With the new interface, you now have the option to browse the gallery how you’d like! You can choose to browse single rows of projects with linked products easily displayed, or you can view projects in a grid format where images are large and easy to interact with. What’s not to love? Bigger images = better inspiration!

With these interactive icons right at your fingertips, it makes it easier and faster to interact and encourage everyone in the gallery, shop your favorite projects, and keep track of everything that inspires you.

The orange smiley face allows you to easily send a cheer directly from a project! You can share an emoji, customize your comment with fun colors, and leave an encouraging message to users!

Simple 1, 2, 3 upload process for sharing your project
Sharing your project and adding it to the gallery is better than ever! Whether on your mobile device, desktop, or tablet, you can start to inspire others quickly and easily. Let’s walk through how it works.
- Step 1 | ‘Add A Project’: Click on ‘Add A Project’ in the upper left hand corner.
- Step 2 | Upload Images: It is so simple to grab a file from your computer or mobile device to share with others! Click on ‘Upload Images’ to select the images you’d like to upload to the gallery or drag and drop your images into the upload area. (Exciting news! You can now upload up to 10 images at a time! Acceptable file types include: png, jpeg, jpg, webp, heic, heif.) Once you have all of your images ready to upload, select ‘Continue.’
- Step 3 | Reorder and Rotate: During this step, you can easily reorder your images (if uploading multiple images at once) or rotate your image(s) if any are uploaded sideways or upside down. Once you have made any changes and are ready to continue, select ‘Next Step.’
- Step 4 | Describe Your Project: After your image(s) have been processed, it’s time to describe your project!
- Add a title and description to your project to let others know what your project is and how you made it.
- Add your project to an existing album within your own gallery, or create a new album, so you can keep your projects organized and easily look through them later.
- Choose 1-10 categories to place your projects in so that others can easily find it! You can choose from existing categories like scrapbooking, cards, organization, stamping, clean and simple, Christmas, and more, or create your own!
- Tip: Use custom categories for challenges! Users who participate in challenges within our forums can now use custom categories to help organize the projects entered into a challenge. Use the same custom category when uploading, and you will be able to see all challenge projects in a single view! Please note: we are continuing to enhance this functionality to make it easier to find custom category links. Stay tuned for more!
- Once you’ve completed describing your project, select ‘Next Step.’
- Step 5 | Tag Your Products: With this new and improved interface, you can easily and quickly tag any products used to create your project!
- Search for your products by typing the product name into the ‘Search Products’ bar.
- Once you’ve found the correct product, ‘Select’ the item. This will add the item to your ‘Tagged Products.’ During this time, you can also click anywhere on the project to tag exactly where the product was used. (You can even tag products on multiple images inside of your project!) Repeat this process until you’ve tagged all of your products.
- Step 6 | Publish: Once you’ve tagged all of your products, the final step is to publish your new gallery image! In the bottom right corner, click ‘Publish.’ That’s it! Your project is now live in the gallery, where others are immediately able to see it, leave a cheer, and encourage you along the way!
Emphasis on positivity and encouragement for both uploaders and commenters
The world needs more positivity, and the Scrapbook.com Gallery is the perfect place to share encouragement and lift others up! This new gallery has a huge focus and emphasis on positivity and encouragement for both you as an uploader and you as a commenter with the ‘Give a Cheer’ functionality.
- Choose a reaction to show how you feel about a project in the gallery with a simple, fun emoji.
- Personalize your cheer with a colored background for your comment or reaction. How fun is that!
- Write a compliment that encourages the crafter, and let them know just how much you loved their share.
It’s so fast and easy to spread cheer throughout the gallery, whether you are on desktop or mobile. Giving a cheer, instead of commenting or adding up votes, really focuses on positivity and allows everyone to feel encouraged and included in the wonderful crafting community that Scrapbook.com has enjoyed since 1999!
Now, it’s time for you to explore the inspiring Scrapbook.com Gallery. Please remember, we are still implementing certain features and updating some functionality.
