If you love scrapbooking, you’ll definitely love the iPhone/iPod touch app called Coolibah. It’s a premium digital scrapbooking app for all your iPhone and iPod Touch photos.

Creating a new scrapbook is very simple and only takes seconds! There’s a free kit that’s pre-installed when you purchase the app. Start a new page by picking a background for your layout. Then add a photo, a few embellishments, and maybe some text. Then viola, you’re done creating your first digital iPhone scrapbook page! Now repeat the steps by adding another page to it and another, and before you know it, you’ll have an entire book documenting your vacation or subject!

Once you’re done, export the book and the pages will be added into your Photo roll. If you like, these can be easily used to print great 4×6 prints as well, or be uploaded to various social networks.

To me, browsing the gallery is one of my favorite things to do in the app. The gallery includes beautiful kits with embellishments created by premium designers. Kits are free or costs about 99 cents each. This is denoted by a gift icon (free) or a dollar sign. You can even browse the elements in the kits before purchasing them.

Some editing features include adding one or more photos to pages, resizing, rotating, and adding shadow to embellishments, as well as sending elements to the foreground or background. There is also the undo, redo, and delete options. When selecting an element to edit, it will be highlighted in yellow. Use one finger to move it on the page, two-finger pinch to resize it, and three fingers to rotate the embellishment. You can personalize your page even further by adding text in a variety of fonts and colors.

Some features I’d like to see in future builds would be:

• Ability to view new kits in the gallery on any type of connection (currently viewable on only wifi)
• Ability to reorder the pages in a scrapbook
• Ability to combine pages indifferent scrapbooks

Overall, this app is a fabulous solution on how to organize and dress up your iPhone photos, or fill in that scrapbooking itch while on the road! It’s a lot of fun, especially when you’re on vacation. It only takes a few seconds to create a fun postcard to email or post! For more tips, tutorials, and information, see the official website or the App Store.

I was at Walmart today and found these cute whale stickers! They were on clearance, so I picked up two packets of “Fail Whale” stickers. ;)

Usually, a sheet of clear stamps is about $9.99. These sets come with at least 5 sheets. :) Happy Costco shopping!

Be sure to stop the scrapbook section at places like Walmart too! Although the selection is small, you can find a few unique things too. This is at the Honolulu Walmart. I couldn’t resist picking up a Hawaiian scrapbook kit.

Every scrapper needs adhesive! So I was very happy to find this deal at Costco today. A 6 pack of Memory Stor Double-sided Adhesives for only $13.99. They range from $3-6 each at most places. Hope you pick some up soon!

My CuttleBug arrived last week before my trip! I’m so happy. :D I haven’t had the chance to use it, but will soon. And I’ll let you know how that goes!

Don’t know what it is or does? Read more about it here!

And there’s also handmade paper (beautiful stuff!) on sale for $9.99.. from $23.99.

Woot. I got this new Crop-a-dile set at Costco. It was originally $40, but there’s a $10 instant rebate on it, so I got it for $30. Not bad, considering the tool itself costs around $25. You then get all those eyelets for only $5. :) Get them while they last! There was only a few left at my local Costco.

Instruction video on how to use the tool.

Ribbons were on sale though… so I bought all kinds of ribbons! I also bought some transparencies too. I love those. I love ribbons too!

I got some paper for my wedding and japan projects.

And check out these cute brads.
