Emerging Technology- Scrapblogging!!

I had so much fun with this! Once I got started I didn't want to quit. It's called Scrapblogging. Scrapblogging is the same concept as scrapbooking, but much simpler. You don't have the mess of glue, scissors, paper etc. The first thing you want to do is download your pictures. Then you select to build your scrapblog. You can choose a specific theme or create your own. I started out with using one of their themes and then created my own backgrounds. If you select background it will give you nearly 1000 backgrounds to choose from. I know I have told you all before....I am not a creative person or a technology guru, but anyone can do this. It was simple once you got into the program and began playing around with it. After you have compiled your scrapblog you can download music to go along with the slideshow. You can open your scrapblog for anyone to view or keep it private.

The great thing with scrapblogging is that you can continue to change and add to your scrapblog. You can continue to add pictures as seasons change and your children grow older. I am not into scrapbooking because of the time and hassle, but I have now found a new solution. This was so much fun!

My suggestion to people just starting out with scrapblogger is to explore the site. Begin with downloading your pictures and then choose backgrounds. Play around, you can always change your sheet once you start.

Try it out....you'll love it!

I did the same thing. I thought that it was so much fun. I think that it is a great way for people to express themselves and a change of pace from scrapbooking at home but a much faster way to get it done and to share them with fast and with more than one person!! You did a great job!

I too explored the digital scrapbooking and had a lot of fun. It does help with the mess, money and time you have to put into scrapbooking.

I also did scrapbooking. The site was so easy to navigate, and you're right...it's much easier than regular cutting, pasting, etc.

Very cool! And I like that you can make your ablum private so you can share it or control who is looking at your pictures.
