It's school time again! You're probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer is over. Some kids feel nervous or a little scared on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and maybe even a new school. Luckily, these "new" worries only stick around for a little while. Let's find out more about going back to school.

This year, I've just had a summer vacation with my family in Greece. Greece is a wonderful place that I left my heart there. I'm eager to share these photos with others when I came back. So I decide to make this speical summer vacation photo book. Because I can make photo collages of some photos into one. There are some photo book service company available online. But all of them are kind of lack of creativity. This makes me to use software Photo Collage Studio for my photo book, then print out with digital color printers.

Two pages of this summer vacation Photo Book I created are listed below:

Here's what we'll need:

• 1. Wondershare Photo Collage Studio;
  
• 2. Photos of summer vacations.

Step 1. Create a new collage from template.

Run the program Wondershare Photo Collage Studio and click "Create From Template" and than a pop-up window will prompt you to select a template. Here I pick the first layout.


Step 2. Add photo.

Double click or drag the photo from the left list box to the frame of template and adjust the size of photo in the frame to the best effect by using the editing toolbar upper of the selected photo.

Tip: If you think your photo is too dark or not perfect, use the effect tab to retouch it without hesitation. There are many effects offered by the program, such as old picture, oil, blur, brightness, contrast, embossment and more. Double-click a thumbnail of effects to apply the effect to your photo and right click to cancel.

Step 3. Set the background image.

If you don't like single white color, just set a background image for your photo image. Click the "Set" button and change the background image under "Image" option as showed below.


Step 4. Add your words on photo book.

Write down whatever you like on photo book. The powerful function of text editing like wordarts, shadow, halation, texture can let you show your creativity. Add some photos here and make a collage of them. Get your fun here.

Step 5. Make doodle pieces.

Want some more fun? Well, use Magic Doodle to draw a piece of doodle and add to your summer holiday photo book page.


Step 6. Add decorations.

Decorate your photo pages with some embellishments, such as Clipart, Stamp. Here I add a "Stamp".


Step 7. Add more pages.

Yeah. The first page have been finished already. Now you just need to make more pages with the same steps above. Change the layout and background image to make all photo book stylish.


Step 8. Save & Print out.

After finish whole photo book, save these digital images to your local disk. Then just send these images to Digital Print Shop and tell them what size you want. Soon you'll get this special summer vacation Photo Book to surprise others.
