cool things to do in WORD

You know all the blogs that have lists of categories of what their blogs contain? Well, I was out walking the other day and decided to make a Life Category list of what my life is all about right now. Here is the list:

daughter
husband
family
pets
scrapbooking
photography
inspiration
food
friends
art
music
internet
blogs
creating
TV
movies
books
children
everyday life
health
depression
the world
paper
shopping
decoration
travels
childraising
planning
lists
work

This is what I did with it!



And here is where that cool-things-to-do-in-WORD title comes in. I made that background patterned paper in Microsoft WORD. Yes, I did! You really can do all sorts of cool things in a simple program like WORD that almost everyone has in their computer. Here is what I did:


I have the swedish version of WORD but I copied these images from my computer so that you can see what I did and where. I opened the FORMAT tab and chose the background option. In that option there is other options I chose the middle one.



Then I picked the PATTERN option and played a bit before chosing one of the square patterns.



I added my journaling and title, then before I printed it I went over to my printing options to choose the OPTIONS button and clicking so that the print would include backgrounds colors and images. See where I have circled! Then just print your document! Voila! Go play!



I also made a layout using the photos I posted yesterday!



And I made a cool thing with my cookie form that I usually use for all my little embellishments. I digged up some small plants in my garden and added that to a few of the forms. I used small stones for some of them and then just added candles and other small items to make a decoration for my table!
