5 Reasons to Try Digital Scrapbooking   by Jenna Hart

Do you love taking photos with your digital camera? Do you ever wonder what to do with all of those photos collecting dust on your hard drive? One thing you can do to show off your favorite photos and memories is to try Digital Scrapbooking. Digital scrapbooking is much like regular scrapbooking, except you will first design the pages on your computer before printing them.

Here are 5 reasons to give digital scrapbooking a try:

Costs Less: Scrapbooking Supplies are expensive. When you switch to digital, your only expenses are what you pay to print them and if you decide to use any special software such as Adobe Photoshop. Best of all, you can use your digital supplies over and over again.

No Mess: You won’t need to worry about having paper, glue and glitter all over your kitchen table – everything is done on your computer, meaning there is no mess to clean up when you are done!

Easy to Share: A physical book can be difficult to share with family and friends, especially if you are not able to see them often. When you go digital, you can easily share your pages on popular social networking sites as well as send them by email or upload to galleries online to show off your work.

No Talent Necessary: Even if you are not creative or have an eye for design you can still make amazing looking pages. This is because online there are thousands of free templates ready for you to use where all you need to do is add your photos.

Save on Time: With everything on your computer, you won’t need to worry about how long it takes to cut pieces of paper or glue things together – it’s just a matter of dragging and dropping your elements to where you want them to be.

Digital scrapbooking is a lot of fun, and once you try it you just might be surprised at how easy it is and enjoyable to do. Just be warned: it can be addictive!
