With most of us feeling the pinch of the economic downturn, we’re all trying to save money wherever we can. And one of the places we might be looking is how much we spend on our love of scrapbooking.
Digital Scrapbooking to the rescue.
I think digital scrapbooking is a brilliant way to pursue your love of creating scrapbook layouts at a low cost.
After all, if you already have a computer, printer and Internet connection, the only thing you need to purchase is a good graphics editing software program, such as Photoshop Elements (my own weapon of choice) and you don’t actually need to buy anything else unless you choose to do so.
You can save even more money if you buy an older version on ebay at a fraction of the new version cost. I use PSE version 5 and I find that is just fine for everything I need to create great scrapbook layouts.
Once you know how to modify existing elements and tailor them suit to your different layouts and how to make your own elements you’re totally set and need never spend another cent.
It doesn’t get any more economical than that!
What’s an easy way to learn how to do this digital scrapbooking thing?
If you have been reading Scraps of Mind for a while you will know that I have an alter-ego teaching a beginners digital scrapbooking course over at Step By Step Digital Scrapbook.
The site offers a heap of information to help newbies get started and for those who would like some extra tuition, I offer a weekly Mentoring Program which delivers you eclasses demonstrating step by step how to create a new layout each week.
Each eclass shows you new digital scrapbooking techniques which build up your skills to turn you into an expert.
Oh and by the way, you also get complementary full digital scrapbooking kits to enable you to make your own version of each demonstrated layout. And the kits also contain plenty of other elements that we don’t use in the demonstrated layout so you can make your own unique scrapbook layouts too.
If this sounds like something you would like to do you can join here. We’d love to have you in the program.
Anyway, I made a video to show you what goes on in the Mentoring Program and I thought you might like to have a look.
So here it is. Just click on the graphic to open a high resolution version of the video.
So how about joining the Program and save bucks on your scrapbooking supplies whilst still creating fabulous scrapbook layouts?
And please let me know what you think.
