All through human history, leaders and common men alike have made Quotes. Quotes that so often; have inspired other human beings to perform great acts; heroic and noble. These Quotes about Life have been a source of inspiration to so many through times that; one can only marvel at the great minds through which they have been manifested. These quotes of truth, honesty, passion, and humility have made for a better world if not anything more. Be it the likes of the benevolent Mahatma Gandhi or Nobel Literates Such as Barrack Obama. Quotes about life have inspired so many; to do great things, and bring change. And then these men have also made Quotes about life which will result in a better tomorrow for our children.

Quotes about life have been one of the most influential guidance tools for leaders and Citizens of the world. The knowledge and wisdom passed through these quotes are truly great; and we must appreciate their greatness, because at times they are the one's who lead us towards the light when all seems lost. Not only that we can look at these quotes as a way of life; a lifestyle that follows the ideologies and philosophies of the most spiritual and brilliant minds in human history. If religion is Opium, then Quotes about life can be a guiding philosophy for a better future.

Consequently, these Quotes about life also remind us of what we have forgotten. To live life in a simple way. As French philosopher and scholar Jean Jacques Rousseau once said "All beings live long when they live in their natural states." Or simply, we can survive better if we live in a more environmentally friendly manner or a manner which is in a state of equilibrium with nature and its resources.

Human Life is like a river and Human Beings the Boat, and Quotes about life are the fisherman/captains which help the boat cross this river with minimum difficulty. So positive is the influence of these quotes on life that when we follow the footsteps of great leaders, pioneers, and visionaries we seem to find the quotes and the message's they provide very influential in them making the right decisions. This is also the case for a common man who seldom gets excited, and yet makes a difference in life, whilst following the message these Quotes about life provide. And this is all that matters. To be inspired and do something good; for ourselves and our fellow human beings.

Simple And Easy Family Scrapbooking Quotes

noreply@blogger.com (Co0L Ary) — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 12:44:00 +0000

Plenty of scrappers love including family scrapbooking quotes to their scrapbook projects. You can often describe exactly how you feel about a photo or collage by using a fantastic quotation. It could be nearly anything, really. Provided it's special to you. When it comes to incorporating family scrapbooking quotes in your projects, there are no definite rules. Go to town and have fun finding the ideal quotation for that perfect photo.

Whimsical Quotes

The whimsical family scrapbooking quote is especially fun. Particularly if you locate an excellent match to your photograph. Say, for example, you have a wonderful shot of your child while they're sleeping. His hair is all ruffled and you can see the race car sleepwear that he wears fanatically. You recognized even as you took the snapshot, that this cherished shot has to go into your scrapbook. Now, to find the perfect quote.

One of the best places to start looking for family scrapbooking quotes for your kid's photo is to go to the worlds greatest wordsmith for young children.... Doctor Seuss! For that image of the bed-head pajama clad child, you could use something like "Please let me be. Please go away. I am NOT going to get up today". You could also use children's book titles such as "Good Night, Moon".

Sentimental Quotes

Sentimental family scrapbooking quotes are essential when scrapbooking for older members of the family. When you create a scrapbook for significant occasions (such as a thirtieth wedding anniversary), these will always be treasured and cherished as gifts. This would be a great time to break out the sappy and sentimental family scrapbooking quotes.

Getting quotations is simple. Quite a few scrapbooking fans will browse for good sentimental family scrapbooking quotes in their neighborhood Hallmark shop. Poetic quotes are especially appreciated, (particularly if you *know * their favorite poet), or you might choose to listen to song lyrics from the period of time the couple was married. One of the most popular quotations used for anniversary scrapbooks is "Grow old with me, the best is yet to be". The song title "Sentimental Journey" is a well-liked title for an anniversary scrapbooking album. It actually doesn't really matter where you find your sentimental family scrapbooking quotes.

Funny Quotes

A lot of people who scrapbook keep separate scrapbooks for humorous memories. Scrapbooking is indeed a flexible art form and you can pretty much combine whimsical, sentimental and funny family scrapbooking quotations. Amusing quotes can come from a multitude of locations such as books, motion pictures, standup comedy shows or nearly anywhere else. You can even make up your own personal funny family scrapbooking quotes. Anything goes while scrapbooking.

While going through a box of old pictures, you find a snapshot of yourself when you were lounging by your pool. You can clearly see in the background your spouse mowing the grass. You could use this family scrapbooking quote: "I love work. I could sit and watch it for hours". It's easy coming up with humorous quotations. Take your time and you'll find the best quote when you least expect it.

Quotes Tip

Carrying around a compact notebook when you're out and about is an excellent strategy. Several scrappers do this. Whenever they see or hear a potentially handy quotation, they write it down in the notebook. Afterwards, they enter the quote into their list on their computer.

Pros and Cons

Photoshop Elements (PSE) is such a great resource for both new and experienced digital scrappers. As with any software purchase though, it’s important to determine your needs and the capabilities you desire in a program before moving forward with your purchase. PSE is affordable and features extensive capabilities but there are a few common components not available in PSE that may render it somewhat ineffective depending on your needs. The main differences between PSE and full version Photoshop will affect your ability to use your work product professionally. If you are looking for a program that’s relatively easy to learn; one that will allow you quick photo fixes and the ability to use purchased digital products – then PSE is definitely your solution! There is a 30 day trial version of PSE available here (under “Digital Imaging”) Another bonus? PSE often comes bundled with cameras – you may already have the program and not even know it!

Do you looking for a digital scrapbooking program?

noreply@blogger.com (Co0L Ary) — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 09:49:00 +0000

I know some of you are looking a digital scrapbooking program that suits your needs and sometimes it can make quite a headache trying to find which is the best. I came across a website that might help you with.

Getting Started

There are several computer programs out there that make digital scrapbooking possible. The most popular programs are Microsoft Picture It!, Adobe Photoshop and JASC's Paint Shop Pro.

These programs allow crafters to manipulate photos, crop out people or cut out the backgrounds, change colors, add text, borders, graphics and more. All of the programs have a learning curve, and it can be difficult to get the program to do exactly what you want it to do. If you have a lot of experience with Photoshop or another program, you should use it for your scrapbooking instead of buying a new program.

If you are in the market for a digital scrapbooking program, some of the easiest programs to use are those by Hallmark, Ulead, HP and CK. With names like "Scrapbook Studio" and "Scrapbook Assistant," these programs are designed especially for digital scrapbooking. They are easy to learn and don't cost a lot of money, but they aren't great in terms of flexibility or doing all the tricks that some of the higher-end photo manipulation programs allow.

Those programs, such as Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, Corel Draw, and Ulead PhotoImpact, tend to have a higher learning curve, but also allow you to be more creative once you figure out how to do what you want to do. These programs are more expensive, but also more versatile, as you will be able to use them for applications other than scrapbooking.

For the middle of the road in terms of difficulty, price and flexibility, Microsoft Digital Image Pro is a good choice. It's not as expensive as Photoshop and it has more features than the scrapbook-only programs. It's also not as hard to learn as some of the other programs.

Scrapbooking Quotes - How to Choose the Perfect One

Scrapbooking Quotes - How to Choose the Perfect One
By Anuar Malek

Many people say that a picture is worth a thousand words. However, dealing with memories can be a very difficult experience. Memories get clouded, and pictures can sometimes be interpreted in a thousand different ways. However, writing down your memories of an event can be quite boring and it takes the thrill of mystery from rediscovering your history.

So what is a good compromise between writing a diary and making a very vague scrapbook? Most people choose to find scrapbooking quotes in order to help them get the initial feel of a memory. Scrapbooking quotes give you the general idea of a memory, but let you fill in the blanks yourself. By making use of scrapbooking quotes, you actually have the advantage of touching hearts. Using the combination of photos, memorabilia, and scrapbooking quotes can prove to be a most effective way of initializing a good reminiscing session.

However, in order to have this effect, you'll need to choose your Scrapbooking quotes properly. So what qualities should you look for in a scrapbooking quote?

1. Mnemonic quality - a good scrapbooking quote should be easily remembered. It should have that quality that makes it stick to your head. By having this quality, you can be sure of at least one impact of the scrapbooking quote.

You realize, of course, that the best songs often have this quality. Ever wonder why some singers fade away after 2 albums while some old singers still remain popular even decades after their last song was released? You see, the mnemonic quality of a phrase helps people associate it easily with certain things.

2. Relevant - Of course, a scrapbooking quote should be relevant to what you intend to portray. The scrapbooking quote should be able to bring across your message and enable whoever is reading the quote to relate to the object or picture in your scrapbook.

The scrapbooking quote may come off as trivial to the reader. However, the meaning of the scrapbooking quote should not be so vague that the reader has to use all of his or her brainpower to understand it. That is, unless you intend for the scrapbook to take on an air of mystery and clue-finding.

3. Short - A scrapbooking quote should be able to get the message across with very few words. You see, the focus of the scrapbook should remain on the objects or photographs. In choosing a scrapbooking quote, you should make sure that the quote does not take the center stage from the other objects in the scrapbook. However, you should make sure that the quote is just enough to form a bridge of thought between the words and the objects.

4. Touching - a good scrapbooking quote should not only touch your brain, but it should also move your emotion. You see, scrapbooks trigger memories not for the purpose of giving your brain a workout, but to enrich your soul. Thinking about past events, whether delightful or forlorn, helps you rediscover yourself and what made you the person you are today.

These are just some qualities that you should look for in a scrapbooking quote. Never forget, however, that the most important factor is you. You should decide whether or not a quote is appropriate for your scrapbook. This is the reason why some people choose to write their own quotes instead of borrowing the words of another. A scrapbook is a very personal item, which needs to relate to you.

In the Words of Others - Choosing the Right Quote For Your Scrapbook Pages

In the Words of Others - Choosing the Right Quote For Your Scrapbook Pages
By Alecia Lehmann

It may be true that a picture may be worth a thousand words, when you are trying to preserve a memory for future generations it helps to add a little verbiage to your pages. Memory isn't always accurate, and to really get the most out of your scrapbooking efforts, you may want to consider adding some quotes or phrases to your pages.

Think of using quotes as a sort of bridge between writing an entire diary entry about your photos and losing the meaning behind the pictures by leaving words out entirely. Quotes can serve as both an embellishment and a form of journaling. They an convey the essence of a memory, allowing you to provide the substance through more detailed journaling.

By implementing scrapbooking quotes, you can convey universal emotion to accompany your very personal memories. When taken together with your photos, memorabilia and other embellishments, scrapbooking quotes can help you create a complete layout that will inspire reminiscing, even years after the event has taken place.

But what makes a good scrapbooking quote? A good scrapbooking quote will be:

Catchy - An effective scrapbook quote should be easily remembered. It should stick in your head and make an impact. Think of your favourite song or artist. The best ones get to be that way because they have staying power.

Relevant - The scrapbooking quote may come off as trivial to the reader. However, the meaning of the scrapbooking quote should not be so vague that the reader has to use all of his or her brainpower to understand it. That is, unless you intend for the scrapbook to take on an air of mystery and clue-finding.

Short - A good scrapbooking quote should be able to grab the reader's attention quickly, in just a few words. Unless it is the goal of your layout to have the quote be the center of attention, it should not overpower the photos or memorabilia on your page. The goal of the quote is to bridge the gap between your own words and the images on the page.

Emotional - This does not mean that every quote has to incite tears! A quote should evoke some kind of emotion, sadness, nostalgia, happiness, excitement, etc. - whatever the intended emotion of the layout is.

These are just a few ideas for how scrapbooking quotes can enhance your layouts and your memories. But scrapbooks are personal, and the choice of what makes a good quote is ultimately up to you. If it complements your memories in a way that is meaningful to you, it's the right choice.

Search the Internet for a wealth of ideas for scrapbook quotes. There's a treasure trove of choices out there!

noreply@blogger.com (Co0L Ary) — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 01:22:00 +0000

via heroarts.com

This is one of my favorite techniques to date. It is simple, quick and the results are fantastic. I am able to layer my clear stamping over gorgeous printed papers and flowers, plus I can create my own embellishments by stamping on clear tags with pattern images.
1. Cut an acetate card in half and use just one piece.
2. Stamp the DesignBlock Tree (S5037) with white StazOn.
3. Add some paper to extend the size of the card to accommodate the 4"x6" chipboard book pages.
4. Cover a chipboard page on both sides with Basic Grey paper, wrap with ribbon.
5. Add a silk flower and a paper flower from Hero Arts (CH152 Art Flowers Neutral).

Ah, March! we know thou art Kind-hearted, spite of ugly looks and threats, And, out of sight, art nursing April's violets!

Beware the ides of March.

With rushing winds and gloomy skies The dark and stubborn Winter dies: Far-off, unseen, Spring faintly cries, Bidding her earliest child arise; March!

"March winds bring April showers. April showers bring May flowers."

"March comes in like a lion, goes out like a lamb."

They have now become a successful online photo book service with an impressive website, full of customization options and special features. Mixbookboasts one of the most freely customizable online photo book services that we reviewed, offering many options for custom layouts and book sizes.
As the creator of a Mixbook photo book, you control all aspects of its customization. You can invite friends to contribute to your photo book, gathering photos from all views of an event. Even though you can have others customize their own pages in your photo book, you have the final say on what gets put through. This feature makes it very easy to create a full-featured, interesting photo book with input from all of your friends.
AutoMix is one of Mixbook’s more impressive and powerful features. You can create a photo book in seconds with this feature; all you need to do is choose a theme and some photos and your photo book is done! If you desire, after AutoMix has created your photo book, you can go back through it and make specific changes, giving you a quick and completely customizable experience.
Mixbook can use photos from many popular web image hosting services like Flickr, SmugMug, Photobucket and Facebook. Other options are available and even if there is another service that you’d like to use that Mixbook doesn’t offer, you can email Mixbook directly and have them add the service.
Features and Options:
Mixbook has created a full-featured website, complete with many photo book sizes and customization options. An uncommon feature in online photo book services, Mixbook allows you to insert your own text boxes, change the size of the photos and even modify their page layouts. This creative freedom in creating your photo book is very refreshing, opening new ideas and possibilities to users of any level of experience.
Mixbook offers a selection of six photo book sizes, allowing you to create the photo book that is right for your needs. Books are available in landscape, portrait and square formats with hardbound and softbound cover options.
All Mixbooks are printed on 100 lb semi-gloss paper that is both acid-free and lignin-free, giving your photos a professional, glossy sheen. Their softcover photo books are bound with glue and hardcover books are saddle-stitched.
Ease of Use:
Mixbook is very easy to use, even with its large array of customizable options and unique features. Options to modify their layouts or create your own give an added level of intuitiveness to this service, leading you through the process easily.
The AutoMix feature makes Mixbook one of the easiest services to use. With AutoMix, you can create a photo book in minutes; all you need to do is choose a theme and select the photos you wish to display. This feature will then take all of the supplied information and randomize it into a completed photo book! If you wish to customize your book further, you can go back through afterwards and edit select portions of the photo book, allowing you to both quickly create a photo book and customize it to your heart’s content without getting bogged down between the two.
Quality:
We were a little disappointed with the quality of Mixbook’s photo books when compared to the others that we received. The customization options are fantastic, but what you gain in personalization, you lose in quality. The photos we submitted to Mixbook came back rather grainy and flat. The colors were muted and not as polished looking as the ones we received from some of our higher ranked online photo book services.
Help/Support:
Mixbook provides most of the standard support features, offering email support and a large FAQ section. A telephone support line is missing from their service, making it a bit less convenient to receive help with your photo book. The support we did receive through email was prompt and helpful, making it a welcome alternative to hold music on a busy phone line.
Summary:
Mixbookis a very personal and customizable service with outstanding features like their automatic book maker, AutoMix. The social aspect of Mixbook is readily apparent from their group photo book option as well as the active community on the Mixbook site. If you’re looking for a great experience creating a photo book, Mixbook is the place for you.

Looking for a family and children scrabooking quote? (II)

noreply@blogger.com (Co0L Ary) — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 02:40:00 +0000

Continued from previous post, for you :)

Alex Haley:
In every conceivable manner, the family is link to our past, bridge to our future.

Ariel and Will Durant:
The family is the nucleus of civilization.

Auguste Napier:
In each family a story is playing itself out, and each family's story embodies its hope and despair.

Barack Obama:
My wife has been my closest friend, my closest advisor. And ... she's not somebody who looks to the limelight, or even is wild about me being in politics. And that's a good reality check on me. When I go home, she wants me to be a good father and a good husband. And everything else is secondary to that.

Ben Silliman:
American families have always shown remarkable resiliency, or flexible adjustment to natural, economic, and social challenges. Their strengths resemble the elasticity of a spider web, a gull's skillful flow with the wind, the regenerating power of perennial grasses, the cooperation of an ant colony, and the persistence of a stream carving canyon rocks. These are not the strengths of fixed monuments but living organisms. This resilience is not measured by wealth, muscle or efficiency but by creativity, unity, and hope. Cultivating these family strengths is critical to a thriving human community.

Bertrand Russell:
The place of the father in the modern suburban family is a very small one, particularly if he plays golf.

Carl Sandburg:
A baby is God's opinion that the world should go on.

Chinese Proverb:
Govern a family as you would cook a small fish - very gently.
- sometimes attributed to Confucius

Colette:
It is not a bad thing that children should occasionally, and politely, put parents in their place.

Confucius:
To put the world right in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must first put the family in order; to put the family in order, we must first cultivate our personal life; we must first set our hearts right.

Eda LeShan:
Becoming responsible adults is no longer a matter of whether children hang up there pajamas or put dirty towels in the hamper, but whether they care about themselves and others -- and whether they see everyday chores as related to how we treat this planet.

Elizabeth II:
Like all the best families, we have our share of eccentricities, of impetuous and wayward youngsters and of family disagreements.

Elizabeth Stone:
Making the decision to have a child - it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking outside your body.

Erma Bombeck:
You hear a lot of dialogue on the death of the American family. Families aren't dying. They're merging into big conglomerates.

Evelyn Waugh:
Don't hold your parents up to contempt. After all, you are their son, and it is just possible that you may take after them.

Francis Bacon:
He that hath a wife and children hath given hostages to fortune.

Francis Bacon:
Important families are like potatoes. The best parts are underground.

George Bernard Shaw:
If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance.

George Bernard Shaw:
Perhaps the greatest social service that can be rendered by anybody to this country and to mankind is to bring up a family.

George Burns:
Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.

George Santayana:
The family is one of nature's masterpieces.

Harry S Truman:
I have found the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then advise them to do it.

Helen Keller:
A man can't make a place for himself in the sun if he keeps taking refuge under the family tree.

Isaac Rosenfeld:
In every dispute between parent and child, both cannot be right, but they may be, and usually are, both wrong. It is this situation which gives family life its peculiar hysterical charm.

Jane Howard:
Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family:
Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.

Jessamyn West:
Writing is a solitary occupation. Family, friends, and society are the natural enemies of the writer. He must be alone, uninterrupted, and slightly savage if he is to sustain and complete an undertaking.

John Donne:
As states subsist in part by keeping their weaknesses from being known, so is it the quiet of families to have their chancery and their parliament within doors, and to compose and determine all emergent differences there.

Lookig for a family and children scrabooking quote? (I)

noreply@blogger.com (Co0L Ary) — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 02:36:00 +0000

I know some of you trying to find a family and children quote to use in a scrapbook. Here's what i found, enjoy ^^

-There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved.
-Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
-Life is a school of probability.
-A man is happy so long as he chooses to be happy and nothing can stop him.
-Smile if it kills you.
-There are times when parenthood seems nothing but feeding the mouth that bites you.
-Family is a mixed blessing. You're glad to have one, but it's also like receiving a life sentence for a crime you didn't commit.
-It is hazardous to shake a family tree. One never knows what will fall out.
- 'A brother is a friend given by Nature.' ~ Jean Baptiste Legouve
- To the outside world we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were. We know each other's hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time. ~ Clara Ortega

(About Family)

One of the greatest gifts
That life can give to anyone
Is the very special love that families share...
As years go by,
It's good to know that there will always be
Certain people in our lives who care.
For there are countless things
That only families have in common
And memories that no one else can make...
And these precious ties that bind a family together
Are bonds that time and distance cannot break.
How fortunate we are
When we have relatives to love us,
It makes the world a happy place to be...
Few gifts in life
Will last as long
Or touch the heart as deeply
As the very special gift
Of family.
-Craig S. Tunks

(About Children)
Cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow
For babies grow up, we've learned to our sorrow
So quiet down, cobwebs
Dust, go to sleep
I'm rocking my baby, and babies don't keep.
-Anon.

You are a marvel. You are unique. In all the years that have passed there has never been another child like you. Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you move. You may become a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel.
-Pau (Pablo) Casals

Most of the people who will walk behind me will be children so make the beat keep time with short steps.
-Hans Christian Andersen

This is the reason why mothers are more devoted to their children than fathers: it is that they suffer more in giving them birth and are more certain that they are their own.
-Aristotle

Toys tossed on the floor
Hand prints on the wall
Slamming of the door
And footsteps down the hall

Boxes made into towers
Covers turned into tents
Voices get a lil' louder
Guide lines get a lil' bent

Boxes now go untouched
Covers in a folded pile
Silence never was so much
Guide lines never been n' awhile

Did we waste our time a way
We once had back then
Never taking time to play
To 'oft we walked right past them

Now they're grown and gone
The house stands still and neat
Only memories left to carry on
Oh, how our hearts do often weep

Would we change time if we could
Would we play a bigger part
Did we get to wrapped up in the world
For now we're left with just
Memories of the heart.
-Gloria Babb

There is nothing sadder in this world than to awake Christmas morning and not be a child.
-Erma Bombeck

There are only two lasting bequests we can can hope to give our children. One of these is roots; the other, wings.
-William Hodding Carter, Jr.

Alas, regardless of their doom,
the little victims play!
No sense have they of ills to come,
Nor care beyond to-day.
-Thomas Gray

Make a memory with your children,
Spend some time to show you care;
Toys and trinkets can't replace those
Precious moments that you share.
Money doesn't buy real pleasure,
It doesn't matter where you live;
Children need your own attention,
Something only you can give.
Childhood's days pass all too quickly,
Happy memories all too few;
Plan to do that special something,
Take the time to go or do.
Make a memory with your children,
Take the time in busy days;
Have some fun while they are growing,
Show your love in gentle ways.

'Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.'
-Antoine De Saint-Exupery

ABOUT Mothers

All women should know how to take care of children. Most of them will have a husband some day.'
-Franklin P. Jones

For a mother is the only person on earth
Who can divide her love among ten children
And each child still have all her love.
-Anon.

Who ran to help me when I fell,
And would some pretty story tell,
Or kiss the place to make it well?
My Mother.
-Anon

'A mother is she who can take the place of all others but whose place no one else can take.'
-Cardinal Mermillod

Life began with waking up and loving my mother's face.'
-George Eliot

'Mother's love is peace. It need not be acquired, it need not be deserved.'
-Erich Fromm

RICHER THAN GOLD
You may have tangible wealth untold;
Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.
Richer than I you can never be --
I had a mother who read to me.
-Strickland Gillilan

'The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.'
-Theodore Hesburgh

'A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie.'
-Tenneva Jordan

Chronos Releases IScrapbook 3

noreply@blogger.com (Co0L Ary) — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 02:14:00 +0000

Chronos has released iScrapbook 3, a major upgrade to its digital scrapbooking software. The new version includes twenty new templates, font and cover flow previews, and faster page loading.

Like the previous, well-received edition, the latest offers an easy and good-looking way to create scrapbook layouts chock full of photos, artwork, captions, and other graphical elements. The templates are customizable, and provide a quick way to get started on a project. iScrapbook plays nice with iPhoto, streamlining the process of actually getting images into your scrapbooks.

iScrapbook 3 comes with 25 "basic" iScrapKits and 16 bonus kits. This upgrade introduces Smart Templates, which allow users to customize placeholder elements, such as text boxes or ribbons, much more quickly. These searchable packages of artwork images include creative shapes, word art, embellishments, and other designer graphics. The new cover flow window (which looks a lot like the one in iTunes) lets you browse for artwork or themes to insert into your project.

The new font preview feature shows how your caption or text will look in a variety of fonts and styles. If you're in need of further visual stimulation, there's even an animated mode that makes the text fly by in the preview window. As it always has, iScrapbook offers the ability to export or print pages; you can order a professionally printed version, too.

iScrapbook 3, available now, requires Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later. You can download a free, fully functional trial version. A single license for the software is $50. A family pack is $90, and allows up to five computers. Owners of previous versions can upgrade the single license for $30, and the family for $50.

Serif Digital Scrapbook Artist 2

noreply@blogger.com (Co0L Ary) — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 03:36:00 +0000

Creating a scrapbook should be fun, and Serif’s Scrapbook Artist 2, which is similar to its popular Pageplus desktop publishing program, is designed to make it just that.
First impressions were good: installation was simple but we wouldn’t recommend installing all 70 of the fonts on offer, which will clutter up your computer (they can be installed individually later).
If you do have too many fonts we recommend Cfont Pro.

There are five templates supplied, which the program calls Digikits, and more can be downloaded from the internet, some for a fee. Each template has five layouts. Digikits can also be created from scratch and there are plenty of images, frames and layouts from which to choose.
Once this is done and the actual editing begins, things get a little more complicated and more like a standard desktop publishing program.
The interface is busy, with lots of different windows. For example, it took us some time to work out how to replace the sample photos. The answer was in the help files, which we found fairly easily, but it wasn’t clear immediately. Photos should be added to the Photos panel and can then be dragged onto the photo frame, where they are automatically rotated to match the frame.
Digital Scrapbook Artist's sister programs Pageplus and Webplus (the equivalent programs for page and website design) both include videos as well as PDF excerpts from the full printed manual. There are lots of similar videos included in Scrapbook Artist 2, but we found them hard to find among the toolbars.
For those willing to explore the options, there are some powerful tools included. The stencils are good for arty effects: drag and drop a stencil onto a page, then use the paint tool and then lift the stencil from the page. Established users will recognise this as what’s normally called a mask but Serif deserves credit for making the process very accessible here.
Scrapbook pages can be printed, exported as PDFs or uploaded to the Serif Daisy Trail website.
While it might not live up to the expectation of being as simple as cutting and gluing photos, Serif Digital Scrapbook Artist 2 has enough feautures that it rewards the time spent learning how to use it and is a good way of making impressive albums.

Manufacturer: Serif 0800 376 5353

Hmm, i think using this software can make a scrapbook a lot more fun, don't you think?

Inspired by Shoes | I Scrap, U Scrap

noreply@blogger.com (Co0L Ary) — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 01:21:00 +0000

A couple weeks ago, I bought a new pair of sandals and ever since then I’ve been obsessed with turning the accents on them into an embellishment.

(Aren’t they cute?)

Last night I decided it was time to experiment. Turns out, it’s really easy!

1. Choose double-sided patterned paper and punch four circles from it. (If you don’t have a circle punch, do what I did last night—just trace around a drinking glass and cut out with scissors.)

2. Sprinkle a little bit of water onto each circle to make it easier to bend the paper.

3. Gently fold each circle in half, and then in half again. You don’t want to crease the paper—instead curve it to give the folds dimension.

4. Set the folded pieces somewhere to dry. As they dry, they will stick in the shape you folded them in. You can either hold the accents in that shape as they dry or stick a pencil or pen in one of the folds to hold everything in place. (I ended up with a couple accents that dried really quickly and a couple that took longer. Since I was getting impatient waiting for them to dry, I used my blow dryer on a low, warm setting to help them along.)

5. Once the accents are dry, you can start playing! I did reinforce the shape with an adhesive dot holding down some of the folds.

I used my accents to create a really quick flower for a thinking-of-you card.

Scrapbooking Quotes and Sayings – The Perfect Words for the Perfect Layout

noreply@blogger.com (Co0L Ary) — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 01:16:00 +0000

This is good news for those who love to scrapbook. Far too often you are left staring at a half-completed layout plan and you just know that to make it perfect you need to find the right quotes and sayings.

If you take the time to search out the best databases of quotes and sayings online can fill each layout with the perfect words. It will be like someone just took the words right out of your own head slapped them down on the page beautifully.

Pulling it Together

Properly placed quotes and sayings can pull different elements of a layout together. The placement of the quote or saying used will depend on how long it is and where it will fit best with your embellishments and pictures, but you should play around with it until you find a nice spot that pulls all other items together.

For instance, you can use a colored pen to write in your quotes and sayings. This allows you to break up other features that contain too much of one color by writing in a contrasting color that will really stand out. You can also use colors or a change in fonts that will make other features on the page stand out.

In the end your quotes and sayings should look as if they were naturally spoken just to go on that page. They should contribute to the overall layout without completely dominating or sinking into the background as if nonexistent.

Creating Paper Piecing

Another option for incorporating the right quotes and sayings into a scrapbook page is to create paper piecings that incorporate the words of the saying. This works best for short quotes or sayings that are just a few words long. You can create cut-outs of each word, perhaps with some decorative design if possible, and put them together in a nice way on the page so the words can be read together.

If you are talented with paper piecing you can create small embellishments from the same paper so other parts of the layout coordinate directly with your quotes and sayings.

The Right Quotes and Sayings

Picking the perfect quotes and sayings isn’t very difficult if you have already picked out the pictures, paper, embellishments, and other elements of the project. If you have a specific theme in mind you can find websites that offer quotes and sayings by category and search the categories related to your theme.

If you don’t have a theme in mind just spend some time looking at the photos to be incorporated into the layout and see what they bring to mind. For instance, if you have your twin toddlers pictured in a bubble bath together you could go with something simple like “Splish Splash, Takin’ A Bath.”

Once you find quotes and sayings websites that you love, bookmark them so you can go back when designing other layouts that need the special touch of well spoken words. Visit our website for more information on http://www.desiquotes.com
