Learning the basics of digital scrapbooking is a fun process that takes no special knowledge of computers to accomplish. It saves money because the same supplies can be used again and again and it saves time and energy as well as space since supplies don't need to be stored.

Get Started With Digital Scrapbooking Step by Step

Step 1 Select a scrapbooking program. Consider free programs available,such as Google Picasa or purchase digital scrapbooking software designed specifically.

Step 2 Install the chosen program on your computer. Take any tutorials offered with the software to familiarize yourself with the options available.

Step 3 Select a photograph from the images on your computer and select a background that goes with the photograph. For a vibrant scrapbook templates & layout, choose colors that are on opposite ends of the color wheel. For a soft and more natural layout, choose colors that are beside each other on the color wheel.

Step 4 Drop the photograph on to the background paper you've chosen. Add a frame, a ribbon, a bow and any other embellishments you like to create a layout that's pleasing to you.

Step 5 Save the final digital scrapbook pages once you've arranged everything the way you want it.
