Okay, I’ll admit I’m not a techie. In fact, Keith had to give me a tutorial on my new printer last night. So when everyone started talking about digital scrapbooking, I just stopped listening. After all, I like using my papers and supplies and doing things by hand. However, I am also faced with a lot of unscrapped photos…more and more every day! Especially since I use a digital camera—now I’ve got tons of photos stored on my computer and I’m frankly getting a little overwhelmed by them all. So when we at HOTP decided to create a website that allowed scrappers to drag and drop those digital photos onto a pre-designed layout…well, now I’m listening! And in fact, it’s really, really easy (even for a non-techie like me).

It’s called Paper Wishes Digital–and it’s exactly for people like me who love taking photos, but don’t always have the time to make a traditional scrapbook. And this is so easy…no software to buy or programs to install. Just upload your photos, drag and drop them, type your journaling and you’re set. You can get pages printed and delivered to you (I placed my order this morning!) or email them (I also did that this morning—my mom loved it!) or print them yourself (this would involve that printer I struggled with, so I think I’ll pass). Even better, you’ll get your pages done. I was really excited to get these four pages scrapped in about half an hour! That’s a miracle for me!
