Smilebox and Scrapbook Flair 

Two Creative Options for Photos


SmileBox


Want to do something with all those photos that you can save, share and use to enjoy the memories?  Smilebox is a simple, free software that allows you to create a quick video using still photos.  With this software you can also create collages, invitations, scrapbooks and other items.   To use this software you will need to download the software either for your laptop or for your Iphone or Ipad. The laptop version is different and more robust than the IPhone/IPad version which is quick and simple but limited.  At this time I could not find an app for the Android  tablets.   This is free software for the basic package.  You will not need  to join Club Smilebox until you try it out…then, you may like it so much you will.

This version will do much, much more than the IPad version.  Consider it for more serious projects

This version is limited to combining pictures and special picture effects.

Scrapbook Flair

This is another free to download software that you can use to create scrapbook pages.  These scrapbook pages can then be saved a JPGs, taken to a local print outlet such as Walgreens, Staples or Wal-Mart to be printed.  Scrapbook Flair also has a printing service that will print 12x12 scrapbook pages and often for a very good price.  You upload your page to the Internet service and receive the prints in the mail. 

In addition, the free software web page offers free downloads of new backgrounds and embellishments to use on your pages.  When you see a free Designer Page set, be sure to download it then, as the "free" time is limited.  You can also subscribe for more services if you chose but the basic service is free.  I like to download the backgrounds to use with other projects such as PowerPoints since they are so elegant.
