digital, traditional or both?

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!

yeh i agree i use both too!

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 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 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.

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 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 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.
