Smilebox basic is a free service where you can insert your own pictures and music into a scrapbook page and then email or add it to your blog for free. If you have a Myspace or Facebook account you can also add it there for free. With the basic membership there are adds that will be displayed and you cannot print the design, but you can also purchase the design and then you own the rights to use it over and over and play it full screen with no ads. You can also become a Club Smilebox member for a Free 2 Week Trial (cancel anytime) for $5.99 a month or $39.99 a year and then you can get unlimited access to all premium Smilebox designs, choose from thousands of music options, send your creations without ads, and print keepsakes.

To use it for free, which is what I do, you will have to download their program and you just add your pictures from there. I did this scrapbook in about 5 minutes, and if I was not rushing I could have really made it great. You can choose how many pictures and the layouts you want. You can also add text wherever you want but I chose not to on this layout. There is just so much to choose from. I am a big picture person, but not so much into scrapbooking, but this program combines my two favorites: pictures and digital scrapbooking. If I have sparked your curiosity then view my scrapbook and make your own, whether you try out the FREE version or you do the 2 week trial, you can’t loose! Even $40 for a year (or if you pay monthly it comes out to be $72/year) is a deal when you think of how many great templates and print keepsakes you can make for yourself and for gifts!
