I always thought the idea of a scrapbook was dumb. That is until I was given one that recorded a bunch of photos and news clippings of an important time in my life. It meant so much to me and is great to look at from time to time. These days there is a huge industry surrounding the idea of scrapbooks and digital scapbooks.
Digital scrapbooking is an interesting concept. These days with the digital camera taking over, it is much more affordable to keep your scrapbooks in digital format. There are also some great artists who have turned their art work into digital scrapbook materials so all you have to do is copy their art work into your digital scapbook document.
You will need to use a photo editing program, preferrably one like Photoshop or Fireworks. This way you can combine as much text, images, and artwork as your heart desires in one file. A great thing about this is that you can choose to print any of your pages as well. There are some great online printing services that are reasonably priced.
So while you at it, why not create a Blog about the person or events that are the subject of your scrapbook, then combine the two into an interesting website that can be shared with anyone you wish. If you are not familiar with setting up a blog, contact a blog consultant who can help.
Although many people still like the process and the feel of creating scrapbooks with their own hands, some people preffer to get rid of the clutter and mess and go digital.
