Question about Digital Scrapping

[Maddie2]

Hello everyone. I am fairly new to scrapbooking -- meaning I have been collecting the supplies for years, but have not followed through quite as well as I had planned/hoped.

I have made several photo albums/scrapbooks on Shutterfly and Snapfish and have found these to be a fun way for me to make memory books - especially for major family vacations.

I have recently been invited to a Creative Memories digital scrapbooking party and I am wondering if any of you use this product? I have checked their website and I am wondering if I can achieve what I want by merely staying with Snapfish/Shutterfly - and not invest in all the CM stuff?

If I am reading this correctly, it looks like just printing your book through CM costs more than on either of the online services ... plus the purchase price of all of the software, etc, etc. (Do they ever have sales??)

If you use CM digital, what do you love about it? I am planning to go to the party to see what it is all about, and if I decide to do it, what are the basics that I would want to purchase to get started?

Thank you, in advance, for your responses.
