To those who use Creative Memories digital scrapbooking tools or other digital tools?

[k_reile]

Can you print your book out anywhere or does it have to be from Creative memories. I want to start to get into digital scrapbooking bc 1) no mess for my DS to get into 2) i don't have the room for traditional scrapbooking anymore.

Are there other digital scrapbooking programs I need besides the creative memories (or one you think is better??) Does the memory keeper keep track of all digital scrapbooking items or just creative memories??

I read the FAQ on digitial scrapbooking but frankly it just overwhelmed me. I think it is an awesome thing to try to start, so any help or tips would be very much appreciated.

Thanks so much!

To answer your printing question: If you use CM's StoryBook Creator or StoryBook Creator Plus (SBC+), you do not have to print your pages/storybooks from the CM Photo Center. I do, only because I know the finished product is the best in the market, even though it is more expensive than other print shops.

Pricewise, SBC+ is the most cost effective and user friendly product on the market. It cannot do everything that Photo Shop Elements (PSE) can do, but there is so much that it can do. I've been very happy with it. With SBC+ you can use any digital product on the market as long as it's a png file; you cannot use .psd files.

If you're curious to know more about SBC+, feel free to visit this thread (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1826831). Read what's there and ask any questions you may have. It's a good place to do research.

Good luck!
