An e-mail has been sent to Cristina and she has 48 hours to respond before a new winner is selected via random.org.   Thanks to all those who entered!

I have tons and tons of pictures and have not done anything creative with them in a long time.  I worry that I'll lose these pictures since the only copies I have are digital.  Now, thanks to Panstoria, I have a great way of making memories last.

Using Panstoria is easy:

• The first thing I experienced with Panstoria is downloading the software.  You have to choose the correct version for your system and what I liked, they explained very easily how to tell what your system is (i.e. 64 or 32 bit).  Installation was quick and easy with just a few clicks and I was ready to go.
• Registration was quick and easy by supplying some basic information and I was ready to go.
• There are two choices to start:  1. Basic Mode;  2. Advanced Mode.  Since I haven't used this software before, I chose Basic Mode.
• I chose to create a photo book although there are many other choices such as posters, postcards, business cards, envelopes and more.  This will be great for my daughter's non-profit.  There are also various sizes you can select from to ensure you get that perfect look you want.  I chose the photo book, 11 x 8.5.
• Your output choices can be saved in various formats for uploading or e-mailing, printing on your printer or uploading to web based printing retailers.
• When uploading your photos, you can select Flickr, Facebook, Picasa or your own files.  It's very easy with select and click and you can choose multiple photos at once.  The software is not slow at all!
• As you move through with your memorable creation, there are hints and tip windows that pop up to help you which is a nice feature for someone new to the software as well as tutorials here.
• There are even free kits to download in addition to ones you can purchase.
• The many functions you can perform such as editing photos, adding embellishments, adding shapes, text and so much more makes the possibilities endless.

I have tried other programs that are photo related and have to say that this was the easiest and quickest program I have used to date.  I didn't spend a lot of time creating this as it's an example to use for my daughter's non-profit but here it is:

I made this too:

My middle child is having a Taylor Swift party so I'm going to make stickers to cover the plastic cups:

I'm definitely getting the hang of the program although I know there is so much more to learn and I can really expand by adding to the kits for more options.  Overall, I really like this program and next, I'm going to have my oldest try it out with her baby.
