Im new to the digital scrapbooking. Any tips/websites and software you love? Care to share please?

I use scrapbook Deluxe by Keepsake. It is easy to use.

I’m new to scrapbooking and want to create a nice baby scrapbook. I already have an A3 book to fill but I want help with layouts, materials etc. A baby centered book is not necessary but if anyone could recommend a beginners book, and maybe a book that has some easy to follow ideas for layouts I would be very grateful

Scrapbooking can be intimidating when you are just starting out, but it doesn’t have to be. There are a few books that would be a great help to beginning scrapbookers.

A few of my favorites are "The Big Picture" by Stacy Julian, "Creative Sketches" by Becky Higgins, and "scrapbook Page Maps" by Becky Fleck. They are not specific to baby scrapbooking and are wonderful for jumpstarting your scrapbook pages on any theme, because once you start you won’t want to stop!

I also have a site devoted to scrapbooking with many areas related to beginners. You are welcome to check it out.

Good luck to you, and congratulations on the new baby!

I love to scrapbook and like talking to others who love to scrapbook also. Scrapbookers are very creative people, full of great ideas. What are your favorite hints and tips for scrapbooking?

Color is my thing. I don’t like to put too much on a page – one can overdo it with all the awesome stuff out there. I am careful to match colors in the pictures to papers and things I use, but I try to match one of the less dominant colors. It makes things pop.

I love the rub on stuff that’s out there now, much better than the first rub on products.

i also collect stickers with sayings and quotes to use for areas that need a little something but I don’t want to journal. Sometimes just a few words say it all.

I guess everyone has their own scrapbooking philosophy. Some love to journal, some will decorate a whole page with just one picture. Some are techniqe junkies!

That’s the great thing about scrapbooking, it’s all your own style.

Color and Balance. It took me all those words to just say that.

Just for fun? Besides smilebox. You don’t really make your own scrapbook. I use to go to a scrapbooking site online to build scrapbooks, and it was for free. Anybody know of a site like this?
you don’t build your own scrapbooks on smilebox* I don’t want sites that will link me to sites where i can get scrapbook supplies, i want a site where i can make my own scrapbook online.
