Scrapbooking Theme – Emojis
Emojis are a fun way to communicate with our loved ones, family, friends and other people. These ideograms and smileys can add a dash of personality to even the most boring conversations. They exist in various genres which include facial expressions, objects, animals and more. They are much like emoticons except that they are actual pictures and not just typographics.
Emojis have been around since the 1990s and since then, they have spread like a wildfire! Now they are widely used by people all over the globe. They just can’t get enough of them and we can’t blame them because, in all honesty, emojis are fun to use. They have been a great way to connect different cultures and bring a clearer expression between different races with just a click of our fingertips.
Whatever mood you’re in, we’re pretty sure there’s an emoji to express that! Why not add that idea to your next scrapbooking project and show how you feel. Here are some wonderful layouts you can take inspiration from.
How to install fonts to use in PaintShop Pro
You might have found some interesting fonts that you would like to use in PaintShop Pro, but typically, you might not want to install every single "cool" font because, although you might want to use them with a graphics program, installing a font means it will also be available in any other program, including text editors like Word, which might not be what you want, if you fall in love with hundreds of fonts!
Scrapbooking Theme – Indoor Plants
Feeling stressed out? Wanted to boost your mood? Feeling unhealthy? Indoor plants can help you with that! Aside from decorative purposes, these plants can also act as indoor air purifiers.

Some people find indoor plants as a very cool item to collect. They like them as they add beauty to any room as well as bring happiness and attract luck. For others, they love seeing plants inside their homes or workplaces because it makes them feel more alive and more productive. Whatever the reason is, there’s always something beneficial about having plants around.
Do you like collecting indoor plants? Do you find joy in seeing how your houseplants grow? You might want to consider making a scrapbook page about your love for these things. Here are some great layout ideas to take inspiration from.

When a Drop Shadow is not a Drop Shadow
PaintShop Pro has one command that is used very often, and it is the Drop Shadow.

But it can also be used for other purposes. Let's look further into this command.
How to add Glowing Lights
You might have some evening photos and you wish the lights were on to give a glow to the overall image. Maybe you took the picture just a bit too early in the day for the lights to be on or someone just didn't turn them on. Nevertheless, you can add some light with your PaintShop Pro.
Create your Custom Toolbar
