Card-making software.

There is a lot of card-making software around, from CD's to large programmes, and all of these can help you to produce the most magical effects on cards.

There are many things on the market but some are really complicated to work with and if your not happy with computers then you can get out of your depth quite easily.

But there are also some very easy to use programmes around..... and lots of them are free!

They are really photo management programmes, but they can be used for your purposes.

They will store all your photographs and pictures on your hard-drive, and you view them in a library that you can organise your self, to suit the way you want to work.

But the reason I like some of this free stuff, is it's versatility.

I can add text to my photo, or resize it. So I end up with lots of different permutations from one picture.

And don't forget your photo's are editable too. Change the angle, light, contrast, get rid of red eye, and lots of other clever tricks.

They have excellent "User guides" that you can print off before you start. And even online tutorials so you know what to do. It tells you everything you need to know.
