My wife is really getting into digital scrapbook and would like to get a book on it. Up until now most of her learning has been through the web and a digital scrapbooking magazine but she would really like a book for it. We have a few Photoshop books which help but nothing on digital scrapbooking in particular. She's done Creative Memories in the past and has experience with scrapbooking for years but now wants to transition to digital. Any thoughts?
No thoughts on books, sorry. I've been digital scrapping for 9 years, tho (long before I knew anyone else was doing the same thing & that there was a name for it ). What software does your wife use? I've done all mine with PageMaker (a desktop publishing program, not one dedicated to scrapbooking).
Good luck! And keep us posted if you find anything. A few others here digital scrap, so might have suggestions for books.
This is quite an coincidence! I'm surfing a local online book shop (I'm from South Africa) for a book on scrapping wedding pictures and reading the newsgroup at the same time. Just after reading your post, (and deleting it - lol - that's why I have to reply thru Google now), the very next book I come across on the bookshop site, is on digital scrapping. Here's the specs:
Name: Digital Scrapbooking in Easy Steps Author: John Slater Publisher: Computer Step, published in 2005 Pages: 192, 200 Illustrations
The price over here is R206.00 which converts roughly $40. Our local website is

- I think they do ship internationally - but I'm sure you'll be able to track it down in the States aswell. Good Luck
TLC has a new product called LifeTimez, which makes doing digital scrapbooking a snap.
LifeTimez is a digital scrapbook software that allows you to put together an digital album in minutes. All you do is select the photos you want and pick Insta Page. The software will layout all the pages with a background of your choice. All is left to do is to add embellishments. When you are done, you save the digital album to CD, DVD or print it out. You can even send your album to photo services like PhotoMax, and they will make a hardbound book with your pages.
To get more information about LifeTimez, go to my website

You are too funny Kate! I send a lot of people notices that what they are posting should be prefaced by AD, in the hopes of keeping RCS from looking like ACS. I even sent myself one today. I send each person a polite email explaining our AD policies and letting them know where to go to read our FAQs.
