Creative Crafting

Most experience scrapbookers know what Digital Scrapbooking is, but there are still pockets of us who did not know.  We knew what digital meant, and we knew about scrapbooking, but combining the two just never occured to some of us.

As you know digital scrapbooking is using your computer and a software program to save your memories for yourself and generations to come.  You download your photos either from your digital camera or from a scanner.  I downloaded a free version of Fusion Foto to see if it were something I would like to do, and if I could come up with anything that resembled a scrapbook page.  I have to say I have never done scrapbooking of any sort, I have watched it done and have been fascinated.  I never thought I could do as I am challenged artistically in most things.  I am happy to say, I didn’t do bad.  I wish I could show you, but the free version of Fusion Foto, saves with watermarks all over the pictures.  But I am still having fun learning, and will purchase the complete program soon.  Then you will be able to see my masterpieces!

Instead of using store bought papers and embellishments you can go online and download tons of ideas, papers, embellishments, kits.  The supply seems endless.  You use your phote editing software much the same way that you would with paper.  I find it less messy, less expensive, and more fun.  But then I like playing around the with computer programs or I would not be doing what I am doing.

After the intial purchase of software, most of your supplies will either be free or at a very low cost.
