I started paper scrapping in 2003 after Judi introduced me to this great hobby. I have loved every minute of playing with paper, scissors and glue but in the last year have switched to “the dark side” and started digital scrapping. This is for a number of reasons really:
1. I ran out of shelf space for all my paper layouts.. all 2367 of them!
2. I can't stop scrapping as it's a great stress reliever and so digital made sense.
3. With Digital Scrapping I can scrap on the go - I scrap on a tablet using PixelLab and can take it with me wherever I go... I am not bound to a desk
4. There is no mess with digi scrapping... hehehe. This is definitely a plus as I don't have to tidy up. I can just close my tablet and call it a day!
5. Yes I do miss playing with ink and doing lots of techniques, but I have learnt how to incorporate some of these in my digi layouts now too. I am keeping very close to my same style of scrapping just with a few adjustments.
6. Printing a book for the year, plus any kits that I buy, does add up but when I look at how much I spent on paper scrapping it's about the same cost. There isn't must difference in the budget department!
7. The huge plus however is that I get a LOT more in a digi kit for the same or less than a paper kit cost, plus I get to keep the goodies forever and can use them over and over and over again... oh and I never run out of e's in my alphabet stickers.... hehehehe.
8. I can also scrap photos over and over again using different kits everytime until I eventually decide that it's time to print. If I don't want to print a layout I don't have to... but it is a memory scrapped.
These are just some of the reasons why I digi scrap... there are lots more and the reasons will ever evolve depending on where I am and what I am doing. For now, scrapping makes me happy and the memories are kept alive.
