Love the card, so simple and sweet. I use digital for calendars and gifts, but not for pages. I love to be creative and take my stuff to a crop. I work on the computer all day so I am having a hard time getting into digital for my pages. Thanks!

Stephanie said...

I haven't done any digital scrapping yet. I don't know that I would get the same satisfaction as using my cricut.

Bunnyfreak said...

I digiscrap and print them in photo books.

Carla said...

I do make photo books. I haven't gotten into digital yet!

Cute card! I don't do any digital scrapbooks or photo books, I like the idea of the photo books for something quick but I just love to manipulate paper and create layouts! I would love to win those stamps and Love the banner one with the dies! After seeing all the banners on the Cricut site today I'm in a banner kind of mood, lol! I didn't get to enter so I'm hoping this may help! Thanks for the chance!

LaurieD said...

So happy I have Winter Frolic cause now I have an idea of what to do with that little mouse! Thanks!!!

Cynthia B. said...

Very cute card! The only digital scrapping I do is to print stuff out and use it for a paper page! And photo books - I made about eight of them last year for different girls in my daughter's Girl Scout troop last spring. It was the simple kind, with preset designs you just drop your pictures into...it was easier than paper-scrapbooking eight albums, sure, but I got tired of looking at the same designs.

Thanks for the chance to win - these stamps look awesome!

puffinliz said...

that is the cutest card! And what a great stamp release!

Andrene said...

I have not jumped into digital scrapping and dont know that I will. Something about all those beautiful papers and stamps in real life - they just call out to me!!!

JoellaD said...

I like to do both- sometimes it depends on how quickly I need to do an album. Generally I do digital for gifts and traditional albums for my family.

Marilyn said...

I LOVE these! They are definitely going on my "wish list"!

Kelly O said...

I still like the feel of regular scrapbooking, although a combo might be ok.. I have so much paper... gotta use it... Love Emma's lastest release.. thank you for a chance to win...

I have done three digital photobooks through Shutterfly and Snap Fish. The digital books allowed me to create a quick book and get some thoughts down. But I will still do a traditional "paper" book.

Nina said...

While I do use technology (a Cricut Imagine) for my crafting, I don't use digital scrapbooking. Occasionally, I do make basic digital photo books.

Alisa said...

Strictly paper scrapper. I have WAY too many papers and embellishments that need to be used before switching to digital. Besides, I tried a digital page and it just didn't make sense to me. So I'll continue to hoard supplies :-)

BTW - LOVE the detailed steps.

Donna said...

Love your card, mouse is so cute! In real life--I hate them. I don't do digital other than a few stamps.

I do photo scrap booking. Maybe when I use up all my current album pages, I'll switch to digital, but I'm not sure... Thanks for the chance to win. I already have a couple of Emma's earlier stamps and her first die. I've learned loads from both of you! mom2park

~Miss Sandra~ said...

As much as I admire digital scrapbooking, I think there is nothing nicer than using real paper, real embellishments. I don't do either as yet as I am just starting out but I just love being inspired by all the lovely creations you share with us.
