Inspiration Boards 101: BigHugeLabs.com is Big Huge Fun
January 23, 2009 by
I keep seeing eye-candy wedding inspiration boards all over the web. “How do I make one?” you ask. That’s what I wanted to know, so I started poking around and found BigHugeLabs.com. It makes it easy to create a photo montage of your favorite images. I made this simple one with a few of my mini-paintings in about five minutes.
