The benefits of digital scrapbookings (from: [])
 * **No Mess -** all of your supplies are on your computer or CDs. No need to spend tons of time getting supplies out just to have to put them away again! And if you have to leave in the middle of a project, just hit save and walk away! ||
 * **The Undo Button** - anything you do can be undone. No ruined photos or products. ||
 * **No Waste -** all items are reusable and easily recolored. ||
 * **Photo Manipulation** - you can crop your photos, change the colors, turn them black and white, tint them. There are so many things you can do to your photos to help make them stand out in your layouts. No need to go to the photo lab to get a photo enlarged and no more cropping mistakes! ||
 * **Multiple Copies** - you can create multiple copies of scrapbook pages and albums for friends and family without having to make the same page over and over again. Just hit print! ||
 * **Preservation** - All photos, pages, and albums can be digitally preserved on CDs in multiple locations. If something were to happen to your home or your scrapbooks, you can easily just reprint. ||
 * **Time** - digital scrapbooking can take less time by using pre-made supplies and pages. These are great for professionals or moms without a lot of time. ||
 * **Different Styles** - paper scrapbooking encompasses many different styles, and so does digital scrapbooking! There are even styles within digital scrapbooking that cannot be recreated on paper, such as the photo montage. ||
 * **Sharing your Scrapbook** - there are more ways to share your scrapbook pages than just in an album. Scrapbooking digitally makes it easier to share your pages with friends and family through email, on the web, or in slideshows. ||
