Want to start digital scrapbooking, but not sure where to begin

I have really enjoyed looking at the digital scrapbooking pages that a lot of the DISers have posted. I really would like to get started doing this for my family too. I went online and did some research for best scrapbooking software, but wasn't sure what people who use the software a lot would say. I saw a program called Memory Mixer 3. Does anyone use this one? Would you suggest a different one? Thanks!

There are quite a few - myself included - who use Storybook Creator Plus from Creative Memories. It is very user friendly. I like it a lot. They also have pre-designed pages you can use to just drop and drag photos in. Of course you can customize as well.

Here are a few pages that I have done with the software:

Okay, this may be a dumb question, but...
If you create your pages with Storybook Creator Plus, can you save the whole page as a jpg and then go to another photo book supplier (like Artscow or Snapfish) and upload those pages to get the books from there? I didn't know if it was specific to the merchandise of Creative Memories or not.

Yes, you can save the page as a jpg and either have it printed in book or page format.
