pinkaboo- your pages are awesome. I really need to try that.
I did a scrapbook in a box for my sailor and thought I would share a couple of pics, of course there are a lot more flaps with pics than you see here but it turned out really cool.

@Jody - It just darned on me...I do print some things. I also use scrap-booking to make the bulletin covers for my husband's church, wedding programs, invitations, etc. Here's a cover I did tonight for the holiday season:

@Jody - I use PaintShop by Corel to do my editing. Here's a good site to learn a the basics and a few good tricks: http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/university/tutorials/tutorials....
Some of my favorite sites to shop are:
The Shabby Shoppe - http://www.theshabbyshoppe.com
After Five Designs - http://www.afterfivedesigns.com/shoppe/home.php
Digi Design Resort - http://www.digidesignresort.com/shop/
That's just a few, but there are tons of shops out there. You can even find daily freebies on Craft Crave - http://digifree.craftcrave.com.
I don't normally print them out, although they could easily be. The pages are 12x12 and a lot of stores, such as Wal-Mart, print in that size. The pages can even be bound into really nice hardcover, coffee table styled books. I mainly make slide shows with music in the background and burn to DVD. They make really nice gifts.
I've only been doing this for about two years, but I'm a web/graphic designer by trade, so it wasn't that difficult for me to learn. On the other hand, paper scrap-booking would be a real challenge. I am a complete klutz when it comes to crafts whether it's sewing, drawing, crocheting, painting, etc. I seriously have two left hands when it comes to anything crafty, but I love, and envy a little, people who are crafty. It's so fascinating to me.

@Jackie....LOL. I know, I know...I'm doing it the lazy way, but I'm a lot craftier with a computer than I am with a pair of scissors.

We had a weekend crop again this weekend. I am making a scrapbook for my sister-in-law for Christmas and I got 10 pages finished in 2 days. For me that is a record. :-)
