I started making online scrapbooks a few months ago and have really been enjoying it. I have found it incredibly easy and fun! So let's take a look at some of the benefits of creating online scrapbooks.
Ease Of Use
When you make a paper scrapbook you have to deal with stickers, special scissors, the right paper and a ton of other factors. When you use an online scrapbook, like smilebox.com, all of those difficulties are taken away. This site makes it incredibly easy to create a scrapbook without putting in half as much effort. You get to choose where stickers go, what the page layouts look like and how pictures are cropped--all with the click of your mouse!
You won't have to deal with making a mess with paper, taking your time to cut things up or perfectly positioning your pictures into place. Everything is done on your computer so you don't have a mess to clean up and it just takes a few minutes to create pages that look professional and perfectly put together.
Easy Upload of Pictures
You can easily upload all of your pictures to smilebox.com (which is my favorite site for creating online scrapbooks!) through a digital camera, computer files, memory card or even by scanning in photos. You can use pictures you took a long time ago or those that are most recent; you get to choose. The best part is that once you upload these into your account, you will be able to save them to use whenever you want. This gives you a lot of flexibility when it comes to changing out pictures and swapping out pages or layouts.
Range of Design Options
Imagine making an amazing scrapbook page that has all design aspects that you have ever wanted! Do you want to add in a quote? You can do that! You can also add in words, ribbons, bows, borders and a ton of other things to make page designs all your own. There are also pre-made layouts you can use if you don't want to create your own. It's a lot less time consuming to create online scrapbooks than it is to make one out of paper.
Some of the layouts readily available on smilebox.com include: pets, graduation, wedding, travel, sports and kids. There are a lot of others and you can personalize all of them with embellishments and other personal touches. The possibilities with the designs are endless so you can make a really unique scrapbook that you can be proud to show off.
Sharing With Family and Friends
When you're finished creating your scrapbook you can choose to share it in the way that you want. For example, with Smilebox you can post your finished scrapbook on Facebook or you can e-mail it to friends and family. You could also choose to print it if you want to save those memories in a physical book that you can hold in your hand.
Personalized scrapbooks can also make for great gifts all throughout the year. They are great for birthdays, special holidays, anniversaries and many other special occasions that happen all year long. If you create online scrapbooks for others, it will show that you put a lot of thought into your gifts.
Have You Tried Creating An Online Scrapbook?
@RubyHelenRose that's brilliant to hear and thank you for the feedback which I really do appreciate :-)
This is what I have been looking for! My scrapbooks never get finished with all the paper and pictures I still have laying everywhere. Now I can get some done, I just know it. SO appreciate your helpful information everywhere I look.
@kimbesa that's exactly what we started creating them for - creating a part of our genealogy as a gift for each member of the family so do let me know if you try it out!
This is a very appealing idea! I can see putting together some of these for family members, around the lives of the common ancestors, too. I will help preserve my research.
@BrendaReeves thanks very much and I must admit we love it - do let me know how you go on!
I have got to take a look at this. It would be a much easier way to scrapbook. Thanks for letting us know about it.
@KathleenDuffy that's brilliant and they really are great fun and you can do so many different things. Love the idea of making a birthday card and do let me know how you go on.
This looks great! I didn't know this sort of thing existed. Thanks ! I will try it out as I want to make a birthday card for my grandson.
