Saturday’s Scrappin’ Question

July 21, 2007 by Meredith

What type of scrapbooking do you prefer? Digital or traditional?

I personally prefer digital for two reasons. One, all of my pictures are digital pictures so this saves time and money on printing. And two, how much time and space it takes to keep traditional supplies organized.

    I enjoy both. All my pictures are digital, so I make digital pages to place in my scrapbook and then I embellish them with traditional elements.

    oh by far I prefer traditional. I like being able to take a finished book off the shelf and flip through it to remember myself or to share with family and friends. I find as easy as it is to “share” digital scrapbooks most people don’t enjoy anything more than the pictures which I can share via other means which are faster and more convienent. Especially with dialup still being widespread.

    Oh yeah: Also, traditional makes a great gift for the grandparent or parent who has everything (although either would probably work for the younger side of the crowd.)

    Aaaaaaand paper shopping is just so addicting and pretty!! 😉

    I prefer digital for scrapbooking because my photos are already on my computer and easy to edit that way, and I can use the digital supplies over and over again. I also like being able to undo anything I mess up. However, I do love traditional scrapbooking for doing things for gifts, like mini-albums, cards, and other paper crafts. I guess I like to play in both worlds. I print out a lot of digital supplies too to use in paper scrapping.
