Scrapless Press creates photo birth announcements, birthday party invitations and thank you cards, Christmas cards, save-the-date cards, wedding announcements, graduation announcements and more. Our unique design process gives our cards a handmade, multi-dimensional and realistic look.

Our cards are real 4×6 photographs, professionally printed on Kodak paper in a photo lab (NOT on a home, desktop printer) then hand mounted to white card stock for a finished look, durability and the option of printing or handwriting a message to your recipient.

About the Author - Meg Mateo Ilasco is a designer, writer, and illustrator based in the San Francisco Bay Area. She was in grad school when she started designing wedding invitations for extra money, but the demand for her distinctive designs was so great that she eventually made the business full-time. Her company then expanded into stationery and accessories, and was featured on NBC’s Today and in publications such as The Knot and Islands: Weddings and Honeymoons. She has since sold that business and is launching an eponymous housewares and gift company, Mateo Ilasco. Meg is the author of You Can Wear It Again and The Space Planner, both published by Chronicle Books.

While we wait for Adobe’s Photoshop Express you can get your feet wet with Faux Labs’ web based photo editor and manager. It’s called Splashup!

Splashup is in beta currently and already showing promise. It’s got an interface reminiscent of early Photoshop all within your web browser. They even let you organize, manage and share your photo on Flickr, Picasa and Facebook.

Of course neither of these products will replace the real deal but are meant to bring photo editing to the masses.

Tip: Always work on a copy, and not the original version of your favorite photos!
