For part one of this project:

Holly Gallo will be walking you through how to edit and store your photos in a program called Memory Manager. Some of its features are:

• Import images from a digital camera, scanner or existing files

• Store audio and video clips and all image data • Create and spell check journaling before you print • PrintTrack™ allows you to see printed and unprinted images with one click • Image enhancement features such as color correction, red eye and cropping • Album preview panel • PicFolio™ Album layout options • StoryBook Creator 2.0 Software is included in the software • Automatic backup option • Image share via e-mail

Holly will either be showing this on a projector via her laptop, or you will be viewing it on her laptop as she works.

For part two of this project: Bridget Coughran will be walking you through creating a digital storybook using Storybook Creator 2.0 software. Storybook Creator allows you to tell your story beautifully and quickly even if you have never created a scrapbook. 34 free predesigned themes are available to create layouts for storybooks in 3 sizes.

Things to Bring: Bring your PC laptop and some digital photos to try out the software and create a page print of your latest photos. We will have a printer so you can print your work there! Don't have a PC laptop to bring? Bring your digital photos and we will have a laptop for general use. Each person will receive their own CD of Storybook Creator 2.0 to take home.

*Modpodge Magnets: Please bring photos (kids, pets, whatever you like) the size of a 50cent piece to personalize this project. Please note we will have images available for you to choose from as well.

No experience necessary--just a willingness to be inspired and have fun!
