What are the pros and cons of traditional paper scrapbooking versus digital scrapbooking?
Public Comments
1. You can sit on the sofa and share it with others sitting next to you, instead of a computer where you can all look at the monitor together. It might be easier to put together too.2. I like digital photography but there is nothing like having a paper copy of your memories. Unfortunately, technology changes and years from now you may not be able to access your digital scrapbook. Computers and programs are always being updated!
3. Both are really cool. Traditional scrapbooking is far more expensive, time consuming, can be messy with the glue, and the final product may have limited shelf life. On the other hand you can be really creative if you have artistic ability. Digital scrapbooking can offer just as much creativity provided you have the knowledge to handle sophisticated software programs. Digital approach does not have the issue of messy glue, and the shelf life of the final product is quite long. Digital scrapbook product can be printed as a scrapbook. There are some sites such as Cropmom.com at http://www.cropmom that offer scrapbookers the use of digital scrapbooking elements and graphics without the cost of purchasing software.
