Memory Keeping through Digital Scrapbooking
One of the things I love about memory keeping is that there are so many ways to document the pictures and stories of our lives. While I love traditional scrapbooking, I have also found that digital scrapbooking has a lot of advantages.
- With digital, once you buy a kit or element you can use it as many times as you would like and it will never run out.
- You can make a quick project without pulling out all of your physical supplies.
- You can make a “messy” layout without actually making a mess.
- Use as many layers as you want without adding bulk to your pages or albums.
- Print your pages individually or make a photobook.
- Start with templates and just add photos or make a page completely from scratch.
I have dabbled in digital scrapbooking for years and enjoy the process as it is very different from starting with paper supplies. Here are a couple of examples of pages I have made for my scrapbooks:
I have just recently realized all of the other projects digital supplies allow you to do as well. Now I use my software program & supplies constantly for graphics for this website and my social media pages. If you are like me & have trouble with Photoshop, there are several user friendly options for digital software specific to scrapbooking. The one I use is FOREVER Artisan.
In addition to the software, you will need supplies to work with. Just like with traditional scrapbooking, there are unlimited options for papers & embellishments; ribbons, flowers & buttons. The list is endless. One of the best places I have found to get these supplies is a website called Pixel Scrapper. They have several designers and SO many digital scrapbooking kits to choose from. The best part is you can sign up for a monthly subscription and get unlimited downloads per month or you can get a free account and still be able to download up to 5 single elements per day.
Pixel Scrapper also has a wonderful community board with chats, challenges and freebies. There is a gallery filled with inspiration as well as a section full of tutorials on how to use the supplies or even make your own.
If you have any questions, please let me know in the comments or send me an email on the Contact Us page. I would love to know what you think if you go check them out & if you are a digital scrapper post a project in the comments below.
Thank you for stopping by!
