Digital Scrapbooking

Most of you know that for awhile there I was really into scrapbooking. Like REALLY-- to the point where I was trying to open a scrapbooking store. Long story short, I got burned out on scrapbooking because I didn't have a lot of time to do it like I wanted, and I was quickly running out of space for all of my scrapbooking stuff. Literally, I had closets full of stuff... organizers... tote bags... storage containers... you name it. Anyway, last spring I cleaned out a bunch of stuff (along with a few other near-and-dear scrapbook supply fiends), and we held two scrapbook supply garage sales. The success was HUGE! So, we're going to whittle things down even more to have another sale in the spring.

I enjoy the idea of preserving memories, and I definitely enjoy the creative aspect of the whole hobby. However, I've decided to move on with the times and get into digital scrapbooking. I kind of already do the whole concept anyway with Microsoft Publisher to create flyers and such for work. I was super lucky to find some Adobe software that I needed at a fabulous discount, so I bought it! The best is that the software cost less than what I would have spent at a scrapbook supply store to make someone a custom album. I'll mess around with it some more and will post a few sample pages when I complete them.
