FotoFusion

I told you I would go looking for programs and I have started.

Today, I received a newsletter from Scrapbook.com. In it was information regarding this program called [tag]FotoFusion[/tag]. It is a [tag]digital scrapbooking[/tag] program. It has three different levels you can choose from. They are Scrapbook Essentials for your everyday scrapbooker, Enhanced for those that are a little more involved with their photography than the average person, and Extreme for professional photographers. The Essentials costs $39.95 with the others quite a bit more. They do offer a free trial that you can use for two weeks. You can even choose to try it without the free trial, but if you try to print anything it will have a watermark on it. The free trial allows you to print without the watermark.

I have tried out this program and as in all programs there is a learning curve. The program is really simple to use. You will just have to learn how they have things set up and how it all works. I would say it is easier and faster than PhotoShop Elements which is what I now have installed on my computer. I really enjoyed working with this program. I think if you are just beginning it is great and if you are an experienced digital scrapper, you will enjoy the quickness of it all going together.

I recommend that if a program offers a free trial take it. Use it for a few days and see if it is compatible with you and how you work. Never buy anything you are not totally sure you are going to use and enjoy.

I was a teen in the 80’s so this totally rad Boombox shaped mini album from Traci really speaks to me! She created a rectangle shaped black acrylic album with rounded corners, adding buttons and a handle on the top with a cover decorated to look like a real boombox with speakers, a tape deck, buttons and more. She used the Totally 80’s collection of products from Simple Stories that has lots of bright pink and teal colors with cool 80’s inspired patterns like black and white check and colorful graphics. There’s also load of fun embellishments like a Walkman, high top sneakers, retro TV, camera, hair spray can and more.

I had huge hair in the 80’s and am embarrassed to admit how much Aquanet hair spray I used!

Traci has included her totally tubular signature flaps and pockets in the album too for some radical interactive elements too.

Visit the Artsy Album blog to learn more about this bodacious mini album project.
