Memory Keeping Today

When I began scrapbooking for my family in 1995, I invested in Creative Memories albums, papers, and tools. My husband wanted to know why I wasn’t making some sort of digital version of a scrapbook. “I don’t want to,” I told him. I couldn’t comprehend that I would EVER enjoy looking at my photos on a screen.

Boy, did I lack vision! But, hey, I also loved working with paper – still do, though I find that grabbing a computer is often much easier than grabbing scissors and paper.

Technology has done more than make the creation of digital scrapbook pages possible — and desirable. Technology has given us a whole new approach to preserving, organizing, and presenting photos. Worry about acid-free? Heck no! I’ve got a digital version as backup.

In this section of the Get It Scrapped! we’ll be sharing ideas, approaches, tools, and technologies for alternatives to traditional scrapbook — and even to digital photo albums.

We’ll be talking about things like:

• the journey your photos make from camera to their final storage spot
• editing techniques for your photos
• storage and backup strategies for your photos both in your home and off-site
• online photo sharing
• the many digital and print possibilities for presenting your memories
