Digital Scrapbooking

A lot of people have been commenting or asking about my scrapbooking pages that I have on my blog so I thought I would tell you a little bit about it.

I just started scrapbooking about three months ago. I never got into paper scrapping before that because it was too much money, too time consuming and took up too much space. Yes it is very cute and even a great journal method but I am, unfortunately, much too practical. Chris' cousin, Wendy, introduced me to a computer program called Scrapbook Max that does digital scrapbooking. There are a lot of other programs available to do digital scrapbooking on but this one seemed to be the best deal for the money and was also very user friendly, thus, very practical for me. Digital scapbooking solved almost all of the issues I had with paper scrapping...much less money (I have only spent $50 so far and have completed about 75 pages of scrapping), much less time (let me repeat...I have completed about 75 pages in about 3 months...I don't know any paper scrapper that could do that unless they did it full time) and less space...I keep it all filed away on my computer until I am ready to print and then it will be nicely made into a book (a littler one then you can even do paper scrapping) that I can display on my shelf.) There are a ton of freebies you can download and additional kits that you can buy. Once you have downloaded the zip file. You unzip it, and then you can drag and drop any papers or elements into Scrapbook max when you need them. FABULOUS! It took me about 10-15 hours (spread about over 3 months) to do all 75 pages. The first couple might take a little longer but once you get the hang of it you can go pretty fast. I give digital scrapping two thumbs up.
