Operation Scrapbook

Digital scrapbooking is catching on fast. You can use your computer and make unique digital scrapbook pages. You can remove red eye, crop pictures, touch up colors, brighten, sharpen, and perform other functions with photo editing programs and make your photos beautiful and more fun!
The subject of a photo should suggest the kinds of sayings and decor that would work well on a digital scrapbook page. Using the text tool in your editing program, you can add location and date information to the image.

When working on birthday pages on your digital scrapbook you can add a cake, candles and even the persons age if you like. Christmas trees that include the year that the Christmas pictures were taken make nice accents. Many holiday themes are available online allowing accents for other holidays. A great background idea for graduation pictures is to add in caps and gowns along with the graduation year. Adding special effects to your computer scrapbook pages can be done in countless ways!

One great option with digital scrapbooking is the ability to print more than one copy of your page. This is great for making albums for everyone in your family or on your Christmas list. Many different varieties of textures and paper designs as well as ink can be used. You can even print pages in 12′ x 12′ size if you own a printer that can print in wide format. Most regular printers though do 8” x 8” well. Printouts of your digital scrapbook pages, compiled in an album or coffee-table book, provide instant gratification.

On doing digital scrapbook pages there are several other benefits. If you make a mistake laying out one of these pages all you do is click undo and do it over again, you can keep doing this as many times as it takes to get it right. It is less messy doing digital scrapbooking too. Instead of dealing with cutting and pasting paper, or using your own handwriting on your pages, you can simply print your pages, and add personal touches as you like. All of your pictures can be handily kept on your computer or on a CD-R or DVD-R.
