Smilebox Blog

In recognition of everything teachers do for our kids, Smilebox has launched its new Teacher’s Toolbox program offering qualified teachers a free premium account to the Smilebox service (a $39.99 value).  We’ve also debuted a new lineup of designs created specifically for the needs of teachers including digital newsletters, school-themed scrapbooks, fieldtrip photo albums, school mascot/logo customizable slideshows as well as student activities such as multimedia autobiographies and storybooks. 

If you’re a teacher, you can register for the Teacher’s Toolbox program by clicking here.  If you know a teacher, click here to copy an invitation and send them an email.  Remember, Teacher Appreciation Week is this week!  Show your teacher you care by inviting them to join Smilebox for free!  You know Smilebox is a quick and safe way to showcase your photos and videos - now give it to your well-deserving teacher and make their job a little easier!

If you have questions or ideas for our Smilebox Teacher’s Toolbox program send us an email at teachers-toolbox@smilebox.com.  Check out our new classroom-focused designs in our catalog under “School.”  Additional designs will follow each month. 

Hooray!  Hooray!  It’s National Scrapbooking Day!  In recognition of National Scrapbooking day on Saturday May 3rd, Smilebox is giving away a new free premium Spring scrapbook design.  Simply click here (http://www.smilebox.com/templates/15064/index.html) to download our cheerful “Bright and Fun” eight-page scrapbook.

The square-format scrapbook was designed by Smilebox Studio multimedia artist Rachelle Erickson and offers flexible embellishment, color and title customization with lots of room for journaling.  Best of all, the design can be sent via email, posted to a blog or printed without ads.  Just drag and drop your favorite photos into the template, add your own words and music and it is sure to make your friends and family smile!

Spread the word!  It’s a great way for your fellow scrapbookers to try Smilebox for free.  Offer available Thursday, May 1st through Sunday, May 4th.

Happy Earth Day!  Don’t forget that Smilebox is an easy way to do your part to save the environment (and postage!).  Our collection of egreetings give customers a way to lessen their impact on the planet and stay in touch with friends and family with unique multimedia designs personalized with their own photos, videos, words and music!
