Digital Scrapbooking

I started scrapbooking on the computer before the term digital scrapbooking was invented. I started out scrapbooking the traditional way, with all the paper, pens, scissors and cutters. Then I got a digital camera. Since my pictures were already on the computer, I thought it would be easier to just make pages on Print Shop on the computer, then print them out - no tedious cutting and pasting, no mess to clean up. A few years the trend caught on and companies started developing programs for digital scrapbooking. I tried several and never found one I really liked until now.

I met a mom at homeschool band last year who sells Creative Memories and she told me they have a program now - Story Book Creator. I was so excited. I tried the free version and made a book about my Dominican Republic missions trip. I was so impressed I bought the full version. With the full version you can create 12x12 pages and upload them and have them printed, them put them in your own album. So cool!!! I created pages for our vacation this summer, then got sidetracked. Last week I opened the program again and I am having so much fun. I'm about 2 years behind with my albums, so I am going back and catching up. Here's a few pages I've done this week.


Here are the ones I did with the Pumpkin Patch pictures.



I haven't had any pages printed yet, but I'll be placing my first order next week. Can't wait!

Happy scrapbooking!
