Digital Scrapbooking

There is much controversy over digital scrapbooking vs. traditional. I can remember years ago when I first started to scrap the traditional way, I thought that digital could never come close to the "feeling" that the traditional books have. I can remember thinking that they didn't have that handmade feel to them. By accident, I came across a digital storybook at a fair and immediately fell in love with the books. They really were beautiful! What could be better than your pictures and your stories in a beautiful hardbound book?

I still had questions of what would I do with my baby memorabilia like their locks of hair and birth announcements,or my treasured keepsakes like ticket stubs, or my kids adorable art projects. What about all my memorabilia that I have been saving for years? I soon learned tips on what to do with my memorabilia.. Besides, which is better? To save all these things with the intentions that one day you will get around to it or, do it a much simpler way and have the books done and reliving those precious memories every time you pick up your books?
