Today I came across a very exciting development for people who love to create Digital Scrapbook Pages, and also love their iPhone or in my case iPod Touch.

The people over at Coolibah have developed a Digital Scrapbooking App for iPhone and iPod Touch, which will allow us to scrap on the go using our digital devices, now that's just Coolibah.

I have put together a quick presentation about it which you can check out below (just click on the double arrow to go slowly step my step through the slides) also I have included their excellent video explaining how to use the app.

I can't wait for this App to become available, very exciting stuff....



Cheers Groobers

Binder Scrapbook Album

When you decide to begin a scrapbook album it can become a very expensive business.

You will need an album to put all your creations in, page protectors, scrapbook paper, embellishments, tags, journal pens and the lists goes on and on.

As I said this can become a trifle on the costly side, so why not try and create an album yourself using an ordinary White Ring Binder.

Using a binder will allow you to use 8.5x11 inch paper (printer size paper), so there is no need to buy special 12x12 or 8x8 scrapbook paper.  If you are a digital scrap booker this is even better because you can create your whole layout on the computer using your software of choice and then print out your page onto a sheet of photo paper.

You can decorate the front side and back of your plain white binder with photos, embellishments, tags, stickers, glitter labels and anything else you can find to make it a really personal treasure instead of a mass produced scrapbook album. This doesn't need to cost the earth as you can make the tags and embellishments yourself out of everyday items for example old cards can be made into tags or you could use leftover ribbon from gifts or bits of wrapping paper cut up into shapes etc.

The albums are cheap because they only cost you the price of a ring binder (which you can often get at a discounted price if you buy more than one at a time) but can become incredible beautiful if you spend the time and effort decorating them up with your personal style.

Creating albums for different themes now becomes affordable and a whole lot more personal. For example you could create a Disney scrapbook album with all your photos from a special disney vacation, you could decorate the front of the album with tickets from the rides, photographs, stickers of Mickey Mouse and the gang or anything that made the trip such a memorable occasion for you and your family.

Other occasions you could create scrapbook albums for are weddings, births, school events, proms, graduations, halloween, christmas, birthdays really you could create an album for just about anything.

Ending up with a whole bookshelf full of binders but instead of a boring sea of white, you get a treasured set of albums created by you each with a glorious story to tell its reader.
