Digital Scrapbooking


I started out scrapbooking with all the cardstock, stamps, inks, stickers, embellishments and so on. I really liked it but it is horrible dragging all that out and cleaning it up afterwards. I have books filled with traditional scrapbooking. Then I started noticing all the wonderful pages people were starting to do over the computer. I thought they looked beautiful. I already had photoshop from all my design work, so I thought I'd give it a try. I sat there and just stared at the first page that I did. It didn't require lugging all those supplies and piling my dining room table with it all. It doesn't require going to the store and spending what extra money I had on pages worth of embellishments. In fact it is alot more eco-friendly this way. No scraps to throw away, no glues, its paperless. Except for printing them out on photo paper. Will I scrapbook traditionally again? Of course, I have books to finish and supplies to use up. But I will most defiently create a ton of digital scrapbook pages and albums for myself and for others! Below is the latest page that I did....
