Digital Scrapbooks
You love your new digital camera
and have filled the memory card
with pictures, but now what? It’s
time to get them out of the camera
and get them organized! Using a
free download of album-making
software, you’ll learn the basics of
designing an eye pleasing page and
adding your story to the pages. You’ll
see how you can easily and quickly
assemble a keepsake book on your
computer using templates and image
editing tools. The finished product
will have all the special paper,
journaling and other options that
are used with regular scrapbooking,
with no scissors or glue involved.
Instead of duplicating pictures to
make more than one album, you can
just upload your project and print
as many copies as you need. This
is great for heritage projects, baby
albums or any other photos that you
want to share. Please bring a CD of
your own photos to use during class.
