Scrapbooking Theme – Siblings

November 20, 2024April 1, 2022 by Cris T.

Siblings play a big role in our lives. They taught you so many life lessons growing up, and most importantly, they showed you how to be the best possible friend you could be. Furthermore, they guide you and help you in different situations. Thanks to your siblings, you're receptive to the golden qualities you seek in a true friend. You learn to be more giving and not to be selfish. There are so many things to be thankful for having siblings.

You and your siblings sure have unforgettable fights and great competitions for the attention of your parents. Despite this rivalry, your siblings are your greatest protectors and best supporters. They may bully you sometimes, or let’s say, most of the times where you start to get really annoyed and they will start to laugh at you. This act is one of their ways to show their affection towards you. No matter what ups and downs you may go through together, you know that you have someone who will truly love you no matter what the circumstances.

How fun is it to have siblings? Are you glad they came into your life? Knowing you have your partner-in-crime and forever best friends in the person of your siblings is such a great blessing from above. Showcase your most memorable photos with them and make your scrapbook pages as captivating as the sample layouts we have below!

Theme – Festivals

September 16, 2024March 1, 2022 by Cris T.

A festival is an event ordinarily celebrated by a community and centering on some characteristic aspect of that community and its religion or culture. This constitutes typical cases of glocalization, as well as the high culture-low culture interrelationship. Festivals often serve to fulfill specific communal purposes, especially in regard to commemoration or thanking to the gods, goddesses or saints: they're called patronal festivals. They may also provide entertainment, which was particularly important to local communities before the advent of mass-produced entertainment.

There are unique festivals all over the world. Cultural, religious, art, and music festivals connect us to our roots, our culture, and our values. They help us celebrate our heritage and our traditions. Whether it’s a new year’s celebration or an art festival with decades of history, festivals are an important part of our lives.

Have you been to some places and attended different festivals? What type of festival did you enjoy the most? Take a look at some great and lovely layouts below that are related to celebrating festivals and be inspired to create your own festival-themed scrapbook pages!

Theme – Honeymoon

September 16, 2024February 1, 2022 by Cris T.

Honeymoon originates from old English and is a combination of two words, “Honey” and “Moone.” Honey represents sweetness like the food, and Moone refers to the period of one month. Couples used to celebrate the first month of marriage drinking Mead (a sweet drink) gifted to them. Honeymoon historically refers to the first month of marriage, which is expected to be the sweetest.

This represents one of the most traditional elements of the whole wedding and one that is highly unlikely to ever go out of fashion, even today. It is the period a couple spends time together alone, enjoying just the company of each other, away from family and friends. The first unforgettable moments as a married couple happen during this event of their lives. It is the time to bond, relax, enjoy things together, go on adventures, reflect on the relationship and what comes ahead. After all the stress of wedding planning, married couples deserve a memorable honeymoon. They usually go on a vacation or a trip to celebrate it.

How did you spend your honeymoon? Whether it could be on a beach, a trip to far away places, enjoying city lights or going on adventures, for sure it was a special one because you are with the one that you will spend your whole life with. Let’s take a look at some of these amazing layouts on how they celebrated the first memorable events of their married lives.

Featured Resource – Character Map UWP

February 13, 2022January 17, 2022 by Cassel

In a previous blog post, we looked at ways to use "fancy fonts" with extra glyphs that are not natively accessible in PaintShop Pro. We explained that using the Character Map, available in Windows gave us access to those glyphs. This is a great option, however, that character map is quite small, and the display of the glyphs can be even smaller. So, let's look at a better alternative.
