Scrapbooking Made Simple

Well if you're travelling on this digiscrap journey with me you'll be as excited as I was to find this site: http://www.scrapwow.com/ . I was really impressed with the size of the free kit. It has lots of useful papers and embellishments. So on Friday Night I did some scrapbooking at my girlfirend's house. It was GREAT! I got lots done. My favourite is this one. (The title is: Other things may CHANGE us but we start and end with FAMILY.) The only problem I have now is that at my heart I'm a "hands on" scrapper so when I used this background paper I fell in love with it and now want a piece of it for real! I have gone back to using the Scrapbook Max program as I felt it allowed me alot more creative freedom with my backgrounds. But don't take my word on that, try them both for yourself and see what you think.

These are a few of my layouts I've achieved this evening using the Scrapbook Max program. I think I've had a pretty good play with this program and have been really impressed with how easy it's been to use. I don't want to have to read a manual to master a program. I just want to be able to load it up and start going and I have to say that this program has been that simple. Of course if you want it you can access the help menu but it's not been necessary at all! I do realise that the 'quality' of my digi layouts isn't anything earth shattering and at this stage they're pretty basic but then my first traditional scrapbooking layouts were alot worse so I'm holding out hope that I'll improve. Step 1 though is to choose program to use. So now that I've explored the Scrapbook Max program I'm going to have a look around and see what else is out there. Naturally I don't want to spend much on a digi scrap program so I'm looking for ...

I'm still playing with this new program and only using the trial version till I'm sure if its the right one for me. I am finding though that it is VERY quick to complete a page. Also if you take into account what you usually pay to develop your photos into the cost of your layout I guess it's not that bad. Here's another layout I just completed in around 20 minutes and with only the VERY basic tools and supplies you get with the trial version. Not too bad huh?
