As my final update for my network learning project, I explored the one remaining technique that I had not yet explored: Online Scrapbooking. For the template above, I used the free application, Smile Box, to create a quick and easy scrapbook page. The download of the application is free, and so are many of the templates. The process of using the application is not only easy, but it can save you a ton of money for the scrapbook product that is being produced. It all depends on if you prefer your embellishments to be printed from the online templates, or 3-d like handmade scrapbooks.
1) The first step is to pick the template that you want to put your pictures in.
2) Select the pictures to insert into the template.
3) Place pictures in the template and size them accordingly.
4) Add any text or additional embellishment
5) Save your work and either a) print it at home, or b) order the book to be sent to your house!

Overall from this project, I have learned that there are many online resources out there that can help someone learn how to do essentially anything. I have used sources like Storify, YouTube, SmileBox, Pinterest, and many more in order to learn new techniques and inspirations to create the perfect scrapbook. The end product resulted in a combination of pages made by my own two hands with embellishments from aquariums, zoos, and Disney. The scrapbook also contains pages that were created through Smilebox. My biggest challenge with this project was being able to find time to be able to express my creative side - especially with the lack of time from my internship, school, and my real life job as well. Although it has been a long journey, I am proud of all that I was able to learn :)!
