Do you go to a certain site to do the digital?

I haven't had a chance to try the digital....so the traditional way is the way I go. I just did 50 pages while I was on vacation at my daughters.....I did it with my granddaughter an it was soooooo much fun! I'll have to make an effort to try the digital.

I love to combine the two worlds. However I do not like to digital alone because it does not have that 3D look and texture you can creat with your own hands. I love to priont out flowers, tags, titles, journaling etc. Then I include it in the layout adding embellishments and other dimensional paraphenilia like dried flowers or crimped paper. I love paper and I love doing things with my hands, it is so much more satisfying then digital to me. Besides scrapbooking is all about using SCRAPS. It is a great way to recycle what you have and get like boxes, cards, bags, ribbons, papers and so much more. Digital is fun when editing photos and adding flowers, caracters and tags to match the layout.

I make my own digital scrapbook. Using Photoshop, it's just easy to make a fake clips or papers, if you know how to use photoshop then you don't have to use any scrapbooking materials just to make one. I'm a web/graphic designer so I prefer making my own than downloading these materials online.

i am a scrapbooking nut as well. in fact i have lost track of how much i have spent on it. sometimes i wonder whether it is worth it since ultimately it's all paper and pretty embellishments.

but i really prefer traditional physical scrapbooking since i like the feel and texture of that medium. digital is great but i feel it lacks that extra oomph.

the problem with traditional scrapbooking is that one runs out of space pretty fast,and albums are not cheap to buy too!

I like the 3D look and to me it just feels more like a craft doing it traditionally than digitally. I do buy some of my cliparts and stuff online and sometimes adjust colors on prints of tbackgrounds and such for my use. Traditionally for me!

I want to get into digital more. I have all the traditional supplies and have some traditional scrapbooks, but now with two boys I don't have time and that's something I don't want them helping me with. I want to do more digitallly because there is less mess to clean up. But with limited computer time I haven't learned near as much as I wanted to by now. I'm sure I'll get to it, but it might be later rather than sooner.

I like both. I have to say though that I've done more digital scrapbooking then regular though. I have pages set aside to make, but I'm waiting to get with my best friend who is so good at it to help me. I've made a few things digital though just playing around. I want to print them out and possibly put them in a book or something.

I prefer traditional, I love all the embellishments and papers that are available. And I love checking out scrapbook stores in other places that I go to on vacations and trips. I can spend hours cropping, stenciling, and coming up with new layouts. My daughter also scrapbooks and when she comes for a visit she brings all of her stuff and we take over the dining room table. We put on some music, have snacks and crop all day, for days. We will be going to our second Scrapbook Weekend Retreat this October.

I have to say that I'm pretty much a traditional girl. I use the computer for journalling and titles, but that's mostly it. My business is dealing with communicating online through video, so I need a break from it when I scrapbook. Plus, I like to feel everything.

I have done both, but I prefer regular scrapbooking over digital, because I can be more creative and make it my "own" and digital scrap booking just doesn't do that for me. Combining them is a really good idea, maybe I might like digital a little more if I used both techniques.
