Digital Scrapbook Software for Creating Your Own Scrapbook Pages

Digital scrapbooking is both a time-saver and money-saver compared to traditional paper scrapbooking. You can create page layouts in minutes without a mess (and we like that idea!). Most dedicated digital scrapbook software programs cost under $40, which makes them a must-have for all of the features you get. Most programs are easy to use and come with lots of built-in templates and layouts, as well as embellishments and backgrounds. You can usually add and use your own digikits as well. Here is a recap of my favorite scrapbooking software:

My Memories Suite

My Memories Suite is excellent digital scrapbooking software with user-friendly tools and editing features and high caliber templates and embellishments. You can choose to print your scrapbook using their online service. The advantage that My Memories Suite has over other photo software programs like Photoshop Elements is that it has the ability to design, add, and arrange all of your pages in a SINGLE workspace. And at under $40 it is a very good deal for the money. My Memories Suite prints professional looking photo books that are beautiful for displaying. The program also allows you to design multi-media slide shows, add video, narration, and music, create calendars, greeting cards and more. Read a full review of My Memories Suite
