There is so much one can do with Digital Scrapbooking. With your treasured photos, quality art and the latest technology the possibilities are endless. Traditional Scrapbooking and crafting can easily be integrated with digital to make the projects your way. Here is an example of a couple of pages done using Photoshop Elements, and ready to use templates from Create! Digital Art.

The old original photos were captured using an Epson scanner. The final album was printed and proofed on a wide carriage inkjet printer. Once everything was perfect we printed a dozen scrapbooks at one of the major photo centers. and hand delivered the albums to the bridemaids 50 years after the wedding.

3. Learn & Download Digital Freebies

One program that I like to use is "Scrapbook Plus". It only costs a few dollars on Amazon.com.
I used their embellishments to create this entire layout below. BUT YOU CAN DO SO MUCH MORE.





I use this software to:

1. Design my paper layouts. I create it on this software then put it togethor with the actual elements. In order to do this I scan all the papers / elements that i'm going to use. I do this because it's hard for me to design an entire layout in my head.
2. I also use it to create digital layouts. Duh! But there's a catch. These kinds of software programs generally don't give you very good images. I go to www.digiscrapdepot.com and download all the thousands of FREEBIES they have available. Over 5,500 at the moment. The number grows by the hour. Keep each kit in their original folder than make a folder to hold them all. Then, use the scrapbook plus to put it all togethor.

I scanned these beautiful layouts by scanning the actual papers. Then I used Paint Shop Pro to create the half ovals. This way they look like flaps that open up. SB plus created the heart shaped photo and matting. I added some beads to the centers of the flowers on the paper. Add a ribbon and journaling.	This is the Wallflower Collection. I re-arranged some things in order to create this. My puppy dog. www.digitalscrapbookfreebies.com is where you can find this collection.	For this layout, I again scanned the papers into the computer. I darked the ovals so you can see the separation between the background. Add a couple of overlays and a latch w/ tag.

This is my Animal Kingdom layout. I guess this is what they call a Hybrid Layout. All the embellishments I used came from the Scrapbook Plus Software. I printed them out to add to the paper layout.



I made this digital layout by scanning the papers into my computer. The papers were designed by Ann Griffin Designs.
