Digital scrapbooking?

Can someone tell me what this is all about? Is it easier than regular scrapbooking? Any good websites to get me started? Any pics of how it comes out? I am years behind in scrapbooking and was hoping maybe crossing over to digital scrapbooking may help me catch up!

Hi, Lois!!!! Digital is a lot of fun!!!! Here's a link.
http://scrapbooking.about.com/od/digitalscrapbooking/Digital_Scrapbooking_Free_Downloads_and_Tutorials.htm

My method: I have two Hallmark Card Studios software, on my computer. While they are for card making, one can also use the scrapbook feature, to do digital scrapbooking. There are many digital scrapbooking sites, online, that allow you to download free backgrounds, embellishments, and quickpages. I have done this, and put all those free/for personal use only, images into folders, allowing me then, to make a digital page, on my Hallmark, by: taking a ready made Hallmark scrapbook page, and deleting everything, then, I go into a folder, and select a background/s, embellishments, and a personal pic, to make the page. There are many extras on the Hallmark Card Studio, to make special effects, fonts, kinda like Photoshop, but IMO, cheaper. I suppose some scrapbookers put their digital pages on a CD. I plan to do that, but will also print them Mary

Some of my pages, I printed on glossy photo paper- see next post.

PS You can use the pre-made scrapbook pages on Hallmark; I choose not to. Mary

Re: Digital scrapbooking?

I love digital scrapbooking! Regular scrapbooking got so expensive quickly. Digital scrapbooking can be free. There are a ton of freebie websites or you can make your own graphics, i do both. When i want a book printed i go to shutterfly.
