Thread: Wordles on good-bye card

  1. Wordles on good-bye card

    I had read info about this site for some time but when two friends, Shirley (a new lurking shackie) and Joni (Kix) both nudged me within a few days of one another to give this a try. I decided it was time…and indeed it was tons of fun! Here is my card. Thanks ladies for that extra encouragement!

    At the wordle site you can add a list of words and the computer puts into an artsy format. You can repeat words in your list that you want to be a larger size. If you want 2 or more words to remain together fill in the blanks between the words with the ~ key. The program allows you to change the directions of the words, colors and fonts. Every time you change font the layout will also change. Once you have a design you like, it can be resized or cropped in a photo editing program (like Photoshop elements etc). You can copy the image with Alt - print screen on your keyboard. Open a new file in the program and paste ctrl-v. Enjoy!

    Please post how this works for you! Happy playin!

  6. Okay, I could play half the day with this. I've already printed 3 things to use. How do you get it to print "card size" though? Mine is taking up the whole sheet of paper.

  7. Mary--do you have a photo image program where you adjust the size of the a picture-like Photoshop Elements? I copied and pasted into that software program to crop and get the size I wanted...details are written in the last 2 lines of my directions above.

    Isn't it fun to play with?!!!

  8. Jan, I love your card. Thanks for showing us this site, it will be quite useful, I'm sure.
