And I love creating scrapbooks from those pictures. When I started scrapbooking, I literally used scraps of paper. Then as scrapbooking started to go commercial, I started buying paper and all sorts of other stuff.
When I was pregnant with Monch, I started a scrapbook for him. I make time to update the scrapbook but it has proved to be quite challenging. I have all the materials I need but I still haven't started on his Christmas page. So, I guess, we can say, I'm three months behind? Not that I'm making excuses but Monch is demanding so the only time I can work on my pages is when Monch is asleep. Well, scrapbooking, requires some sort of organized chaos (in other words, you will make a mess). So, when I drop everything because Monch wakes up unexpectedly, my dog, Kobe, turns that organized chaos into plain, old fashioned chaos.
I heard of digital scrapbooking some time ago and thought to check it out... someday.
I guess yesterday was 'someday'. I realized that with my efforts to save mother earth for my son (and my grandkids and hopefully my great grandkids), it would only make sense to go digital on my scrapbook, too.
I downloaded my scrapbooking software from http://www.scrapbookflair.com and tried it out. There was a tutorial at the start and it's relatively easy. The program had all sorts of tools for creating and editing your scrapbook as well as the pictures you'll be using. It also came with templates, backgrounds and embellishments. I was able to create two pages.
Today, I decided to take it a step further, I searched for digital scrapbook accessories and I found http://www.freedigitalscrapbooking.com where I downloaded 'paper', alphabets, and embellishments for free (with a simple request from the creator, Maria Stones, to give her credit when posting pages). I came up with a nice page and uploaded it, too.
At this rate, I think I'm ready to give up the traditional scrapbook and go completely digital.
