Trading cards and jigsaws

I created a trading card of my daughter and e-mailed it to her. I am eager to see what her response is. I suspect she will think I am silly for making it. I don't think she understands my playing around with the technology which we are currently working with.

Actually I fail to see the point of the trading cards. As far as I am concerned the pictures are better than the cards.

I also created a jigsaw puzzle. If if wasn't for the fact that it costs $30.00 to actually have them make a real one from the photo I input, I might think that this is a neat application. It also sounded like the puzzle would be on high quality paper instead of backed with cardboard, so it may not be of much use as a real puzzle. I do like real puzzles so this was intriguing.

This is an exercise to show how people combine various tools to come up with completely new applications. Some are useful. Some are just plain silly. The trading cards are probably more interesting to children's and YA librarians. One of the other participants had an interesting idea for how to use trading cards in her library.
