New Article: A Beginner's Guide to Digital Scrapbooking

DigitalScrapbook.com has been around for over eight years now, so we thought, why not finally explain to people what even is digital scrapbooking? I don't know if your experience is like mine, but when people ask what I do and I tell them I run a digital scrapbooking website, I get a lot of blank stares. To finally put all the questions from friends and family to rest, we've created this What is Digital Scrapbooking article. Feel free to send it to anyone who has always wondered what you're up to :)

And if you're new to digital scrapbooking, even better! Hopefully this article will answer all your questions. And if doesn't, be sure to let us know!

We cover pretty much everything in the article from the history of scrapbooking, to digital scrapbooking software and kits and how to get started here at DigitalScrapbook.com.

We've included lots of links to places around the web, so even if you're an experienced digi-scrapper, there might be something for you to take away as well. And if you think we've missed something, definitely let us know!

And hopefully this will bring you a little encouragement that if there's something you've been meaning to do for eight years, it's not too late! You can do it too!

About Me

Hi There! I’m Marisa Lerin and you’ll see me around at DigitalScrapbook.com a lot. I started this site in 2010 soon after I discovered a new love in digital scrapbooking. DigitalScrapbook.com has gone through some significant changes since that time and it’s grown into this lovely community site you are seeing now. I am daily surprised by the turn of life’s events that has led me down this path. If you're new to the site, welcome! Here are a few tidbits about me that I hope will help you get to know me better!

I’m originally from Minnesota, USA, but spent a good chunk of my childhood living abroad (in Bolivia and Hong Kong). I returned to Minnesota to attend university, got married and then moved overseas again (Korea, then Jordan and 1 year of traveling). My designs are heavily influenced by these many nomadic years. I am currently back in the USA, now living in the great state of Oregon!

I have no official training for what I’m doing, since I decided very wisely (haha) to study physics in university. I am always learning new things about digital scrapbooking, and this community has been immensely helpful for that!

If I manage to stop digital scrapbooking you will probably find me watching TV, reading or baking. I also enjoy writing for the blog here at DigitalScrapbook.com where I talk about whatever happens to be catching my fancy at the moment.
