I have been scrapbooking for about sixteen years. I went to a Creative Memories class and was hooked. But what really got me going was digital scrapbooking. The idea of creating a scrapbook page without physical materials fascinated me.
Five years ago, I followed a step-by-step tutorial that was written by Rhonda Stark in Simple Scrapbooks Guide to Digital Scrapbooking.
I wish that I still had a copy of that full-size layout. I ended up creating the page in a paper format and deleted the file. I only have this small image. As you can see, the file image is not of the best quality.
Today, I have virtually (no pun intended) given up paper scrapbooking. I still have a room full of supplies that I keep telling myself I will use. But it is digital scrapbooking that I love.
- I love being able to find a kit that rocks my socks off and have it in my (virtual) hands without leaving the comfort of my home (and jammies).
- I love that I can crop my photos to any size and shape without having to wait and see what it will look like when I get it back from the photo lab.
- I love Ctrl-Z. Seriously my favourite tool.
- I love that I can easily share my pages without having to scan or photograph them.
- I love that I don’t have piles of paper, scraps, and tools to deal with. All of my scrapbook materials fit on the surface of my desk.
In honour of Digital Scrapbooking Day, I am offering you a photo album of your own. Remember the magnetic albums that held onto your photos like nobody’s business? Well, I recently peeled some pictures out of two that I had kicking around from my childhood and before tossing them, I photographed them. It’s so nice to go retro without having to deal with those sticky pages. Download here.
And also, RanchLady would like to extend the contest date. The giveaway for a free Bandana print binder will be extended until Tuesday November 10th at 6 p.m. I will post the winner on Wednesday November 11th. See this blog post to enter.
