Fun with Photos

Always trying to find something fun to do with the kiddo, I ran across an interesting site: Scrapblog.com. This is a free service that allows you to create online scrapbooks to share with family and friends.

Now, I'm not a big scrapbooker. And when I do scrapbook, I prefer the cutting and pasting version. However, this site is great for inspiration and, better yet, kid entertainment. After clicking on the "Get Started" button, start with a blank page. Then, find a good picture of your kid's face and upload it to the page. Reduce the size, then copy/paste until you have a page of wallet-sized images of your kid.

Click on the "stickers" button on the right and the scroll through the options (at the time of this writing, I couldn't get the "search" function to work, but you may want to give that a try). Select wigs, crowns, silly hats, etc. by clicking on them. Your kid can help you pick them out, though this step may take a while.

Now, for the fun part! Click "Done" on the stickers page, and all the stickers you selected will be on the left side of the page. Click the one you want, position and size it on your kid's photo, and walla! Your kid with purple hair, as a pirate, at the baseball game...how cool is that?
