Making a Slideshow of Garden Memories is Quick and Easy

Hopefully, you have looked at My Garden Mosaic slideshow available on the right side of every page.  These are all pictures of my garden!  It was really fun to make with Smilebox and easy to put together in just a few minutes.

I am not a Master Gardener by any stretch of the imagination but don’t you think this slideshow is pretty impressive?  Of course, I picked my best pictures!  But the Smilebox Mosaic design really makes them look even better and the whole slide show looks so professional.

LOTS of Design Choices

Easy step-by-step with hundreds of designs

Easy step-by-step with hundreds of designs

Smilebox has hundreds of digital designs and special effects.  In addition to the generic designs (like the Mosaic that I chose), they have special categories like birthday, seasons, holidays, vacations,  baby, wedding, and many more.   And they add more designs every month.

Impress Your Friends and Family

You just pick your design, upload and drag/drop your digital photos (OR videos), add any captions you want, select the music and embellishments, and go!  Just four easy steps and your masterpiece is created!  You can create slideshows, scrapbooks, or make digital cards using your own photos.  Just think, you can post your garden slideshow on Facebook, email a postcard using your own garden photo, send the first birthday scrapbook to out of town family, create a wedding slideshow for guests, or email a very personalized holiday greeting from your family. They will be so impressed!

It’s really a lot of fun to see your photos or videos look so professional – and for gardeners it’s a great way to keep records and memories of each year.  Smilebox makes it simple and fast to send your creations via email, post on a blog, or even on Facebook or MySpace.

Membership Choices

There is a free version of Smilebox that’s really good.  Initially I thought it would work just fine for me.  However, the very first slideshow I created of our Maui vacation, I knew I wanted to use music from one of our favorite Hawaiian singers.  So, I purchased the Club Smilebox membership ($5.99 per month or $39.99 annually) because of the additional capabilities – the ability to use my own music (still have access to the Smilebox music library), unlimited access to all the premium designs, burn DVDs of my designs, and more.

These fun, easy Smilebox slideshows get our green thumbs up!

    I have received a couple Smilebox photo mosaics as gifts and I absolutely love them. They were a wonderful way to capture memories from a special vacation.

      Thanks, Jennifer. Since you enjoyed the Smilebox mosaics you received as gifts, have you tried to make one yourself? If not, you should try it!

    Gorgeous garden pictures! I have made smileboxes of other things, but I never thought to make one of beautiful scenic pictures. Thanks for the idea!

    I love this idea! Smilebox seems like a great, easy way to share pictures with out of town family and friends.

      You’re right, Allison. You can make your own custom scrapbook using your pictures and one of the many, many designs available from Smilebox. (And new designs are added every week!) Have fun … I know your family will love seeing the pictures in your new Smilebox scrapbooks! Remember, it only takes a few minutes!
