My multi purpose template begins with a basic matted photo design, and then adds text or graphics to transform the picture into a form with utility.  You can purchase the basic design, then add enhancements to extend the use of the image into a wide variety of other images to display in a digital picture frame, as a computer wallpaper, or print the image to use as a wall hanging.  In the example below, I imposed a calendar on the graded color area to create a monthly calendar.  A day by day or perpetual calendar could be made by using the baseline image, and adding a month and day to the same shaded area, or by adding a day of the week, month, day, and year in text using almost any available graphics program like Paint.  Presuming you want to change the base image once per month, the total cost of this do it yourself method would be $36 per year.  Of course, I could also produce all these variations for you at $3 per image, but if you want to use your own creativity, the cost savings for using the multipurpose template made from your photos would be significant, and a fun project for you to try. 

Digital Calendars

Use a multipurpose template to create your own monthly, daily, or perpetual calendars.

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.

The beauty of a digital picture frame is that images do not have to be singular or static.  Narrative commemorative photo treatments can be added to the pictures to bring detail that helps to explain images on another interesting level.  The pictures can be printed on using attractive colors and fonts to blend with the photo matting work, and enhance the enjoyment.

Commemorative Photo Treatments

Use text with your photos to sign your work or record thoughts and feelings.

If you are not sure which flowers you want to see for your monthly calendar, the solution might be to display several of your shots in a cubical design like the one shown below.  When you are tired of the same old way of marking time, let Matte Watch supply some ideas that can help you enjoy your calendar watching to the fullest.  I am always looking for new ways to use my own digital picture frame for something beautiful and unusual, so that means you can benefit from all the work I have been doing to brighten your own view of the present, past, and future.  For a higher resolution look at the image, click on the picture.

This month marked the ninth anniversary of some new friends we have made in our neighborhood.  The following greeting was our way of wishing them a happy anniversary and bringing a unique greeting that came from our own cameras and imagination.  If you have someone that would like to celebrate a special occasion, Matte Watch can save you a lot of time and trouble in creating a unique and special remembrance.  Hopefully, they overlooked my spelling error!  Happy Anniversary.

One of the frequent themes adopted for photos by amateur photographers are pictures of beautiful flowers.  As evidenced by some of the features on this site, I am no exception to the lure of floral attraction.  If you are thinking of getting rich on your flower shots, think again.  Many of the money making photo sites have received so many flower shots, they refuse to consider any more submissions of that type.  Oh well, I still use flowers to come up with some beautiful photo matting creations.  You can take advantage of all those pictures you have of flowers, and create a dazzling bouquet arrangement for your digital picture frame.  Send me your flower shots and watch their beauty blossom.

Continuing in my desire to recognize memorable volkswalks sponsored by the American Volkssport Association, the next commemorative award highlights the Oklahoma City Capital Walk.  When I visited Oklahoma City, the walk included a visit to the Oklahoma City Memorial honoring those who died in the bombing that happened years back.  The area is a beautiful and quiet place which is worth seeing.  If you would like to know more about AVA activities, visit http://www.ava.org for more information about how to participate in these non-competitive activities.  Happy walking.

Oklahoma City has interesting sights worth seeing.
