Scrapbooking has been a popular hobby for many years, but digital scrapbooking through the use of scrapbooking software has only arisen in recent years. And yet it's a natural development, since there are so many benefits of using your computer and computer programs to help preserve your memories.
We all have great intentions to make fabulous looking scrapbooks, and even if we love the hobby we don't always follow through on those intentions for a number of reasons. 1) Many of us cannot find the free time we need. 2) All the money needed to purchase papers, embellishments, and numerous prints of pictures can be a real budget breaker. 3) Storing all of the traditional paper scrapbooking supplies just take up too much space. However, resolving these problems is a lot simpler than many people believe. The answer might be just around the corner...
A year or two ago, I struggled with these very same problems. I was quite frustrated when dealing with problems 1, 2, and 3 above, and wanted to better solution. My life was so hectic, that I didn't have time to do any scrapbooking, but even if I did, the expense of scrapbooking all the ideas I had, would have certainly sent us to the poor house.
So, I was sitting at my computer computer and doing some work on the Internet when it hit me. I thought to myself, "I have thousands of digital photos on my PC. If I could just do my scrapbooking on the computer, it would be so much easier." That was the inspiration I needed. I knew that with my PC and some scrapbooking software, I could have my cake and eat it too!
I set my sights on the Internet to find out what scrapbook software would be best for me. There were a lot of option, but it was obvious that some programs such as scrapbook max were better suited to scrapbooking than others. Some were very difficult to use and others didn't have the features I wanted. I was looking for something that was easy to use, but didn't restrict my creativity.
It's important that you download a free trial version so you can try out the scrapbooking software before you buy. You don't want to get stuck with a program that doesn't suit you. Also, check out the company's website to see if they offer free tutorials, an online layout gallery so you can upload your scrapbook pages when you're done, plus check out their scrapbooking forums - if the company doesn't offer them, you might want to wonder what they're hiding!
Here's the promise I make to you once you give up scrapbooking the old-fashioned way and begin using scrapbooking software and online sites: After you've spent a month doing it the new way, you'll find it impossible to go back to the old way. It will seem far too limiting and time-consuming. The right software truly improves the enjoyment of digital scrapbooking.
So which software is best for helping you with your scrapbook hobby? That's a choice you'll need to make. Just do a Google search on "digital scrapbooking software". Make sure you can download a free trial, they company has great tutorials online, lots of expansion packs and a free forum and gallery! - 33381
