Digital scrapbooking is packed with perks. Today I wanted to share with you eight reasons why I love digital scrapbooking, and I'm sure you will too!
1. No Extra Tools Required
If you have a computer you are ready to go! With a laptop, you can scrapbook wherever! Unlike paper scrapbooking, you don't need a heap of supplies, paper trimmers and pens.
You can start with a free trial of Photoshop Elements and my free video tutorial.
2. Undo is Your Friend
With paper scrapbooking, you are just one spelling mistake or glue mishap away from having to create a whole new page! With digital if things go wrong you can easily click the undo button and voila! crisis averted. You can always change your mind - just click Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y to undo and redo your changes.
Plus, things are never really glued down, so you can tweak your design and try a new background paper at any time! It's simple to customise the same page different ways, if, per chance, you have 4 children!
3. Get Access to Your Favourite Designs Forever
No more saving paper for the perfect layout. With digital designs you can use and resuse them as many times as you like. Once you have downloaded your supplies they will live on your computer to use and reuse.
4. Share with Friends and Family Around the World Instantly
Digital scrapbook pages can be shared on social media, by email with friends and family, or printed for physical albums.
Using a digital frame like a Skylight or you can instantly share them to your less tech savvy family members.
5. Multiple Copies
Speaking of sharing, you can order multiple copies of the same book (or just swap out a few pages). I love to give copies of our albums to the grandparents. Reprint your pages for gifts, wall art and when an over-enthustiastic toddler (or puppy!) loves those albums a little too hard.
6. Space Saving
A digital scrapbook takes up no physical space until you print it. And when it is printed, a photobook is a lot smaller than the equivalent photo album or paper scrapbook. Just compare the thickness of 8x8 photo books to a 6x8 album!
7. Easy Backups
Scrapbook pages are very precious, but if there was a fire or flood, there would not be time to bring shelves of precious memories with you. With digital scrapbooking, you can simply backup your computer and all your digital pages will be safe and sound.
8. No Mess
I really left the best till last! The best thing about digital scrapbooking is when it's time to pack up you just press Ctrl+S and close your computer.
That's how easy it is to clean up after a digital scrapbook session! Say goodbye to the mess of glue, paper scraps, and glitter—digital scrapbooking is clean and tidy.
I just adore the convenience, flexibility, and creative potential of digital scrapbooking. It’s a wonderful way to preserve your memories in a format that’s accessible and enduring. So if these reasons have piqued your interest, you can Get Started Digital Scrapbooking today with my class.
