I love the idea of scrapbooking but don't like the idea of having a billion bins of tiny little pieces of "stuff" to store. I know I could spend a fortune on papers, tools and such so I have never taken up the hobby. That is until now. I found digital scrapbooking. The idea is the same. You add papers and elements to a "page" and fit your pictures in. The only difference is that you are doing this all from your computer in graphic editing software.
The layout above was made using Ronna Penner's Express Yourself kit at www.scrapadelic.com . I also used template 6 but there is no credit page included with the file. If you know who the designer is, email me. I'd love to give them credit!
There are several different softwares that you can use such as Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro an the free Gimp software. You can search for digital scrapbooking kits on the net. There are some really talented artists out there. Be sure to search blogs for digital scrapbooking artists as well. They often hide their freebies there. Here are a few links that I like.
It is wise to purchase an external hard drive to store all of these downloads and NOT to have satellite internet. :) When you are finished with enough pages for a book, you can upload them to a photo site like http://www.snapfish.com/ and have them print them into a bound book.
