Digital Photo Editing, Photo Memories & Scrapbooking

Want to learn how to edit and enhance your digital photos?
Don't have a digital camera? Just ask the place the develops your film to put the photos on a CD for you!
Got a digital camera but don't know how to burn the photos to a CD? Bring your camera to us and we'll show you how!

Bring your CD full of photos or your digital camera over to The Mouse Pad and get in on the hottest trend for saving your memories. We have tools for digital editing and creating fabulous pages to hang on your wall, in your locker, email to a friend, or save in your scrapbook. We have a very awesome wide-format photo printer (the Canon i9900) and matte photo paper. Check out the rave reviews.

We also have a great scanner, the CanoScan 8400F. It scans both photos and film! A spectacular 3200 x 6400 color dpi resolution (max.) and 48-bit color depth, for over 281 trillion possible colors. This handy new tool can scan, email, print, and create a PDF image of your document, with just the touch of a button. Come check it out and bring your old photos or negatives.

We offer a Scrap Pack for $99 that includes a great and easy-to-read tutorial book, one pack of matte photo paper, a blank CD, an in-house developed step-by-step guide to the basics of page development, and a coupon to CottageArts for additional materials.

In addition, you'll purchase our standard flex-passes for the time you'll need to learn and practice. And, if you really want a personal tutor, Anna or Thene can provide that. See Personal Tutoring on our price list page.

Boys/Guys/Men: Don't think this can't include you! Create a photo collage of your latest woodworking creations, model planes, or fishing trips.

Teens: Create great gifts for friends using photos from recent special events like Homecoming, birthday parties, or the entire freshman year.

These pages can be emailed or printed. They are saved as jpg files to your CD. And, the components (the layers) can be reused and customized in future pages.
