A Beginner's Reference to Digital Scrapbooking

I like to share my layouts with friends and family on the web. We have a family web site where I often post layouts. I also sometimes email them. I save all of my layouts to an external hard drive and CD for later use and I print the layouts and put them into an album.

Sharing Layouts with other Digital Scrapbookers

There are many digital scrapbooking sites on the web where you can post your layouts for feedback or just fun. You can post here in the About Graphics Software Forum in the "Art Gallery - Show & Tell" section. Whenever you post your layout publicly, be sure to list any elements or papers you bought or downloaded for free from someone else, any sketches or scraplift information, and always be sure you have permission of parents and guardians if your layouts contain photos of children. If you do not have permission, it is okay to blur the face of the child so that he or she cannot be recognized. It is a courtesy to list any freeware fonts you used, and a must to list any commercial fonts.

Printing Digital Scrapbooking Layouts

Digital scrapbooking layouts can be printed in any size. The most popular sizes are 8.5x11, 8x8, and 12x12. To print layouts larger than letter size, you will need a wide format printer or a printing service (i.e. Kinkos or Walmart).
