A Beginner's Reference to Digital Scrapbooking

Digital Scrapbooking Kits

A digital scrapbooking kit is a collection of coordinating papers and elements that sometimes includes alphabets. Scrappers use all or part of the kit, adding their own pictures, to create a layout. Kits are most often offered for download in zipped folders.

Quick Pages

Quick pages are similar to kits, except for the layout is already put together for you. You simply add your pictures and any elements to the layout and you are done.

Journaling

Journaling for a digital scrapbooking layout is the same as journaling for a traditional layout. Your words might include an explanation of the pictures, a memory of the event, a quote, or a poem. On a digital scrapbooking page journaling is almost always in type, but can be hand written after the layout is printed. (It's nice for later generations to see your handwriting.)
