Creating a Digital Scrapbook Layout

Creating a digital scrapbook page layout is fun and easy. Several software programs like FotoFinish, Corel Photo Album 6 Deluxe and Ulead's Photo Express My Scrapbook give you loads of free scrapbook templates, and digital scrapbooking is a lot cheaper, less messy and takes up a lot less space than traditional scrapbooking methods. If you are new to computer scrap booking, here are some tips on designing a layout using a scrapbook template.

Snapfish Offers Unique Scrapbooking Products. They're a great resource for photo borders, with over 100 photo borders to choose from, elegant to fun. You also get free online storage so you can share your scrapbook pages with friends and family. It's free to sign up and you will get your first 20 prints FREE! Plus, get 4x6" prints as low as 12-cents.

There are several software programs with good digital scrapbooking features. In this example I am going to use FotoFinish because they have exceptional scrapbooking capabilities with a large variety of free scrapbooking templates and free scrapbook clipart and stock photos for your projects. It's also one of the easiest programs to use.

  • First, download a free trial of FotoFinish Studio. It comes with the FotoFinish Designer companion module that lets you create custom layouts by combining photos cropped to shapes with clip art and other design elements. To launch the Designer, simply click on the Create New Layout button.

  • Choose your layout
    You'll be presented with a Welcome Dialog that allows you to choose from a variety of layout templates including Classic Frames, Collages & Albums. Click on Collages & Layouts and then View Examples. When you find a layout you like click on Create to open it for editing. I am going to select the 4x6 Horizontal layout.

I think I want two frames on my page, so I am going to use the selection tool and copy and paste a duplicate of this photo frame below the first one, so I will have two 4x6 horizontal frames.
