Photos, cards & creating

Creative Companions

Make cards, tidy old photographs, and put pictures where the family can see them.

What these do

You do not need to be an artist. You describe what you want — “a birthday card with a garden on it” — and the tool makes it. Others repair and brighten photographs you already have.

Good for

  • Birthday and holiday cards you made yourself
  • Restoring and brightening old family photographs
  • Sharing a photo album with grandchildren
  • Illustrating a story or a memoir
