Anyone scrapbook or digi scrapbook?

Are you planning to scrap your bfp or your pregnancy pics?

I am really looking forward to this. I want to scrap my belly pics and my birth story this time. I haven't done that with my others and am really looking forward to this.

I am actually just about to start with scrap booking. I've bought a few items, but haven't been able to get started yet. I am really excited about this and DEFINITELY plan to make scrapbooks about my pregnancy and then for the baby.

I have some paper scrapbooking materials, but never found the time to do it, so I started to do some digiscrapping. And....I'm still not finding the time to do it! When grad school is over (February can NOT come soon enough!!) I have every intention of jumping right back into it.

I have a bunch of belly pics from my ds, I should really scrap those before I do a new baby.

Where and how do you do digital scrap booking? It sounds fun, but I don't have a clue about it.

what Michelle asked, I've heard about it but don't exactly know what it is or how to do it??

I do scrap. I want to start digi scraping too, but I haven't yet. I only started scraping a few years ago so I didn't do this with either of my other children, but I can't wait to start a baby scrapbook.

I have so many scrapbook supplies it's not even funny. But I rarely scrap. I think all my stuff overwhelms me! I've been doing it for maybe 8 years now though. I sell scrapbook supplies. Even have a website where I post some of my pages.

I definitely want to get back into it after the baby is born though!! I have a lot done from my first daughter but not much for my 2nd.

I scrapbook. I love it, but I haven't had a chance to really do any lately. I have a ton of papers and such as well. I even started selling MemoryWorks products recently and plan to get a website here soon too.

I did scrapbook my BFP and belly pics with my last son and the next baby will be done also. Only this time it will be full body shots

I love it!

I have a gallery here on JM for my digi scraps. I started scrapping my vacation pics. I only have two pages done so far but you can see them here. http://www.justmommies.com/forums/f4...g-gallery.html

They are the last ones. My first pages aren't that great. I used to design my own digi papers and elements but now I am too lazy. I wasn't that great with it anyway.

If you want to learn to digital scrap you should check out our digital scrapbooking board or you can even go to our siggy school subforum on Siggies R Us. It is the same concept but you just save web graphics at a different resolution. You do need a program to do it but there are some free ones out there. If you are serious about learning though I would invest in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements (Elements is a scaled down version of Photoshop and great for digi scrapping).

oooh me me!! I digiscrap. I used to paper scrap but now I am all digital. Been digital since about 2006.

I typically recommend ACDSee Photo Editor for beginners over PSE/PS products. I do use CS2 on occasion, but I find that it is too much to deal with a lot of the time!

Photo Editor 2008 is similar to PSE, but like I said, it is much easier to work with, Plus it has a lot of cool features that you can play around with as you become more familiar with digi-scrapping.
And... there is a free trial over at acdsee's website

Oh and I am new here, and I see you have a digital scrapbook board! I am off to go check it out

Thanks!

I've never done scrapbooking or digi scrapbooking before. But I have started making my own siggies ever since I started here on JM.

I tried using Photoshop while following the instructions from the siggie board. It turned out okay, but I didn't really "get it", ya know?

Now, I use Power Point to make mine, which is a program I LOVE and am really familiar with... but I wanted something that would give me all the cool scrapbook looking backgrounds that everyone else seems to have.

So just the other day I downloaded a program called Smilebox. I'm only using the free version right now until I get the hang of it and see if I like it enough to actually pay for it.

I scrapbook. I have been doing it for about 7 years. I did lots of belly pics with my other two. I plan to do it again with the next baby. I bought photoshop in hopes of getting into the digiscrapbooking but I am like some of the others lost on how to start.

I started digi scrapbooking few weeks ago and I fell in love with it. It's so addicting, and I can't stop doing it

I downloaded a free trial of PS but I got my start with GIMP. After my free trial ends, it will be hard getting used to GIMP again. I do want to get PS Elements, but I'll wait until I make my move because I'll be changing computers. I can't wait to scrap pregnancy pics!
