National Scrapbooking Day and Digital Scrapbooking
What is National Scrapbooking Day?
National Scrapbooking Day is celebrated on the first Saturday in May. It is a day to celebrate the art of scrapbooking, which is a hobby that involves creating a visual record of memories. Scrapbooks can be filled with photos, journal entries, ticket stubs, and other mementos from special events.
History of Digital Scrapbooking
Digital scrapbooking is a relatively new hobby, but it has quickly become popular. The first digital scrapbooking software was released in the early 1990s, and it quickly became a popular way to create scrapbooks. I started digital scrapbooking about 2005, first using Photoshop Elements, and now Adobe Photoshop, and never went back to paper scrapping.
There are many reasons why digital scrapbooking has become so popular. First, it is much easier and more convenient than traditional scrapbooking. With digital scrapbooking, you can create scrapbooks quickly and easily on your computer. You can also easily edit and update your scrapbooks as needed. As a digital scrapper, if you attend a scrapbook crop, you just walk in with your laptop. A traditional paper scrapper make multiple trips to carry in all their supplies. They look at you funny.
Second, digital scrapbooking gives you more creative freedom than traditional scrapbooking. With digital scrapbooking, you can use any photo you want, and you can add text, journaling, and embellishments in any way you like. You can also use a variety of fonts, graphics, and templates to create your scrapbooks.
Third, digital scrapbooking makes it easy to share your scrapbooks with others. You can easily upload your scrapbooks to the internet, or you can burn them to a CD or DVD. You can also print your scrapbooks out on high-quality paper.
