......I am (but hoping to convert) a traditional scrapbooker..lol...or scrapper...but, quite honestly, it is SSSOOOO time consuming and MESSY that I've just plain HAD it!!! I have been hearing about all of this "digi scrapping" and told myself that I really should "convert"..lol.
So, naturally i get online and start looking around..OMG!! DIGI SCRAPPING is everywhere!!
Where do I start? Do I have to have a fancy photoshop program? Are all of the "free" kits I'm seeing onlline really free? How do I digi scrap??????...lol
If there are any of you out there that could lead me in the right direction, and tell me where to get started, I would REALLY appriciate it! Thanks, Farmgirl hugs and Smiles, Kelley

Kelley I think you can do the free download. I have it and it works great. Now mind you I am a beginner just like you, LOVE to learn more too.

oh, Cheryl, that sounds really easy..I'll have to check it out...
I have been wondering...can I just download Photoshop, or do I need to purchase it? I see stuff on the internet stating both options...

I've used ArcSoft Print Creations and made my mom a scrapbook mother's day card. She loved it! I'm able to upload images from my camera onto my computer and import them into ArcSoft. They have a nice selection of free digi pages you can use or buy sets if you want. I know I didn't buy this so thinking it maybe came with our printer we purchased several months ago. Here is their online site addy if you're interested. They do have a trial of it available so you can try before you buy. http://www.arcsoft.com/estore/download_trials.asp I just print whatever I create off from my printer and assemble. Fun, easy and not the least bit messy. Enjoy!

I've never learned much about digital scrapbooking, but I'm always game to learn new things :) I wonder of any of those programs will work on a Mac?

Hey Sue,
I use Digital Image Pro too!! It's an older program but I love it. I have Photoshop 7 and really only do certain things in it..I love the digital world of artful scrapping.
Anyhow, I just had to post since I'm a total digital junkie!

Kelley, there's nothing wrong with trying new things and "going digi"...like I said, it makes it easier for me to get to the scrapbooking amidst all the other stuff I AM doing the "old-fashioned way" (try scrapping with hot, full canning jars on the only table in the place). I would rather do some digital scrapbooking and journal what's going on than have my kids go through boxes of unlabeld and unjournaled memories when I'm dead and gone.
I am going to email you with some details.

Kelly - your program sounds great, where did you get it? My mother just bought a really GREAT kodak printer that I'm already in love with!! It prints like a professional! I think I'm gonna Google Creative memories..lol

Hi Kelley,
I invested in the Creative Memories digi scrapbooking program. I like it because it helps me organize my pics, and then I have them right on the computer to put onto my pages...I don't have to get pics printed, then cropped, then pasted onto my pages. Instead, I digi crop, arrange, etc, then take it to Costco and get the whole page printed. I have friends that use the online printing services, but since I have dial-up, it takes too long for me to upload, so Costco is easier. I am doing more scrapping again since I don't have to take up the entire dining room to get it done!
