DS for Life!

So I have found my new hobby. While scrapbooking has always been somewhat of a hobby for me, I have taken it to a new level. Well, new to me anyways! I have been acquainted with the concept of DIGITAL SCRAPBOOKING! "But, Chelsea, " you say, "isn't that a part of your business?" Why yes it is. And while my very talented partner has a niche for such things, I took it upon myself to see what all the hype was about. I must say, it is completely worthy all of the hype!! While the original hand crafted scrapbooking was fun, this resource fits me to a tee. For those of us less than perfectly crafty people, those with a demanding schedule (or in my case, family), and those if us on a tight budget...this hobby is an answered prayer. I can do all my work on the computer, with just a touch of a button, while watching my favorite shows, or playing with Dani, or talking with Justin. All without a mess! No paper to scatter about, or embellishments to keep out of the reach of children. No mess to clean up before company comes over or the need for a room to store it all in. All my resources are on the computer. I could do it traveling down the road, or sitting by the pool (which I have). Now while I still have a stash of scrapbooking supplies, and I still plan on using it from time to time, this quick and simple answer to getting my daughter's life scrapped, is one I just can't overlook. Some people might say, but then you don't have the pleasure of sitting down and having hands on interaction with your photos...I will say, yes, but I will have my life and my families lives scrapped, (and just as well I might add), before you even get done cleaning up your mess. Not that time is the only upside to this treasure, but the money it will save me from having to buy product after product is a major plus!! (Ladies, your husbands will love this perk!) With DS you download (quite often freebies) your supplies and use them over, and over, and over, and well, you get the point. DS will relieve me of the tension of getting the memories archived before its too late. Since starting this new found hobby last week, I have already scrapped ten layouts. 10!!! It's amazing what you can do. I hope that after reading this article, if you haven't already begun DS and you are interested in archiving your memories in a modern, fun, simple, and economical way, then let me suggest DS to you. It is something that will leave you saying, "look at what I made," rather than, "Oh I should have scrapped those pictures when..."
