Beginner's Digital Scrapbooking

If you are contemplating digital scrapbooking at a beginner's level, then this post via http://www.orblogs.com/ will be of interest to you.

Digital Quick Pages

I have been getting some emails for more information on a new product available on the Creating Keepsakes website called Digital Quick Pages. This product is designed for people who are looking to investigate digital scrapbooking at a very beginner level.




Here's the basics:

1. On this CD are two, 20 page albums. Each page of the album is all ready to go - you simply need to resize your photos, add them onto the pre-designed pages (see the white spaces below) and upload or print at home. The original size of each page file is 12 inches x 12 inches and can be reduced to smaller sizes (such as 8 inches x 8 inches).

2. The two albums look essentially the same - one theme is "My Life" and the other theme is "Your Life" (see image below for page configuration). Journaling can be added on your computer (as a new layer using the "T" tool in Photoshop) or with a pen after printing.

3. These albums are very much about celebrating yourself or celebrating someone you love. The themes of the pages include topics such as: • celebrate: life is good• enjoy/play• favorites• be alive• time goes by/live every moment• work• things I/you love to do• family• home• everyday.

4. This CD only contains the flattened files (no brushes, patterned papers, etc.). Just the basics for quick albums.

5. Here are what the album pages look like:





Simple, quick, fun.

Hope that answers some of the questions that have been floating around. Let me know if you have more.

I see digital scrapbooking as another way to tell our stories. Love that I can add bits and pieces to my pages or have complete things like this album ready to go. Just another option. I love options.
