One of my favorite hobby is digital scrapbooking. Even though I don’t have much time to spend on it, I’m trying to make it a priority to work on it a little at a time.
I don’t remember who told me but that person saw digital scrapbooking as a way to document your family’s history. A person putting memories of his life in a book is like being the family’s historian.
Some people like the paper scrapbooking but I like digital scrapbooking for several reasons:
- If I crop a picture the wrong size, I can always undo it and try cropping it to the correct size.
- If I want to change the color of a background or the frame of a picture, that would be easy to do with the computer. I can actually see what the pages would look like with different colors and change it to the one I like.
- By making a digital scrapbook page or book, I can print multiple copies to send to other family members. Even more, I can even personalize it by changing some text when giving it to a family member.
- There is no mess with papers, glue and pictures where kids can get their hands on them.
I’ll need to be a little more organized with my time if I want to pass our memories on to our grandchildren. Involving the children is another way to further this effort. I thought the children could choose a picture or two that they like and create a scrapbook page.
How will you pass on your family’s history to your grandchildren and great grandchildren?

I'm really going to try out Digital Scrapbooking. I cannot seem to get myself to do the “old” scrapbooking because of all the mess & clutter. I tried doing it the digital way about 4 yrs ago but I am sure the technology has gotten a lot better. I'll have to give it another try. Thanks.
