Computer Scrapbooking or Digital Scrapbooking as many call it, is an easy and affordable way to use your creativity to design and enhance your pages utilizing the computer instead of a sheet of paper. There is a wide variety of softwares available for anyone who wants to start creating pages digitally.

Some of the benefits to digital scrapbooking:

  1. Unlimited Supplies–You have the ability to create the color, size, and style of any embellishment or letter you need. From alphabet to eyelets, you are the creator.
  2. Create and Re-create–You have the flexibility to create your design and recreate it if necessary. No more trying to hide the old tape locations when trying to modify a paper design.
  3. Space Saving–Traditional scrapbookers tend to collect every kind of little embellishment, tool, papers, and more, but with digital scrapbooking your screen has all the tools and embellishments you will need. Your hard drive will requirement more megabytes but with todays pricing that is less than the cost of a die cutter.
  4. Time Saver–No need to print out your photos and run to the store looking for the right paper color. It is as easy as a click of the button. If you do not feel creative, you can purchase pre-made pages that are made to drag and drop your photos and write your journaling. Too quick!
  5. Money Saver–Considering the cost of gas today you will not only save money on supplies but also on the gas driving to and from the craft stores! You have the ability to create your own embellishments by scanning keepsakes and items directly on your computer or creating them with your own digital scrapbooking software. And let’s not leave out the fact you have the ability to utilize your digital scrapbooking kits over and over again, unlike scrapbook paper.

Digital Scrapbooking, while it may take a little extra time to learn, is well worth the effort. And just as in your own traditional scrapbooks, you do not have to become an expert digital scrapbooker. Remember the creation is for you and future generations, so it only needs to please you.

Digital Scrapbooks were not created to take the place of traditional scrapbooks, they were created to go alongside. Some people are just more creative with computer tools. You have the ability to have your creations printed into your own storybook to proudly share with others as you do your traditional scrapbooks.
