Ace the SAT

November 13, 2007

“SAT?” you ask.

Nope, I’m not talking about the ol’ pre-college assessment test. I’m talking about Smart Arrangement Technology. The ingenious behind the scenes fanciness that makes RocketLife so easy for anyone (and I mean ANYONE) to use. All you have to do is pick the photos that you want to use and this Smart Arrangement Technology organizes your photos FOR YOU. So instead of spending, like, HOURS uploading photos and arranging them and making changes and… well, you get the point. Instead of the headache, your pictures are arranged and good to go in literally seconds.

Here’s how it works. First, choose your photos from your local hard drive - whichever ones you want to use for your project. In this case, I’m using some pictures that I took on a trip to Philadelphia this summer with my dear friend, Linda. After you select your photos, click on the kind of project that you want to make. I’m going to make a couple of posters (get ready for photo books tomorrow!). Next, click Customize and Order. Just one click and then… ta-da! Your photos are already arranged in beautiful collages for you! Of course, should you want to, you could always further customize and get creative. But with RocketLife, you really don’t have to. One click and you’re done!

So what do you think? Isn’t this easier than spending hours trying to get things “just right?” RocketLife gets them just right every time. And that’s how you ace the SAT.

Turning a Pic into a Background

November 7, 2007

While there are lots of cool backgrounds and themes via RocketLife, sometimes the best backgrounds are the ones you make yourself using your own pictures.

During a recent beach trip with my best pal, Martine, we snapped a lot of pics - us on the balcony of the beach house, us at dinner, us in the car, the beach… We like to commemorate everything, I ’spose.

So when it came time to putting the pics together, I wanted to really showcase how beautiful our surroundings were. I mean, check out how gorgeous the day was:

So how did I do it?

First, choose your pictures and select your project. I picked an 8×10 collage print. Then click Customize Collage Prints.. The first thing you’ll want to do is change your theme. I chose a classic theme and made it plain white. White sounds kinda boring, I know. But just wait. We’re gonna spice it up. After selecting the theme, click the Done button (the big green one at the bottom).

From there, you’ll want to choose the picture in your collage that you would like to set as the background by clicking on it. Then select Copy Photo to Background. Ta da!

Cool, right?

So what do you think? What other kinds of fun pictures would make great backgrounds too?

Halloween!

October 30, 2007

Tomorrow is Halloween and since I don’t have any Lil’ Sheas running around (yet), I tend to dress up the next best thing - my Pug, Lola.

I’m not even going to tell you how many treats I had to bribe her with to get her into this getup…

I decked out this fun Halloween theme with a few Placeable Graphics.  You can tell that I am kind of in love with the Placeable Graphics. Oh, who am I kididng?  I’m totally in love with them.

Julie, a fellow RocketLife-er, must have had the same idea - she made a Halloween collage of her cat, Lydia Rose:

Be sure to check out the cool Harvest and Halloween themes (and Placeable Graphics).   I’d love to see what you make with these themes!  And if you have any questions or want to submit some of your handiwork, please shoot me an email.
