I use Scrapbooks Plus by IdeaSoft for my digital pics. I have too many on my computer and just need to get them done, so I decided to go this route. I've only done 2 pages, but like what I did, so I will continue, if I can pull myself away from this site and stop joining swaps!

Funny you should ask - On Thursday I received Microsoft Digital Image Suite 10 and was up late that night practicing. Yesterday I scanned several old photos for possible use in a 6 X 6 swap. My first practice photo was one of me that I didn't care for and I ended up antiqueing and framing it. I don't have a digital camera yet but I like scanning my photos.

I had bought a magazine "Digital Scrapbooking" and got hooked. Not because I want to go that way completely but because it gave me ideas to enhance my scrapbooks. Now that I have the software - look out. Something has to get me started on scrapping. :shock:

I took my time and loaded some trial versions of photo editing software and decided which I would find easiest but still have a lot of editing capabilities.

Ask and ye shall receive!!! Although I am doing more hands on scrapbooking now that I'm a demo, I still resort back to my computer programs for quick and easy layouts. Here are the one's I use - was able to get most of them in Target or an office supply store.

Creating Keepsakes Scrapbook Designer Deluxe
Creating Keepsakes Creative Clips & Fonts
Hallmark Scrapbook Studio Deluxe
Hallmark Card Studio 3
DJ Inkers Cut & Copy for computers
Provo Craft Clip Art CD's
Lasting Impressions for Paper

I also have the following, but don't use them as much

Creative Photo Albums
American Greetings Scrapbooks & more
Art Explosion Scrapbook Factory Deluxe
Photo Express My Scrapbook Edition
The Print Shop Deluxe

Hope this helps!
