The new tutorial shows you how you can use all the free backdrops that you can download from this site.
All the backdrops on this site are square since they have been created to simulate the conventional scrapbooks -- we'll therefore need to start with a square PowerPoint presentation that also has the right resolution. And even if you don't understand terms like resolution and dpi -- no worries, just follow these steps (we've made everything drop dead simple for you!).

Scrapblog is an awesome site that lets you create online digital scrapbooks -- and it works so much like PowerPoint! They have added a slew of new improvements:
Photo Cropping: The new photo cropping options now allow you to crop to cookie cutter shapes like circles, rectangles, and stars. There's also a freehand scissors tool that lets you cut edges any way you want. And an eraser option lets you erase areas of photos as required!
Photo Editing: Scrapblog now provides one-click effects -- these effects include 12 new built-in effects like black and white, sepia, antique, matte, vignette, a comic book effect, and even the ability to flip your photo. There are also advanced options that allow you to adjust the contrast, saturation, tint, or other fine grained settings.
New Themes: Scrapblog now also provides new themes, stickers, backgrounds and frames.
