I started out as a paper scrapper in summer 2006, even took classes for it and got addicted to it. I think every time I got my paycheque, I’d head straight to Scrap-a-Lot to shop for more supplies and tools. I loved this hobby, but it’s very expensive. I spent hundreds of dollars on my still incomplete scrapbook. And then in October 2006, I discovered the wonderful world of The Sims 2. So a month after that, I created my first Sims 2 series, Vanity High.
Anyway, back to present time… Digital Scrapbooking is definitely something that’s new to me. There are pros and cons though. I like how you can just press undo whenever you make a mistake, but in paper scrapping, covering up your mistakes is not that simple. Also, in digital scrapbooking, buying your supplies and tools is a lot cheaper. You can get a really cheap software or a really expensive software depending on how much you’re willing to spend. I really love the convenience of Digital Scrapbooking, that I’m even considering buying a third hard drive just to store all my scrapbook projects (that is, if Josh lets me…
). My second hard drive is actually for storing my Sims 2 movie projects.
But in my opinion, nothing beats paper scrapping — I feel more accomplished every time I finish one page from paper scrapping and I love the 3D effect. I’ll eventually want a new graphics card though. *hint*hint*
