Cheater

I am a scrapbook cheater!! I like the idea of scrapbooks, mostly everyone else's scrapbooks. I have never really been into making scrapbooks mainly because I don't make the time to sit down and do it, and go out and buy the things to do them. But, I do have pictures that I would like to arrange in a creative and visually appealing way. So, my solution to this problem...I went out and bought scrapbook software. I can sit at a computer for long periods of time doing things easier than I can get tape, buttons, ribbons and other things out on my table and try to put together a picture masterpiece. This software essentially uses the many things that someone who is scrapbooking would...they just aren't real. You can arrange them on a page, crop pictures, use backgrounds, different letters and embellishments. It is my way of scrapbooking. Two other good things about this is that if I want to, I can print the pages out and put them in a book, and I can make CD's and view them on the TV. So, I can show other people my pictures.

I am excited about this software and have already started a project for my dogs. I've got 3 pages done so far (which is monumental for me). I am not abandoning scrapbooks all together since I have a wedding one that I need to finish. I've just found an easier method for me.

Shawna,
you aren't a cheater, you have just completely bypassed the elementary stuff and moved on to hard core "digital scrapbooking"

But still you must come and play paper scrapbooking with us one friday night.

What is this software called?
