This tutorial shows you how to make a flash slideshow for Mother’s Day in just simple steps with Wondershare Flash Slideshow Builder. Mother’s Day Slideshow Sample Here’s what you need:
1. Mother’s Digital Photos 2. Wondershare Flash Slideshow Builder 3. Songs for Mother (Optional,as background music) Step 1: Import your photos and add background music
Drag and drop your favorite family digital photos to Story Board,and then process them with the built-in editing tool, which include some basic functions like crop, rotate, filter, etc by double clicking the images on the Story Board. Add a bunch of song as background music if you like.Here I add “You Are My Sunshine” for my Mother’s Day slideshow.
Step 2: Select Template
Go to “Template” tab to pick out a template for your flash slideshow so that all photos will share the similar style. To make Mother’s Day, I select the “Love2″ from the Thumbnail Templates. After setting the template, check “Include Intro Movie and Credit Movie” to add Intro and Creadit if you like.
Step 3: Transition and Pan/Zoom Effect
Effect tab allows you to change the predefined transition effect and set motion effect. You only need to select effect from the list and click the “Apply to selected” button to apply or drag it to the Storyboard. Besides, click the down arrow marker to the right of “Applied to selected” button to show up another two commands: “Apply to all” and “Randomize to all”. The former will apply the selected effect to all photos, while the latter will apply random effect to all photos.
Step 4: Decorate the Mother’s Day slideshow
Click “New Text” to add texts, select font, size, color, text effect, etc. for your photos. Here I select Font “Times New Roman”, Size “32″, Color “White”, Effect “Wipe-left”.Also,you can decorate the Mother’s Day slideshow with Bubble,Clipart and Sound.

Before creating, click “Publish Settings” button to make output settings, such as “Slideshow Setting “, “Play Control” and so on.
