Both downloads are the free edition. The .bobo file opens in BoboCreate Desktop.

The editable file imports in BoboCreate Free 0.3.19 or later. It uses one of Free's three design places, and its own artwork does not count toward your three uploaded images. Older versions of the app need BoboCreate activated to import it, so update BoboCreate first.

A make page with a glue base
Low-ink pages and grown-up tips

Snip and stop

Every snip line ends in a STOP bar, so the strip stays in one piece and the fringe stands up.
