Why go Digi? 

So, what are the advantages to Digital Scrapbooking? Here's a list of 10:

  2. You can always hit the "undo" button.
  3. Less storage, less mess, less clean up!
  4. One little piece of paper lasts forever and can be used again and again!
  5. Everything will always match with a little color correction.
  6. You can print the same layout 15 times (for everyone on your Christmas list).
  7. You can personalize everything! Titles, buttons, tags--you name it!

Scrapbooking Fonts 

Free fonts are wonderful! Two things to keep in mind, however. If you have too many on your computer, it can cause problems. Also, always read the terms of service or "Read Me" file for any font. There may be limitations placed on your use of the font by it's creator.

Getting Started 

So, what do you need to get started with Digital Scrapbooking? A lot of money, if you don't already have some of these things...

Adobe Photoshop CS3

Expensive photo editing software.

Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo XI [OLD VERSION]

Or less expensive photo editing software.

The Epson Stylus Photo 1280 Inkjet Printer 

Wondering just how on earth you're going to print out a 12 x 12 digital layout at home? Well, what you are looking for is called a large format printer, like this one from Epson. It can print a document as large as 13 x 19! Now you can print your layouts at the touch of a button.

Or Make Yourself a Book 

There are many websites dedicated to offering printing services for your digital photos, like ShutterFly, SnapFish, WinkFlash or PhotoWorks, to name a few. Many of these services also offer you the option of making your own photo book as well. Turn your digital scrapbook pages into your next coffee table book with the click of a button!

I highly recommend ShutterFly myself. I made a baby book for my son with my digital goodies and I uploaded it to Shutterfly's website. When my book arrived, I just about cried! It simply looked incredible. They do a wonderful job!
