What is Digital Scrapbooking? Digital Scrapbooking is the process of creating scrapbook layouts, cards or projects on the computer using image-editing software. Digital photographs and scrapbooking graphics are imported into an image editing-program where they can be arranged to create a scrapbook page or project. Completed pages are then stored on the computer and can be printed out and placed in a scrapbook album. Visit our Gallery to see what has been created with our digital products.
