Personally I use Darktable which is probably a bit overkill for what you need.  My next thought was Inkscape which is often recommended but having a play around with it, it doesn't seem very intuitive.  What I would suggest you have a look at is Fotoxx.   Seems to do all you ask and pretty simple to use with a small footprint.
