Discovering Digital Storybooking

by Nikki Wooton

I really enjoy scrapbooking.  When I first began scrapbooking, I didn’t have a lot of money to spend on it so I figured out ways to keep the costs down. For my wedding scrapbook, I cut out many of my embellishments from all of the cards we were given.  I also used left-over ribbon and just got creative with my designs.  As far as knowing what to do, I just looked at other people’s examples and learned as I went.  I have never claimed to be an expert, I just enjoy doing.

Now, one thing I have not figured out how to do is cut down on is the time it takes to create a traditional scrapbook.  I am a perfectionist, so I work on something until I am satisfied. This means that sometimes I may take several hours on one page.  Plus, I do not have an area that I can leave my work out.  These are my excuses for not completing either of my kids’ first year scrapbooks… let’s just say that I still have a long way to go on both.

However, I have finally found a way that I can have time, not much to leave out, and no worries of my son running off with the scissors!  DIGITAL SCRAPBOOKING was the answer for me!  Don’t get me wrong, I think traditional scrapbooking is wonderful, but I needed something that I could pick up and put down easily and make my digital pictures more assessable and convenient.  I had not heard much of digital scrapbooking until I found the perfect company.

Heritage Makers is an online digital storybooking company that gives you the resources to create personalized photo storybooks, calendars, posters, and cards.  The quality is amazing, and it's great for preserving memories of and for your kids and other family.  One of the things I really love about this process is that it is completely online.  That means you can access your account and your projects anywhere you have internet access and a computer!

This digital storybooking concept has given me the chance to create stories of my family, and I have so many more photo stories to create.  I loved this idea so much that I became an Independent Consultant with Heritage Makers.  I urge you to check this company out for yourself at www.makephotostories.com.
