was probably being too specific about the photos I was using).

Enter Picasa. I’ve used Picasa forever, but just discovered a little feature called “collage”. Whaaaa? How had I missed this? Check this out!

1. Create a folder containing the photos you want to collage.

2. Click the button I drew an arrow toward. It will say “create photo collage”

3. Voila! Collage created. Now tweak it.

4. Shuffle the pics around to get them “just right”.

5. Save.

I only have two words: easy peasy. I can NOT believe I spent two hours messing with Photoshop to make my first one! So, now that I’ve shared my massively easy trick I feel like a cheater showing you my latest inspiration boards since they took all of 5 seconds to make. But, alas, they are awfully pretty.

What’s your favorite shortcut? Did you know about Picasa’s collage feature WAY before I did?
