I'll admit that digital scrapping totally intimidates me.

But, really, it shouldn't.

I spend a lot of time on my computer these days, between work things like editing photos, updating my website, creating collages, and fun things like blogging, facebooking, and message boarding.

What has been holding me back from digital scrapbooking? All of my pictures are on my computer, and I have admittedly gotten bad about printing them out regularly. I'm very comfortable with photoshop, and there are tons and tons of cute digital products out there.

But I've always been a paper scrapper. I like the mess, the feel of the paper, moving around the elements, and holding my completed page. For 9 years now, I've been a paper scrapper.

But you know what? Every once in awhile, it's really good to change things up. When I think back on my life over the past 9 years, lots of things have changed. My family has grown by three little people, and while we live in a bigger space than we did 9 years ago, more people means more stuff. The mess that used to never bother me now drives me a little crazy. Sometimes, even the thought of the mess is enough to make me not even want to start a page! My scrapbook space/office is in the dining room (the first room you see when coming into my home) and it drives me nuts when it's messy. I have 6 curious little hands to contend with and no door to close if I want them to stay clear of my projects.

Maybe, just maybe, now is the time for me to dig into digital scrapbooking a bit. The Faith digital collection was just the push I needed. I now share with you my first ever digital scrapbook page.



I'm sure that I'm not ever going to give up on paper scrapbooking completely. But I am so glad that I decided to give digital a try!
