Video Tutorial: Inserting Images into Shapes

Twice in one day...CRAZY TOWN, I know. 

I had someone ask me today how to insert images into shapes like this so that the image sits inside the shape and doesn't go past the edge:
This is an example of one of my Science Word Wall cards! =)


Hope this was helpful!

    Ginger Snap-This was so helpful! Do you know how long I spend reducing clip art-trying to fit the picture in a box, copying and pasting it into every box on the page, then the time I spend trying to examine every box to make sure they are spaced the same on the page? Now I can just click on even the smallest box and fill it instead of copying and dragging and hoping it looks the same every time. You are just so smart! Thank you or the tutorial. Glad you are back!

    Thank you for sharing this tip! I've inserted backgrounds, but haven't thought to insert shapes. Great timesaver!

      Me too Molly! Haven't quite mastered that one yet! I've done it one way in paint but it takes an insanely long amount of time. I know there is an easier way just haven't found it yet!

    When I insert an image in power point I go to the top where the ribbon is and go to insert. Then I go to picture and choose the picture I want to insert. I can move it easily, tilt it, and adjust the size.

      Yes, I do that too. I am talking about when you want to insert an image into a shape, not just into the powerpoint slide. =)

      Just found your blog, Ginger, and I am loving it! I have the same comment as Shelly... why not just insert the image (size, rotate, align, etc...) and then group everything together? Seems easier than the way you do it and there's no resolution loss.
