Computer Scrapbook Pages – Technology Meets Tradition

Category: Digital Scrapbooking – tkwriter – 3:36 pm

Digital scrap booking is catching on fast. You can create personalized scrapbook pages with your computer. 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 computer scrapbook page. Using the text tool of your editing program, it is possible to add the date and location of the picture.

If you have birthday pictures you can add a birthday cake with candles and the age of the person having the birthday on the digital scrapbooking pages that you need for your scrapbook. You can accent your pictures with Christmas trees and date them accordingly. You may continue the theme with every holiday occasion since there are so many themes offered online now. Some caps and gowns in the backgrounds of your pictures is a great way to remember your child’s graduating year. You can make your computer scrapbook pages unique through an almost limitless number of special techniques.

The benefit to using the computer for your scrapbooking is that you can produce more than one copy of your page. This is a wonderful way to make albums for friends and family on your Christmas gift list. There is a variety of textures, paper designs and inks that you can use too. You can even print pages 12 inches by 12 inches if the printer you own can print in wide format. However an 8″ x8″ can be handled well by most regular printers. It is very rewarding to take your digital scrapbooking layouts and see them printed out in an album or a coffee table type book.

On doing digital scrapbooking pages there are several other benefits. If you goof up as you lay out a page you just need a simple click to redo it, as often as it takes till it’s done correctly. Digital scrapbooking is also less of a mess. Instead of laboring with scissors and paste, or carefully hand writing the pages, you can simply print out the pages and add personal decoration whenever you choose. All of your pictures can be handily kept on your computer or on a CD-R or DVD-R.
