Progress
Since I started digital scrapbooking, I am excited every time I finish a page. I have never, ever felt creative, except for the rather brief period in which I inexplicably thought I'd be a fiction writer. But scrapbooking appeals to my inner itch to create something, to play with color, to just be creative.
My pages aren't works of art. Maybe they never will be. I certainly know I need to learn how to actually use my camera. I've taken "point and shoot" to a rather depressing level in the past.
But I did something and it's cool. It's something that will endure, and hopefully my future grandchildren won't find it weird that I devoted entire scrapbook pages to the dog.
Comments
Many, many of the elements out there look truly "real" when printed - one expects them to have texture and depth. They don't appear to be as "flat" as one might imagine a digital image of a staple or flower or ribbon might be.
I use Adobe's Photoshop Elements for this, by the way.
