How to Make Photo Postcards

If you have photographs from your last vacation or even great photos of your kids that you want to share with friends and family, making it into a postcard is an inexpensive and creative way to share them. There is almost nothing to making a postcard from a photograph. As hard as this may be to believe, a simple photograph is almost a postcard from the beginning.
