Digital Scrapbook

Most of you know I love to scrapbook. However, I am quite a bit behind and find it difficult to scrapbook now. Even when I do have time, I have to try and find an area the kids don't get to as they love to pull everything out of my bins and "help" me scrapbook. So, I decided to try my hand at digital scrapbooking. I recently completed my 2007 album and got in in the mail a few days ago. It turned out great. It's super easy to do (and much faster than regular scrapbooking), but I do kinda miss flipping through pages with real pictures on them. I will probably make the shift to digital scrapbooking and only do the "old" kind for special occasions (such as the kids baby books). I used the Creative Memories software and I have to say I definitely learned a few things along the way...like I should have done an 11 x 8-1/2 book vs. 12 x 12. Most things are offered in this size and I think the printing quality of the pictures would have been a bit better at this size. But I was used to working with 12x12 pages in my old scrapbooks so I thought this would be okay. CM also offers a lot of freebies in the 11 x 8-1/2 size. Oh well. Since I've already purchased templates at the 12x12 size, I'll probably continue with this size, but for those of you thinking about making the switch, keep that it mind.
