First of All--What is Digital Scrapbooking?!
There's no better way to tell you what digital scrapbooking is then to actually show you what digital scrapbooking is! So, here is a small sampling of beautiful pages that were created with nothing but pure digital designs--digital paper, digital embellishments and digital photos. This is what digital scrapbooking is! And as you can see, so many different looks can be achieved. Aren't they beautiful?
Start with the Right Software
Are these programs not in your budget right now? Then be sure to check out Paint.NET, a free open-source program that is pretty darn powerful.
Where do I Shop?
How Do I Know So Much?
Also, be sure to stop by the Sugarplum Paperie blog, where I share little bits and pieces of digi-scrap while I more about the ins and outs of Photoshop. Stop by and download a few goodies!

Need Some Inspiration?
I'm Done... Now What?
You've played around with your software and your new digital goodies and you've made a pretty page that you're in love with! Now what? Well, you have several options:First, I bet you're 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. Another popular option--reduce the size of your layouts to 8 x 8 and print them off at home on your own printer! Or, take a copy of your pages to a popular print shop, like Kinkos or Staples, and have them print them for you.
Also, 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!

- Thank you for this information. I've wanted to create a family heritage scrapbook for a long time but the need for multiple copies always left me wondering how to approach it. I think this just might be the way to go!
