Digital Scrapbooking Tips from Digiscrap Boutique by Veronica Spriggs
You may have heard about the latest craze scrapbooking. And yes while scrapbooking is a fantastic hobby lets take it a step further and explore Digital Scrapbooking.
If you are anything like me you have been to the stores and seen scrapbooking supplies. They are just so cute and charming. Almost irrestible! The only trouble….it seems you may need a second job just to enjoy this hobby! I was at a bookstore and saw a ready made scrapbook album that came complete with elements and cutouts all you needed to do was open get some glue and some photos. Well this book was completely sealed and outside of the fancy cover you really had no idea what was in it.
Well after plunking down a hefty $35 I was gravely dissapointed with what i found inside. Yes fine it served it’s purpose but i felt cheated. The contents inside were lack luster and didn’t offer much variety. To get what you really want you are going to need to be more selective and also purchase items seperately in order to get unique elements and papers. You could spend hours browsing the craft stores gathering ideas, filling your cart and emptying your wallet.
One thing scrappers have found is that after the purchase of these scrap items they have boxes full of scrapbooking supplies. Because of the time consumed sorting thru these items, cutting and pasting and cleaning up all the mess afterwards they begin to lose the zest for scrapping they once had.
So then what’s the answer? What are you going to do with all of those photos? You still want to display them in a way will leave viewers gazing in awe. Well I’m glad you’ve asked this question! The answer? It’s simple, go Digital! Digital Scrapbooking that is!
Digital scrapbooking offers so much versality with so much affordability. There are so many reasons to give digital a try. Even if you want to alternate between digital and paper. Digital scrapbooking takes scrapbooking to new heights. Here are some of the main reasons many are going digital.
* Say hello to digital and goodbye to the mess of paper scrapbooking. Digital scrapbooking is done on your computer and thats where all the cutting and pasting takes place. So thats where all the mess stays. Once you are done completing your layout hit save, print and you are done! Nothing to clean up and no need to keep the kids away!
* The versatility of Digital Scrapbooking. Unlike traditional scrapbooking the elements in digital scrapbooking can be recolored, resized, combined, cut, and anything else you can possibly think of. And best of all used over again and again! You can truly make these your own. Ever seen a scrapbooking paper and said gosh i wish this came in mauve. well with digital scrapbooking it can! Make your digital products suit your needs. Unlike traditional scrapping with digital scrapbooking if you should make a mistake simply press undo and start over again. Didn’t cut that line as straight as you’d like, glued that element in the wrong spot? With digital none of these things apply. As you have as many chances as you need to get it just the way you want it.
* The affordability of Digital Scrapbooking. The average digital scrapbook kit can be had for around $5-$7. Thats a far cry cheaper than the 35 bux I paid. And now lets consider this…..Once I added my photos to that album it was a done deal. Not the case with Digital.
* The longevity of Digital Scrapbooking. Once you’ve completed your layout or album with a digital scrapkit you simply save the kit on cd and be ready to use it again for your neices birthday. Thats the beauty. For a $7 investment the kit can be used over and over again. No longer will you elements left over without matching papers. And not only that but once you’ve completed an album or layout you can print it out as many times as you’d like to share with friends and family. Print layouts to give as gifts, make cards, craft items, the skys’ the limit.
* The Beauty of Digital Scrapbooking. Take a moment to browse some of the Digital Scrapbook items. You will be amazed. Sometimes you can’t tell the difference between Digital and the real thing. Don’t feel you will be giving up anything by giving Digital Scrapbooking a try because digital scrapbook kits and elements are just as beautiful as some that you’d find in traditional scrapbooking shops.
Ok, your sold! Or at least curious. So now you ask where can treasures be found? How do i get started with Digital Scrapbooking? First things first. You are going to need some supplies. The first of which you probably already have, a computer. Next some type of photo editing software. Adobe is probably the leader here with Adobe Photoshop and/or Photoshop Elements. There’s also Corel’s Paint Shop Pro and quite a few others. Once you’ve selected the software that works for you you will need some Digital Scrapbooking Supplies. Digiscrap Boutique offers such scrapbooking supplies.
