Digital Scrapbooking, the virtual craft project!

With digital scrapbooking: No scissors, no glue, no felt tip pen!

This is one photo project where you really don’t need any glue, scissors or even a pen. And once your photos are scanned, it can be a very neat project. Of course, if you are like me, and have photos stashed every where, waiting to be scanned, and your mother is bringing you her photos to scan, and you can’t remember if she is bringing you the same pictures you already had and scanned a month ago….well then it can get a little messy!
But once you create your digital scrapbook page (which we will explain how to do later), and print it out, allow the photo paper to dry completely before inserting into a sheet protector. You will eventually place two pages into each protector (back to back). The protector then goes into your three ring binder.

Computer stuff you will also need

Computer & Software
Obviously, you need a computer, And if you are reading this, I assume you have access to one! Yet, you will also need the correct software installed on your computer. If you don’t already have Word 2007, yet plan to purchase it, make sure your computer has sufficient memory and the necessary operating system. If it can’t handle Word 2007, and you still want to digital scrapbook, consider purchasing one of the scrapbook programs that will work on your current system.

Ink JetPrinter
LaserJet printers are much more expensive than the ink jet. They may print faster, and at a less cost per print. But even if you can afford to upgrade, stick with the Ink Jet for your photographs. For once, the less expensive piece of equipment is the best choice for printing photographs.
