Snapseed 2.0 Stacks

We’re seeing more and more photo albums and memory books in the 6×8 format. It’s a fun size and a great way to mix up storytelling. Summer is near and families take trips. Have you ever put together a “travel journal”? Recently, my husband and I spent a week in New Zealand. The fancy dSLR […]
