It's time to use Flickr!Photo Sharing and so Much More...

The Internet has made it easy for us to post photos of our kids, share ideas with those who have similar hobbies, and create handmade and personalized gifts for our loved ones. What if there was one site where all these things could be accomplished at once?

One of the most prominent features of Flickr is its ability to tag images. This allows searchers to find images by topics such as subject or place names. Flickr also allows users to group photos into “sets” of shots with similar features or places. Sets on Flickr are more flexible than traditional methods of organizing files – one photo can belong to one set, many sets, or no sets.

Flickr is widely used by bloggers as a photo repository. And why not? Users can upload up to 6 images at a time, and Flickr automatically resizes images to a perfect size.

Flickr provides both private and public storage for images and video files. Privacy controls are accessed via a user’s member profile, where a photo can be flagged as either public or private. Private images are visible by default only to the uploader, but they can also be modified for friends and/or family to view. However, in what form have those images shared?

Well, gethering all those exciting pictures to make a scrapbook is the right choice. Flickr helps to share the unforgettable memories of your being with the beloved ones by uploading scrapbooks you made. There are lists of scrapbooks on display on Flickr for people to share happiness and joy. You even can divide them into different categories. Below the scrapbooks are the spoken words about the great feelings and the best wishes for the sweet moments. I love digital scrapbooking, and often make several scrapbooks to upload into my flickr- Scrapbook Studio. Having put it on Flickr, friends or flickr fans will warmly give feedback and share the similar experience with me. I felt great. It was really great to have someone to share all the wonderful things.



Uploading the scrapbooks of the photos to Flickr is simple. There is a web-based photo upload as one would see on other sites, but Flickr also allows users to post the scrapbooks via email attachments. In addition, users can upload directly from their mobile devices. There is also a desktop client for both Mac OS X and Windows for users to add scrapbooks to the site. Users of Windows Live Photo Gallery can also upload their scrapbooks directly to Flickr.

Flickr also rivals MySpace and Facebook for its social networking capabilities. Users can comment on other people’s public photos, search for photos tagged to match interests, and share with the world. Like Facebook and MySpace, Flickr also has an active group community with message boards for discussion. Here is My facebook http://www.facebook.com/jonna1016; My flickr: http://www.flickr.com/scrapbookstudio, welcome to communicate with me!

It's been said that a picture is worth a thousand words. By choosing Flickr as your prime hub for your online gallery, you can control what your image says. So let's start to use flickr today!

What's Collage?

“Collage” is a French word that means the act of gluing or sticking, so anything that you can glue together to form a piece of art can be called a collage.

The beauty of creating a collage is that anything goes. Since you decide how you want your collage to look, no two collages need ever be the same. If you’re looking for symmetry, you might want to make two collages that are exactly the same and use them to frame both sides of a window or a bulletin board, or you can use them as the front and back cover of a photo album.

Photo Collages

The most popular form of collage, of course, is a collage that’s composed of photos. The photos don’t have to be in any particular order, don’t have to tell a particular story and don’t have to be all in color or all black and white. However, if the collage will be composed of photos, search for close-up photos that are crisp and clear.

For instance, if a teenager is creating a collage for her bedroom wall, the first order of business would probably be to round up all the great, fun photos the teen has. Find photos of the teen alone as well as with friends, pets and family members. The photos can then be overlapped, turned sideways or placed upside down, depending how your teen would like them, or placed in a manner that allows the artists to create a picture, such as a flower pattern or a sunburst.

Other Fun Collage Items

Displaying photos alone is the most typical form of collage, but you can also add other materials. A collage can be made even more fun by adding bits of ribbon, stickers, word bubbles, candy and gum wrappers and borders with stencil or rubber stamping decorations. If using candy and gum wrappers, use wrappers that are from your favorite candy and gum. For example, if your name is Clark or Joy, use Clark or Almond Joy wrappers, respectively. Maybe you want to add the labels from your favorite snack foods, such as chips, popcorn, pretzels, cereal names and soda pop.

If the collage is intended to be a portrait or outline of who you are, you might want to add words from newspapers, magazines and food labels. The word Cool, taken from a Cool Whip container, can be added to the collage to signify that you are cool or that you use that word a lot. Or, you can create words with stencils and rubber stamping techniques. Large bold letters or numbers signifying the names of friends, the date and other important events in your life would add to the collage by making it both interesting and timely.

Collage Border

Not only does a border give a collage a definite edge, but it also can be used to define the person the collage is being made for. Create this look by choosing items that say something about the person. A border for a collage that is being made for a teenager or by a teenager can be created out of strips of her last exam paper, strips of ribbon, movie ticket stubs, sashes from pageants she’s won or blue ribbons she’s won over the years in sporting events. Words or messages can also be used as the border.

Collages are generally mismatched bits from a person’s life. Because pictures often tell a story, even when you didn’t engineer the collage in that manner, you’ll be surprised by what other people see or get from your collage upon seeing it for the first time.

How to Make a Collage

It’s very easy to make a collage; you are only limited by your imagination and the things you have around the house. The first thing you will want to do is pick out a background for your collage. You can make a collage on a piece of posterboard, cardboard, even a large piece of paper or sheet of yesterday’s newspaper.

There are no rules that dictate how to make a collage. If you’re doing this project with kids, watch what they do and try to bring the same sense of play to your collage work. If you haven’t done something this unstructured in awhile, you might find it difficult. There’s no right or wrong way to do it; every result is perfect. That can either be freeing or scary, depending on your personality.


A great way to remember your travel adventures is to make a collage of pictures and other mementos. Start with color copies of your favorite travel snapshots, then add things like your airplane boarding passes, tickets from shows, a matchbook from that great Italian restaurant, the lucky penny you picked up on the boardwalk or the perfect shell you found on the beach. This is a perfect way to keep all your memories together and to be able to see those things every day.

It is great fun to make a collage with your children, but even if you don’t have kids you can have fun with collage. Use it as a therapeutic art when you feel burned out on other projects or have had a bad day at work. It brings a wonderful sense of play to your crafts and can make you feel more creative as well.

If you’re at a loss for where to begin, open a software, and take use of the premade templates built-in application to create your own collages in a minute.

Leaf Scrapbooking

A fun way to explore your creativity alone or with your kids is to make a scrapbook. Scrapbookings are great because anything goes. They are a great way to recycle old magazines, newspapers, leaf, cloth scrap and spoiled stamps and to think about materials in new and different ways.

Collage as an art movement was popularized by the cubists, but don’t let that scare you. Just because there are collages hanging on the walls of great museums doesn’t mean collage isn’t a humble art. It can spark your creativity and get you thinking about color, texture, shape and design in ways you never have before.

If you’re at a loss for where to begin, open a magazine randomly. Pull 10 to 20 images or pages out of the magazines in your stack. Don’t question why you are drawn to an image, a phrase or a color, just pull out the pages that speak to you!
