Scrapbooking now has a new and interesting twist to it. This process is called Computer or digital scrapbooking. You can do this by using photo or image editing software.
Scrapbookers can now use their computers to upload their digital photos and graphics to create fun and exciting digital scrapbook pages.
They can use their image editing software to arrange their pages just about any way they want without have to glue and remove. Computers bring all kinds of new possibilities to scrapbooking letting you create everything from simple journaling to entire scrapbook pages! And, it’s all fun and easy to do!
There are many different photo or image editing software programs. Adobe, Paint Shop Pro, Photolightening and PhotoElf are just a few that are available.
Shopping around for one of the programs is mostly a matter of personal preference. You will still have to keep in mind what type of computer you have and whether the program you choose will be compatible with you system.
With computer scrapbooking, you can create beautiful pages that come to life with music, photographs, graphics, video and more. You can choose to keep your digital scrapbook on your computer, or you can use the pages you have created as a design template for the actual paper pages you will be putting in your scrapbook.
There are a wide variety of online resources to help you out whether you’re a beginner or a skilled scrapbooker. These sites offer everything from designs, images, digital embellishments, tutorials and even digital “communities”. So if you are just looking for a little help with a page, ideas for a whole new scrapbook, or a group of online scrappers to chat with, you can find it all on the web.
Some of the greatest benefits to computer scrapbooking are saving time, money and space. Instead of having to create several different pages for each individual, you can make a template that can be used over and over again. The same applies to your supplies. Instead of buying consumables over and over, you buy your materials once and can use them forever and they don’t take up space like piles of paper and tools.
