Scrapbook My Life

Paper + Pixels: Scrapbook Layouts by Audrey Neal and May Flaum is a must-have book for anyone interested in beginning digital scrapbooking who still wants to find a way to use up their stash of traditional scrapbook supplies. I find the concept of digital scrapbooking so appealing, but I have enough cardstock and embellishments to open a small store after almost six years of hording supplies. That’s why I love the premise of this book – it encourages you to think of digital elements as additions to your normal scrapbook layouts instead of a total replacement for the products you’ve grown to love.

The “hybrid” style of scrapbooking covered in Paper + Pixels is easy to do even if you’re not too computer savvy. All you need is a computer, printer, and basic image editing software. And, if you lack the patience to search for free digital kits online, the book also includes a fabulous CD filled with papers and embellishments for a variety of themes, including baby scrapbooks and vacation albums.
