5 Top Tips to Start Digital Scrapbooking the Easy Way, Today

There are many people out there who really want to give digital scrapbooking a go but just don't know where to start.

The Internet is full of scrapbooking resources, but there are so many sites that the newbie digital scrapbooker is often overwhelmed and sometimes intimidated by the vast amount of information available to them.

It is one thing finding the answers to your questions but it is putting those answers into action which becomes the difficult part.

My Top Tips

1. Find the right software package for you - there are many out there from dedicated digital scrapbooking programs to fully featured image editing software. Think which one is going to be beneficial to you now but also in the coming months.

2. Sort through your photos and think of the story you would like to tell. Every successful scrapbook page should tell a story and your photographs are the foundation.

3. Think about theme, colour and style. These all interrelate and your digital scrapbook page should bring these three elements together.

4. Decide on how you want to display your finished scrapbook page at the start. Particularly for a digital scrapbook page this is important; you need to work at a suitable file size from the start if you intend to print, email or share your finished designs on the Internet.

5. Gather you materials and have fun. There are no rules cast in stone for designing a successful scrapbook page apart from you must enjoy what you are doing. The more you do the more that will show through in your digital scrapbooking projects.
