for my wedding gift to FH i wanted to make a scrapbook of all our memories since day 1 til the wedding. i've always thought i'd do this by hand but i **** at things like that. but i'm really into photoshop and i think im good with it.
so should i do my scrapbook using the computer? or stick to the traditional way?
i can't decide and i need to start soon!!!!

I also want to do a scrap book - I would like to do a little bit of both.

I personally think it would look much nicer if you stuck with doing it by hand. Although it takes up a lot time to hand cut things and paste, etc... I feel it is worth it, you'll love the result. I'm a scrapbook fanatic and buy all my supplies and such at either the scrapbook stores near me or go on line, especially to one particluar site that sell EVERYTHING! You can buy paper piecing that are already done for you and other embellishements that will jazz up your pages without putting much effort into it. Just me opinion.

I would do both. Some pages will lend themself to one style or the other.
Are you going to display it at your wedding?

Fran ~ i wouldn't display it at the wedding cuz i want it to be really personal.
do you guys think it would work well if i did some pages by hand and other pages had the printouts in them?

I think anything that you do from the heart will look beautiful! You should try a little of both and see which way you prefer better.
Good Luck! Lisa

Maybe you could do both - like On page 5 there is a sheet over it saying 'Click on CD number 2 before proceding' and the song that was on the night you had your first kiss comes on as he opens the page that has the napkin from the restraunt you went to that night or something?

I think you should try a little of both and see which you like and possibly do a combination.
Olga - photoshop is a program that allows you to format and combine pictures - then you print the pages. So, she wouldn't be able to 'click' and play a song.
