I love to scrapbook, but always seem so far behind and never able to catch up. Having two kids, the youngest who like to grab and try to eat every little thing laying around the house, doesn’t make it any easier. While meeting my mother at a bookstore this weekend, I picked up a digital scrapbooking magazine. After jotting down some suggested websites, I sat down this evening determined to make my first digital scrapbook page.
I already have Photoshop CS on my computer, needing it for my graphic design classes, and found this very informative tutorial at The Shabby Shoppe website. After downloading the free Festival papers and embelishments from Shabby Princess, I got started. I am really pleased with the way this turned out and it was nice not to get my hands (or the top of my dining room table) dirty. I hope to actually print this out within the next few days and can’t wait to see what the quality is like. Who knows, maybe I’ll be staying up late over the next few weeks scrapbooking, rather than my typical blogging.

Let us know about the quality. I can certainly see the content is wonderful. That Maya is such a cutie!
Hey! That’s really cool! I have never been into scrapbooking because of all of the cutting, and gluing, and taping, and cutting…no fun for me. But I might actually do the digital thing. Thanks for sharing it! (Oh, and I love the new blog theme. The pic of Maya in your banner is adorable! And another oh, you’ve still got a link to Knits & Grits in your sidebar. I just noticed it while admiring the layout of your page.)
What a great page! I am intrigued by the whole scrapbooking process and have dabbled a bit, but haven’t tried digital yet. Cute pics!
[...] a better handle on this if I wasn’t so busy sitting at the computer fooling around with my new fun hobby. Either that or I need a cleaning lady, [...]
How fun! It looks great…and I’m sure it’s easier to do it this way with 2 small children running around
I am all about the digital scrapbooking!
I have software that I use and I love it!
I am not a big Photoshop expert so this is handy dandy. I might have to check out the tutorials.
Keep smilin!
I find myself going more and more digital, too! But i can’t seem to give up my addiction to paper scrapbook supplies!
I love the idea of scrapbooking, but never seem to be able to find the time, and I love the idea of digital scrapbooking, but always wondered if people just leave it on the computer or print it out. I guess you answered my question. I can’t wait to see what else you do. Maybe I will finally get around to catching up on my scrapbooking (I have done almost none since my daughter was born THREE years ago!!)
I stumbled upon your website via the craft blogosphere and and saw this venture into digital scrapbooking – there’s actually some really great websites especially for digital scrapbooking that are truly awesome, that let you do amazing things with your photos and have plenty of background/buttons to play with. try http://www.scrapblog.com (i think that’s the website, hope you don’t think this is a spam post)! :p
