creating keepsakes has a new special issue out, called the best of digital scrapbooking.
digital scrapbooking. i'll be honest. it scared me for a long time. seemed very overwhelming and totally out of my comfort zone. but i eventually gave in to the trend, and tried my hand at some digital layouts. and you know what? it's not that hard, and it was actually kind of fun 🙂
this new special issue is a collection of the best tutorials from digital scrapbooking magazine. there are sections on scrapbooking digitally, organizing your files, perking up your photography, digitally scrapbooking your keepsakes, digital layouts with dimension, artistic techniques for your pages, and other tips and commonly used terms.
want to see a few of the ideas you'll find inside the pages of this issue?

I so want to give digital a try but am unsure of to many things about it. Guess maybe I should take a class.

I have created seven layouts so far this year and they are all digi. I currently use a mixture of quick pages and templates but am keen to create my own templates soon. I am still a paper and glue scrapper too and don’t think that will change in a hurry, I just like that I can digi-scrap on my laptop anywhere. =)
(btw – if my name is drawn for the prize I will pay the postage downunder)

I’ve never actually tried digital scrapbooking, even though I’ve been collecting free kits for a while now. But maybe this week’s the week– I’m flying halfway across the country and am going to have a lot of down-time on my trip. I can’t carry-on my scrapbooking supplies, so I’m thinking of using this time to try my hand at the digital side 🙂 I’d like to learn how so that I can make my own custom photo books.

I like the ease of digi scrapping, but love the paper and embellishments…it is nice to have both to use! I have the other Jessica Sprague idea books, do you know if this is made up of those ideas, or totally new ones?

CK and other galleries probably think I’m solely a digi scrapper, because those are the only l/o’s I’ve figured out how to post! But I really do prefer the tactile joys of paper and glue.

I have never officially tried it. I have played around in the CTMH version called studio j but didn’t ever finish and print. I could see where I would really like it as I could just hang out with my laptop and create but I just have so much paper.
Who knows what the future will bring.

I love using the templates but when I do a digi page it usually just sits on my computer and I never get around to printing them out. Would love to read this magazine…maybe it would incourage me to print more of my layouts.

For a long time I resisted digital, there is something about the feel of paper and embellishments that really satisfies my creative side, but finally I gave digital a go and I am thrilled with the results! I don’t think I will ever convert totally – but I love doing the odd page! And as a mum of two – who doesn’t get to print photos that often, digital is great for doing things I want to record or get done immediately before I forget – because I don’t have to wait for photos to be printed. Thanks for your awesome blog!
