Scrapbooking with Scrapbook MAX! software  – is it really for me? Absolutely yes! Here are nine money, time (and sanity) saving reasons to ‘go digi’ with Scrapbook MAX!. You may never go back to paper again.

1. 100% REUSABLE ITEMS  – Picture yourself filling a basket at your local craft store with pricey scrapbooking papers, embies, mattes, and ribbons. It sure wouldn’t take you long to spend 20, 40, 50, even a $100 dollars! You use them item once, hopefully exactly as you plan, and  – whoosh! – they’re done. Digital scrapbook kits and templates solve that problem. You can use them again and again, project after project, never worrying about tearing or ripping.
2. NO SPECIAL TOOLS REQUIRED –  It’s pretty obvious that going digi saves you from buying paper and embellishemts. But think what you’ll be saving on tools, too. No need to buy fancy scissors, punches, rulers, cutting mats, crimpers, croppers, stamps, markers, embossing gadgets, and more. With Scrapbook MAX! you’ll be trimming, cutting, fading, colouring, adding shapes and cutouts, stamping, embossing – you’ll just be using a mouse instead of a chest of expensive tools.
3. SAVE SPACE – Without all those physical tools, accessories, and supplies, you also don’t have to dedicate a crafting table (or a crafting room) to scrapbooking. Just power up the ‘puter, and get scrapping. So easy!
4. SAVE TIME –  No set-up or annoying take down (let’s face it – that’s half the battle!). No scrapbook mess getting in the way of other family activities. No trips to the craft store hoping to find what you need. Just turn on your computer and begin. You can even shop the web for kits as you scrap, or find what you need for free!
5. INSTANT RE-DO – It’s going to happen, you’re going to lay something in a way that looks…meh. But with digital scrapbooking, you don’t have to live with it. Just hit ‘undo’, and try again without the waste of throwing anything out, and the hassle of starting over from scratch.
6. SPECIAL EFFECTS EXTEND YOUR STASH – Scrapbook MAX! let’s you easily re-colour and add effects to your photos. Not only do you not need a special photography software program (another savings), you can change up the way embies and papers look by transforming their colour, transparency, and shape. A single element can be used in a dozen projects and never look the same way twice. You’ve just scored multiple embies for the price of one (or even for the price of free! See below…)
7. FREE STUFF! – Our software comes with a bonus expansion pack full of stylish templates and embellishments. Without any further purchase, you have gorgeous, high-quality content that you can use for a whole host of scrapbook themes, again and again.
8. MORE FREE STUFF! Scrapbook MAX! is 100% compatible with virtually all image formats (.JPG, .PNG, .TIF, .GIF. ) meaning that you can take advantage of the tens of thousands of free scrapbooking kits available on line. Not just in our online community (great stuff here!)…but on any scrapbooking site. (Really!)
9. USE SCRAPBOOK MAX! FOR OTHER PROJECTS – Scrapbookers who use our program know that it doesn’t stop with scrapbooks. Because you can change the size and dimensions of your pages, and share in digital and print forms, you can use Scrapbook MAX! for a ton of non-scrapbook projects. Think cards, posters, bookmarks, invitations, – even candy bag toppers, self-published picture books, and gift tags.

You love making awesome scrapbooks with Scrapbook MAX!, but there are SO many other projects you can make with this software. Don’t be afraid to ‘think outside the scrapbook’ – basically any project that calls for a blend of images and text and that you want to share in print or digital form is a go!

Here are  some ways we’ve used Scrapbook MAX! to get you started – but there are dozens more (probably a hundred more) possibilities:

Printable Ideas

Gift Tags and Cards – Why not try making your own personalized cards or tags?  You get to choose the design and the exact sentiment (and save some cash in the process). You can even lay out multiple gift tags on a single page – design one tag, and copy and paste as many times as you want.  Print out the sheet and save time and money saver.

Brochures and Newsletters – Use Scrapbook MAX! to layout a community newsletter or community group brochure. You can add instant colour and personality with fancy text and graphics. Because you can customize your page size, it’s easy to set up a page that can be folded in just the right way, too. Love that!

Recipe Cards – Again, make use of the handy custom size options, and then create lovely, personalized recipe cards that can be printed for your own recipe box, or included with that delish jar or jam or basket of cookies you’ve made and plan to share as a gift.

 

Jazz Up Your Online ‘Signature’

• Email Invitations – It’s getting more and more common to ‘mass email’ event invitations to family and friends. It sure beats the phone and it makes RSVP-ing smoother – but email can be pretty…dry. Why not jazz up your messaged with a colourful invitation made in Scrapbook MAX!. Without licking envelopes, your email looks that much more ‘inviting.’
• Design your own ‘scrappy’ online community avatars, special ‘siggys’to liven up posts in online communities, give your Facebook page a scrappy’cover image’, etc. – You can get creative with by scrapping a page with a selfie or photo, or just let an image of one of your beautiful scrapbook pages represent you on social media. Unique, unforgettable you!
