are people still digi scrapping?

I scrapped some of 2010 and 2011 doing digi scrapping. I could *never* get the hang of it. Figuring the drop shadows and layering was confusing. There wasn't anything to clean up, but I spent just as much time on them as a regular page. Because I sucked at the basics, my pages didn't look very dimensional. Especially when I would try to use "metal" elements. I tried to find quick pages that were finished and you just add photos. Too many times, the photo slot was quite small and that is what I wanted to show the most.

When it was really big, other digi scrappers were insistent if a page is posted to credit every element and paper to the designer. Another thing I sucked at was organizing all that stuff in an easy to find way. So, I rarely would post pages.

I'm thinking of buying stuff from Becky Higgins digital projects and using the template pages.  I'll add photos, journal cards, and not worry about the actual designing of the pages! I also want to buy from Echo Park.

My favourite digi shops have been The Lilypad, Sweet Shoppe Designs, The Digital Press, and Becky's Digital Project Life shop.

I've dabbled a bit, but I prefer playing with paper and physical supplies. I have done a few hybrid type layouts with printing things out and then making physical pages.

I haven't purchased in a while because I'm trying to use up my stash. LOL! Most of my purchases were from Snap, Click, Supply Co (Jessica Sprague affiliated).

I am trying a hybrid style this year. I am mainly using PL templates, going to print them out, and then add actual embellishments like stickers, alphabets, etc. Also going to do some hand-written journaling on them.

I do both digi and paper scrapping and these days my pages are a combination of both. My absolute favorite digital shop is Designer Digitals because with my Cameo I can easily change a digital element into a paper one.

Used Creative Memories Storybook Plus (now Panstoria), and when I first got started, made recipes cards and had them printed on standard 4x6 prints. Great way to learn the software (which I found easy). Bought Panstoria since I used to be a heavy user. I love it although I'm so busy I don't get to play around with it too much. My sister has 5 kids, and she usually makes 1-2 digital albums a year. I guess it depends on your tolerance and style.

I do both. My favorite digi sites are the Digital Press, the Lilypad, & Jessica Sprague.
