With digital scrapbooking: No scissors, no glue, no felt tip pen!
This is one photo craft
project where you really don’t need any glue, scissors or even a pen. And
once your photos are scanned, it can be a very neat project. Of course, if
you are like me, and have photos stashed every where, waiting to be scanned, and
your mother is bringing you her photos to scan, and you can’t remember if she is
bringing you the same pictures you already had and scanned a month ago….well
then it can get a little messy!
But once you create your
digital scrapbook page (which we will explain how to do later), and print it
out, allow the photo paper to dry completely before inserting into a sheet
protector. You will eventually place two pages into each protector (back
to back). The protector then goes into your three ring binder.
Necessary Hardware for Digital Scrapbooking
Obviously, you need a computer, And if you are reading this, I
assume you have access to one. Yet, you will also need the correct software
installed on your computer. If you don’t already have Word 2007, yet plan to
purchase it, make sure your computer has sufficient memory and the necessary
operating system. If it can’t handle Word 2007, and you still want to
digital scrapbook, consider purchasing one of the scrapbook programs that will
work on your current system.
LaserJet printers are much more expensive than the ink jet. They may
print faster, and at a less cost per print. But even if you can afford to
upgrade, stick with the Ink Jet for your photographs. For once, the less
expensive piece of equipment is the best choice for printing photographs.
