When I was in high school, I used to scrapbook. Scrapbook in the traditional paper sense. I have one scrapbook that is sort of complete, but I was never very good or very dedicated. If I'm being honest, I mainly scrapbooked because all my friends were scrapbooking. It was the cool thing to do. I've long since given up the hobby after realizing that I lacked the talent, time and money to really pursue it.
Digital scrapbooking, like regular scrapbooking, is just not for me. I have always felt that scrapbooking was more for the artsy people than the crafty people. You need to have a good eye for design and a creativity to experiment with new things. I am just not an artsy sort of person. I have friends who make gorgeous graphic images and co-workers who can turn out fantastic signs for events. I can do neither. (Can't you tell from my glorious sample scrapbooking page up there?)
But, I spent some time playing around with scrapblog and managed to turn out something resembling a scrapbook page. It's not amazing, but it works, right?
My biggest complaint about scrapblog is that a lot of the features aren't free. I had to do a lot of browsing to find the free backgrounds and stickers, which seriously limited what my finished product would look like. Had all of the features been free (like with some other sites), my page probably would have been prettier.
