Call it love, call it an obsession . . .

I call it a new hobby! Digital Scrapbooking. I love it and have spent a lot of time on it recently.

Here's what I learned:

First you need a program. I bought Digital Scrapbook Artist from Costco.

This program comes with a few kits

with digital scrapbook images,

as well as information about Daisytrail.

(Daisytrail is a website for those who love digital scrapbooking.)

Next, you pick a kit (or kits) that follow the theme you want to scrapbook.

pick your background,

materials

embellishments

photos

text

[Digital Scrapbook Artist also has a photo editing tool and lots of effects you can add]

Design it how you want, and you're done. *No Mess to clean up!!!

This is a page I made using Digital Scrapbook Artist.

(The picture was taken by Callie of Callie's Gallery)

Lastly, print your pages.

Print them from home.

Find a store or website that prints scrapbook pages.

I recently ordered from Shutterfly.

Shutterfly can print your pages in a photobook, in lots of sizes.

I was fairly happy with the quality,

but I would recommend that you double check each preview

to make sure none of your text or images were cut off.

A word of advice . . .

When I went to upload my pages on Shutterfly,

I learned they needed to be in jpeg format.

In order to get them that way,

I had to export them from Digital Scrapbook Artist.

*make sure they get saved in a file you can find:)
