While our family explores our beautiful area I am known to have my camera always at my side.  I have oodles and oodles of pictures I have taken over the years.  If you are like me and take tons of pictures, the problem with all of these pictures we take on our adventures is what to do with the pictures.  It’s a waste to just let them sit on the hard drive like they tend to do!  I have discovered a fun and easy way to preserve these memories, and I wanted to share it with you!

Artisan 4.0 is a Digital Scrapbooking software created by Panstoria right here in our neighborhood!  I was lucky enough to get to test this software before it went on the market in January, and I have to say, I fell head over heels in love with it!  Artisan 4.0 makes scrapping so easy!

Here’s some of the cool features:

–    Detailed Page Editing: Page editing options including arrangement, sizing, rotation, snap-to-grid, and rulers. Add journaling boxes that support full rich-text editing, with mixed fonts, colors, and styles, as well as text wrapping around page elements.

–    Automatic Page Creation and Color Matching: Let the software figure out which pictures belong together on predesigned pages. Using the autopopulate feature, the software can save the user time by creating the entire book. Change the colors of everything else on the page to coordinate with the selected photo

–    Photo Sourcing and Sharing: Source photos from a digital camera, scanner, or local folder, or pull photos from Flickr or Facebook. Share finished pages on Facebook or Flickr.

–   Customization: Users can create their own elements and pages and save those to re-use. Downloadable art kits will also be available for download in the Panstoria Marketplace.

This video sums up the software perfectly (AND…BONUS…there’s a 20% off code for the software at the end of the video)
