What’s a scrapbook without labels to identify specific moments? A scrapbook gains all its quirky character with the labels you put in it, especially if you’re curating one that showcases all the important memories of your kids you want to keep.

You can adjust font sizes to input as much text lines as you want without overpowering other elements of your scrapbook.Instasize also allows you to incorporate striking typography designs in your scrapbook without the need to go through tedious editing processes. Typography is pretty to look at, but it could to be a chore to master and execute, especially with all the editing technicalities involved such as the kerning, tracking, and leading. Instasize’s Text Styles tool has 10 fun text designs that will add a lively touch to your scrapbooks. You can even put in short motivational quotes that will go well with your scrapbook’s theme and they will look like you took them out from a poster!Edit and style photos with Filters
One of the strongest editing features of the Instasize app is its wide selection of artisan crafted photo filters.

You can lighten and sharpen photos, and even adjust the intensity of the filter, and its tints and hues. This gives you more freedom to think of color themes and motifs regardless of the color way or quality of the photos you want to use. Whether you’re going for a light and luminous effect, or thinking of applying a stylish, vintage touch, these Instasize filters will sort you out.Layer images using the Borders ToolOne of the most creative ways to use Instasize is by making full use of its Borders Tool. Aside from having the usual thin proportions for a border, you can minimize and maximize the size of the image and select its location within the border for a layered, collage effect. Instasize already has a decent selection of border styles and prints, but you can push your creativity further by saving prints or images you want and then uploading them to become background images. This layering technique is perfect if you want to emphasize certain themes in your scrapbook. If you’re making one for your baby’s birthday, you can save images of balloons or confetti and then putting your photos on top of them through this tool.
