Welcome to DigiScrapChat
Whether you are new to digital scrapbooking, or quite experienced, I hope I can offer some inspiration and encouragement while we share in the passion that is digi scrappin'!
What is Digital Scrapbooking?
Digital Scrapbooking is everything that traditional paper scrapping is - photos, elements, papers, journaling - but instead of using paper and stickers and glue, everything you place on a "page" is in digital format. You create the layout on your computer with software that allows you to work with digital elements, papers and your photos.
If you are new to digital scrapbooking, prepare to be amazed at what is out there for you to use for a digital layout. If you use it in the paper world, there is a very good chance that it has been re-created for digital. A couple of examples:
Papers:
Elements:
Now, remember - while they LOOK like their paper/fabric counterparts, the items shown above are actually DIGITAL items. The papers are 12×12 size JPGs. The elements are in PNG format. These items are from Amy Bleser's "Flowers For Mom" kit, found at Digital Freebies, ACOT, and PolkaDotPotato.
