Can you combine digital and hand scrapbooking?

Question

I want to make a baby book using a digital scrapbooking program to give to a friend at her shower. Can I make only the layouts, have it printed and let my friend add pictures by hand (not digitally) and journaling? Can you write on the pages with regular pen?

Answer 1

Aww how sweet! Yes you can! I love scrapbooking and this is exactly how I like to do it, although I do digitally add most of my pictures but I also print 3x5's or whatever size of picture that I want to add by hand on a printed background or a beautiful premade 25 cent background scrapbook paper that I buy at the hobby store and make my page that way. I also use the digital embellishments along with the digital background, print it and then I buy extra (hand) embellishments at the craft store to add to the page. It's so fun and I'm sure that your friend will enjoy making the rest of this herself. What a wonderful gift! There is so many ways to incorporate digital, hand done pages together! I hope this helps......

Yes, Yes, and Yes. Digital Designs let you concentrate on the photos and the journaling. You can make great layouts without the glue and the trimmers and punches.

If you don't have a good program, take a look at some of these.

Yes, for sure!!

I use photomix software with my scrapbooking.  I usually make collage layouts and then add the orginal picture into aftward.  Then you can add anything extra you want.  you can even put in text if you want.  So I say go for it.   Make those scrapbooks original and fun.
