Digital Scrapbooking is gaining in popularity as people become more comfortable with photo and graphic software programs. The introduction of digital scrapbooking sites has added to the convenience of creating scrapbooks that require much less time and money to create.

Many individuals who enjoy scrapbooking find the cost of materials to be prohibitive. Each background, design, or special cut, requires the purchase of additional supplies. When a person is on a budget they can quickly become disillusioned with the expense and give up scrapbooking. However with the new websites that are being introduced one will find that everything that is needed to make creative scrapbooks is available in one easy to use location.

With digitalized photos one can crop, cut, manipulate, and change a photo to fit the scrapbook that is being created. A person may want to add a tone to each photo in an album to create a special effect. Or, one might want to add an image in a photo to enhance the photo. A person can change the photo to look textured or hand drawn. All of these effects can be accomplished without ruining or damaging the original photo.

Special fonts are available that make writing look natural and a person can use these fonts to convey a message, title, or comment on their scrapbook pages. Many of the fonts are available through the digitalized scrapbooking website. Some individuals find that there are also fonts available on the Internet that they prefer to use. These can easily be included on the scrapbook that is being made.

A person will find that many of the websites offer themes that can be used to create albums specifically for collections of photos for special occasions or events. If a person is creating an album as a gift for friends or family, they will find that the time it takes to create the scrapbook digitally is considerably less than if it were done manually.

The many digital materials that are available through the websites also provides a person with the same effect as making the scrapbook by hand. A person can create a frame using a zigzag cut or create oval frames easily for their photos.

Using the photo-shop accessories, one can add many features that would not be available in other types of scrapbooking. A person can create an album that is dedicated to an individual and make each page a unique reflection of an occasion that the person will want to remember.

It is very easy to make several scrapbooks and provide the perfect gift to friends and relatives at a very affordable price. A person can create a series of unique scrapbooks that provide the recipient with special memories and share thoughts that are unique to them. A person can print the digitalized scrapbooks and create a book using ribbon or twine which creates the added personalization that will make the fit unique.

By starting children with digital scrapbooking, parents can introduce them to the different shapes and ways that themes, colors, and backgrounds can be used to create pages using their special photos. These scrapbooks are often a way for children to learn the different ways to crop and personalize photos without ruining the originals.
