I went to diy stores and took small samples of wallpaper designs which I cut into small squares to use for interesting mounts

I don't mind explaining but do you know how to upload your pictures onto photobucket?

http://photobucket.com/

join them, it is free, you just create a username and password

then on the main page you see a section with 3 rectangle boxes and browse beside them.
Click on 'browse' and it will open your windows box, find your picture on your computer (mine is "my pictures")
click on the picture so it highlights and then click 'open'
On the photobucket page, in the first rectangle it shows a green tick and 'add title'
Click the blue box 'upload' and it will upload your picture onto photobucket, it takes a while and will tell you 100%
Now you should have your picture on your screen with lots of options under it: Email and IM, Direct link etc. and above it:move, tag, edit, share, delete
click on edit then click on resize, click on message board, click ok (this will make your picture smaller so it fits on the message board)
click the 'back' button twice to get back to the main screen where your picture is with all the options underneath it.
Right click on the last one : IMG code, it will turn blue, copy

then go into your message, right click under your text and then paste and it will copy your IMG code onto your message. when you press submit reply it will automatically post your picture.

I don't know if that is clear enough but ask if you need more help. This is how I do it but there might be an easier way..
