A great new product has been taking the genealogy world by storm and it can really help scrapbookers as well!  The Flip-Pal™ mobile scanner is a portable scanner that is mobile, accurate, versatile and compact.  It has a quick scan time and is incredibly easy to operate – we even have a customer with Parkinson’s disease who can work it with easy.  The scanner has high resolution, it runs on batteries and it is incredibly light – less than 2 pounds.  It even fits in your purse!   

A computer is not required for operation as it has an internal memory card like a camera but if you use the computer software available, you can further enhance all your images, create picture art, calendars, cards, slideshows and more!  The software available goes even further to allow you to create business logos, digital scrapbooks, cards, or even build your own website.  

The scanner’s image screen fits 4x6 photos but you can scan larger images as well by scanning each part of stitching it together without seams!  The photo software that is available restore colors as well so old photos can be become new again without hurting the original.  The patented flip-and-scan technology even allows you to scan images still in the album or frame.  You can copy and restore old photos, scan newspaper or old records and preserve your memories forever!
