Digital Scrapbooking FREE eBook and Stuff

I wrote this eBook because I constantly get asked the same questions about becoming a digital scrapbooker:

What kind of software do you need?

What kind of printer do you need?

What kind of supplies do you use?

How do you learn to start digitally scrapbooking?

How do you file your digital scrapbooking supplies?

What do you do with your layouts when you are finished with them?

...and more...

Finally, I decided that I better just answer them all at once and this FREE eBook was the result. It covers all of the basics and should get you going.

Here's the tale of woe part....

I used to be a happy paper scrapbooker. Then I started working for major paper scrapbooking companies and discovered that some people thought that I was a "bad" scrapbooker and that my layouts were "cheesy". In an effort to overcome my problem, I started accumulating lots of supplies.

My stash got bigger and bigger (in fact, I ended up with an entire room full of them) and my layout production almost stopped because I was afraid to ruin all of that pretty stuff.

"I'm not good enough," I thought. "People will laugh if they see my layouts."

I wished for the good old innocent days before I had worked professionally in the industry. I had enjoyed my hobby back then.

Here's the crisis that led to my solution...

But then a miracle happened - at least I consider it to be one.

After I started ScrapGirls.com I suddenly had to have surgery on my left wrist. I couldn't use my hand! All I could do is mouse.... and I had to make layouts for our newsletters! I couldn't make paper ones anymore.

Oh no.

And so I HAD to learn how to make digital scrapbooks for our samples or we would be in trouble. And I HAD to learn FAST!

I dove in and figured it out myself because I couldn't find any good resources that taught me how to digital scrapbook in a conscise, methodical way. I found some random tutorials around the web. I found things that talked about software from a photographer's perspective. But I couldn't find anything that taught me what I needed to know. I had to force myself to figure it out (of course, there were some crying and mouse throwing moments that occurred...)

This is the happy part!

After I learned to make digital scrapbook layouts, I felt like I had been let out of jail! All of the things about paper scrapbooking that caused me to seize up when creating were GONE! There was no way to ruin paper, mess up embellishments, destroy my photos, or make unrepairable layouts. I could fix anything as quickly as using the undo command. I could even delete the entire layout and start again and I hadn't ruined a single thing.

This means that I can now play with my supplies and have fun. And you know what the best part of all is? Now, I don't care if anybody likes my layouts or not because I like them and the whole experience. Digital scrapbooking did that for me and that is why I love telling people about it so much!
