Computer Scrapbook

21 years ago

Carol Duvall had a show on yesterday where she showed a Scrapbook on the computer where you could record messages and insert. I tried to get the link but it doesn't work. Does anyone do non-paper scrapbooking?

Hi, I've been looking at Scrapbooking software. I've discovered that any pictures I save on CD can be played in my DVD player AND they play as a slide show. It's so cool!

My aunt and uncle recently had their 50th wedding anniversary party and I took my digital camera and captured shots of everyone. My 70 something year old uncle is a computer nerd and he loves anything computer related. So I bought "Hallmark Scrapbook Studio" software and thought this winter, I'd take all those anniversary pictures and build him a scrapbook on CD. He and my aunt will just love it. My uncle is big-time into geneology and this will fit right in with that, I think.

I really wanted "Scrapbooking Workshop" or whatever it's called. It's about $40, but the stores here aren't carrying it at the moment. So I'll work with this Scrapbook Studio and see how I like it.

I've run across several sites that talk about scrapbooking on the pc. Just do a search and you'll find something.

Good luck!

Thanks ever so much. The site you sent is so good. I need to spend time in the tutorials as I am not very good at using the Jasc Paint shop yet. I really appreciate this.

Krikit, everything is done on the computer. Digital Scrapbooking is scrapbooking using a graphics based program. Most computer scrapbookers use Microsoft Picture It!, Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro. I use Microsoft Picture It!, it is a very easy program to learn. A lot of peole do print out their work and put them in albums, but I just put my work on cd's to be looked at on the computer. http://www.scrapbook-bytes.com/ is where I first learned about digital scrapping. I get a lot of ideas and download lots of freebie stuff there. Check it out.

My scrapbooking friends envy me. My mother passed away about a year ago and I got about $2000 that I wanted to spend in some way to remember her. So I had custom cabinets made (desk height with drawer base units and upper wall cabinets) and changed a third bedroom into a scrapbooking and sewing room. One wall section is about 7 feet and I have it set up for scrapbooking and the other wall is about 5 feet and it is for sewing. I had the cabinets custom made because I am short and the only readymade cabinets I could find would have had to be kitchen counter height or vanity height and those wouldn't have been the full 2 feet deep. I'm already running out of space though, and I think it might have been wiser to get a utility type cabinet to store paper and and larger items in. The only bad thing is I seem to be addicted to scrapbooking and buying more. I guess I better get busy scrapbooking all those pictures mom had! I enjoyed seeing/hearing what areas other people had. I will try to get a picture of my area. Ruth in Iowa

I'm not sure what you're asking here, but if you want to see some neat scrapbooking sites this is my short list of favorites. www.creatingkeepsakes.com www.jangle.com www.pccrafter.com The first two have been around for a while and everyone knows about them, but pccrafter.com is pretty new I think. They all have a lot of neat stuff to offer, but if you want computer scrapbooking or crafting stuff pccrafter is the best one. They even have some free clipart downloads that are fully useable. Here is a link that might be useful: pccrafter.com

NancyAnn that is cool to be able to play your cd with photos on your dvd player. Did you have to do anything special to the cd or save the pictures any special way??
I would love to be able to do that......

Jenni, I just save all my photos as jpg (or jpegs). This is a common format that is typically used for most photo sites. So I didn't do anything other than that.

The CD player is a $50 one from Walmart--an Apex. Look on the box and it will tell you it will play MP3's and Photo discs, etc. It is soooooo cool! Like a slideshow! It's great for family gatherings or birthday parties, etc. You could put together a "The Way You Were" disk to play for someone's anniversary or birthday and show old pics from their lives. The possibilities are endless!
