I’m trying to remember when I started digital scrapbooking. All comes to mind are the pre-nuptial photos and our wedding album. I prepared a simple powerpoint presentation of our courtship and engagement period to be played during our wedding reception last 2005. All I did was copy, paste, and crop photos that suit my mood and taste at that time. I know I could have made it a little bit more interesting and eye catching but due to limited time, I was not able to browse and consult the net. After the wedding, of course, tons of memories have been captured. It wasn’t done digitally (we can’t afford such services those times). I talked and arranged matters out with our wedding photographer and it turned out that what I really wanted is a digitally enhanced wedding album and not the stereo-type one. Since everything has been done the traditional way, still we ought to find ways to give it a digital touch. It cannot be lined to those digitally crafted ones today but during those times, it was already an achievement and was quite satisfied of it.
But as time progressed, I was hooked on the net. I searched for hobbies and interests that caught my attention… Scrapbooking came to my number one list. Yah, scrapbooking… I saw the designs and layouts and every intricate detail I can to incorporate onto our wedding scrapbook. What else could I make of? A wedding, ours and anybody else’s (if I may assume), is of great importance and impact to anyone’s memory to cherish. And so I gathered all my favorite wedding photos and scrapbook materials to craft them out. Maybe I have had more or less ten pages of it and I stopped. I discovered there’s more to scrapbooking…
DIGITAL SCRAPBOOKING. It offers versatility and affordability among others. Actually, no cost is involved in digiscrapping. You just got to have patience doing your own kits or at least browse for free stuff over the net. The ideas and possibilities are endless. Once you’ve started, you’ll get hooked and yearn for more to make your layouts even better. You can do as many designs as you wish without the mess. Personalize each and every page anytime and anywhere, as long as you have your PC or laptop with you. Plus, your creativity soars high as much as it can.
Right now, I do it mostly to please my eyes and express myself. If only I have the leisure to spend, I’d spend it doing my designs, aside from reading, of course. Soon, I will post some of my pages and if time will permit, I’d like to have my own kits as well, which I would gladly share with you. Be sure to come back to view and/or get them!
So as for the photo aficionados there, try and familiarize yourself with those softwares that will help you through digital scrapbooking. As for me, Photoshop does the trick. I’m no pro in using it but basic knowledge gets me through it… There are lots of websites offering tutorials and freebies, you’ll never get lost. Just check out the links on my blog and explore the possibilities. Life’s milestones and treasured moments are worth keeping and digiscrappin’…
