Why Digital Scrapbooking?

October 25, 2009 | By admin In Digital Scrapbooking |

There are a lot of people who wonder why someone would choose digital scrapbooking over traditional paper scrapping. I think there are several reasons, two of them are it is inexpensive and it is so easy!

COST

When you paper scrap, each layout can cost anywhere from $3 on up depending on what you put into it. I know you can do minimal embellishments and bring the cost of the layout down, but do you really want to cut things out? The cost of paper scrapping is going up and up, with just a single 12×12 sheet of colored cardstock costing close to $1!

With digital scrapbooking you can get a high quality full size kit for around $3 to $5! For less than the cost of one paper layout, you can create multiple, stunning layouts with one digital kit! Since you can reuse digital kits over and over, you can make a fun brag book or mini gift album that has the same theme throughout. What a great inexpensive gift!

Your major expense with digital scrapbooking is your software. There are many different programs to choose from. I will talk more on programs later.

EASY TO DO

Digital scrapbooking is very easy to learn and fun to do! You can resize pictures right on you layouts to fit where you need them – no more getting out the ruler and cropping! It is great to be able to see your layout on the screen and move things around as you wish.

It is much faster to scrap digitally. Setting up your supplies is just a matter of turning on your computer! When you need to take a break, you can save your layout and come back later. Everything will be ready to go again when you return.

It is great not to have to worry about kids getting into your supplies or running out of something. I am sure we have all been scrapping late at night and needed a certain color paper or the perfect accent, right? With digital scrapping all your supplies are right on your computer and if you need something you can always find it on the internet where digital scrapbook stores are open 24/7!

In my opinion, digital scrapbooking is the way of the future. Join in the fun – you will be glad you did!
