While there are lots of cool backgrounds and themes via RocketLife, sometimes the best backgrounds are the ones you make yourself using your own pictures.

During a recent beach trip with my best pal, Martine, we snapped a lot of pics - us on the balcony of the beach house, us at dinner, us in the car, the beach… We like to commemorate everything, I ’spose.

So when it came time to putting the pics together, I wanted to really showcase how beautiful our surroundings were. I mean, check out how gorgeous the day was:

So how did I do it?

First, choose your pictures and select your project. I picked an 8×10 collage print. Then click Customize Collage Prints.. The first thing you’ll want to do is change your theme. I chose a classic theme and made it plain white. White sounds kinda boring, I know. But just wait. We’re gonna spice it up. After selecting the theme, click the Done button (the big green one at the bottom).

From there, you’ll want to choose the picture in your collage that you would like to set as the background by clicking on it. Then select Copy Photo to Background. Ta da!

Cool, right?

So what do you think? What other kinds of fun pictures would make great backgrounds too?
