Everyone wants to preserve the events and memories of their family. From the first steps of the baby to graduation, this is an important part of family life. Being able to share the memories with all the members of the family is much easier when using digital scrap booking. All you have to do is distribute copies via the Internet to all the members of your family that want a copy of the digital scrapbook for themselves.
Birth of Baby
Grandma and Grandpa will be tickled with their own copy of a digital scrapbook showing the birth of their new grandchild. This is one of the advantages of using the Internet for this method of preserving special events. If you were using regular scrap booking for this, you would need to make more than one or ship yours off to all the other members of the family hoping it gets returned in good condition.
From the first breathes they take after arriving in the world to their trip home, digital scrap booking can capture all of these special moments. This is one of the memories that you will want to keep forever.
Weddings
Your best friend is getting married and you want to preserve this for the future. Making a copy for her is another advantage for capturing this momentous day and placing it in a digital scrapbook. You can capture the big moment from start to finish and add the embellishments that are available online, then simply put it all together on your computer.
The mother of the bride and the groom would be very appreciative of this keepsake of the big day in their son or daughter's life. A copy for a grandmother is another terrific idea. They will have a treasured memory they will always be able to find.
School Days
Do you remember when your child first started to kindergarten? The first day of school when you were reluctant to let her go yet you knew you had to be often quite traumatic for a parent's first child. Capture this memory as well as the graduation of this child. You will have a series of her school days that will be cherished forever.
This is just a sample of the days of your child's life that can be captured using digital scrap booking. When the child is grown, they will be thrilled to have a copy of their own for sharing with their children.
Family Vacations
Vacations are always a time for taking pictures to remember the fun you had on that trip to Disneyworld or the big adventure to the ski slopes. Learning how to ski and the falls and tumbles everyone took can be part of the digital scrapbook. Finding embellishments for this adventure will be easy.
The trip to the zoo when the kids were little and the fun they had at the little petting zoo will be another memory you will want to keep. These are times that will be treasured forever when you make them part of a digital scrapbook.
Your Family's Pets
A huge part of your family is the pets you have. They are just as much a member of the family as everyone else. Getting shots of them with your children and the antics they display will make a great memory. Keeping these together will be easy when you use digital scrap booking to save them for future viewing.
The layouts used for constructing a digital scrapbook for these very important members of your family are quite numerous. There are many choices when it comes to embellishments to add to the digital scrapbook. The kids will love taking a few shots of their own and placing them in the scrapbook will allow viewing at any time.
Holidays
Of course, holidays are always a time you want to take photos and preserve the memories of times when the family was all together. When the kids were still small and waiting for Santa's arrival or the Easter Bunny are all times you will want to keep for later years. Hunting Easter eggs and decorating the tree are part of the memories and keeping them safe and secure on your digital scrapbook will ensure they are there years from now.
This is a great way to share holidays with relatives that may be many miles away as well. The digital scrapbook can be sent to them so they will share a part of your family's holiday. This is a wonderful idea for grandmothers and grandfathers who may live too far away to be able to visit often.
Advantages of Digital Scrapbooking
This is one of the best ways to keep all your memories together and avoid the mess and aggravation of trying to keep everything in one place long enough to get it placed in a scrapbook. The digital scrapbook can be colored and have all types of things added to make a super looking scrapbook. The ability to remove red-eye from photos as well as adding music makes this a remarkable way to keep all your memories together.
Sending copies can be done by simply burning a CD and sending it to whomever you want. Posting it on your website or emailing it to others makes this the simplest way to share your digital scrapbook. This is truly one of the most awesome ways to put together a scrapbook for every aspect of your family - from losing that first tooth to the birth of the first grandchild.
