What Mom doesn't take a million photos when their first baby is born? The best way to save those photos is through scrapbooking. I know my husband wants me to post a photo of my hobby room and my scrapbook supplies which are sitting neglected and rejected. The hundreds of dollars of papers, punches, embellishments, stickers, ribbons and glazes. All abandoned when I discovered the beauty of digital scrapbooking.
See... even before I discovered digital scrapbooking my supplies were sitting neglected because even though I would buy them I could bear to use them. I could stand the thought of messing them up. I spent the money. What if I hated it once I finished it? (I am OCD that way.)
That is the beauty of digital scrapping. I can cut, paste, turn, rotate, throw away and start over all to my desire and never ruin anything. It is such a freeing process. Plus, it has one more advantage that traditional scrapbooking never had. There are so many FREE supplies out there!
Some of my favorite sites out there:
You can do so many things besides scrapbook pages. There are birthday invitations:
Create a blog header...
Happy scrappin'!

I've started digital scrapbooking exclusively. Now I have decide what to do with all my "traditional" scrapbooking supplies!
I am SO interested in digital scrapbooking. I would like to find out more about it. Can you do it on any computer? How exactly does it work? Can you email me how-to's or maybe a brief explanation or something? jenlharrell@yahoo.com
Thanks so much!
Thanks for the links! Do you use Photoshop Elements for your digital scrapbooking, or something else? I've already got a folder with downloads, just not sure what program to use them with, LOL!
There is a new site out there with FREE video tutorials and lots of friendly digital scrapbookers you can ask questions on the how-to's. It is www.digiscrap101.com.
I use Adobe Photoshop, but lots of people use Photoshop Elements and love it.
A lot of the sites that I get my elements from have great tutorials. If you google digi-scrapbooking for beginners you will get tons of hits.
I am going to check out Legacy's video site. I am always trying to learn new things.
I am still plodding my way through learning Photoshop 7.0. I inherited from my hubby's work, who wasn't using it anymore (poor me, right?).
I haven't really done any actual digital scrapbooking, just photo editing and made a few collages. I'd really like to try it, so thanks for the links!
I've got so many layouts and templates saved but NO TIME!
I just started playing around with Photoshop and digital scrapbooking and I am having a ball! I love your blog, did you make this also with Photoshop? I am doing well with the header, but having trouble with the body of my blog....any advice??
ooh, thanks for all of those great sites, I've only just started to get into digital scrapbooking. I love the 'old' way, but it's just so time consuming and messy LOL.
