Instagram Week!

Instagram is a fun, free app available on iPhones and Android phones where you snap a picture, choose a filter to transform its look and feel, then post it to Instagram and/or share to Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr so all your friends and family can see what you're doing at the moment. It's quite an addicting application! This week we'll show you how you can take these special pictures and incorporate them into your scrapbooking. Melissa Mann shares the first pair of layouts featuring Instagram photos:

Instagram is easily my favorite iPhone app! I LOVE capturing everyday moments -- I don't always have my camera with me, but I sure enough always have my phone with me, which makes it easy to document the everyday -- something we lose sight of. It's the little moments that make life great, so it's important to document them as well as the big moments!!

Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!! LOVE that album!! :-)

[Christa Allgood]

I love catching my kids when I don't have my camera. Like making faces in restaurants or trying on goofy hats at Target!

[Ellie A.]

I LOVE Instagram! & I use it daily. I actually jut took a picture of the heart pancakes I made for the family to start out the week w/yummy love. I've been using it to document & use for my Project Life album as well as the mini's I've made over the Summer so far!

[Kathleen]

I'm looking forward to snapping pictures of my son in restaurants and just out and about. Right now, I'm still on a basic, 4yr old flip phone. However, come fall, I'm finally getting a "real" phone and Instagram will be one of the first apps I download! :)

[Alinor]

[Jenny-Lynn]

I don't have an iphone, but I do have the first version of the ipad so I transfer my photos to instagram. I find that I transfer vacation and nature photos on a regular basis (to use the cool filters and the square shape). Usually I have a specific page or mini album in mind when doing so. (I WILL get an iphone someday!) Thanks for the chance to win!
