1. Get a scrapbooking software or photo shopping software

         digital scrapbook. You'll have to choose wether you'll invest in a piece of scrapbooking software or some piece
         of photo shopping software. For both there are free and paid versions each with their own advantages and
         disadvantages.

2. Become familiar with your choose piece of scrapbooking software

         Before really embarking on your first digital scrapbook, you should spend a day or two really getting to know
         the controls and how everything works. This will ensure that you'll know how to do certain moves.
         For every piece of software there's a manual, don't be afraid to look into it!

3. Collect your digital scrapbook material
         Start creating a collection digital scrapbook material like layouts, pictures, images, buttons, fonts, brushes,
         etc. This way you will have a lot of tools available to you right away and you won't have to interrupt your
         digital scrapbooking session. This will make it easier to learn how to digital scrapbook.

4. Make copies of the photos you're going to use
         Yes even when you've got your photos on your computer it might be wise to use copies of your photos
         There's always a chance that you'll accidently save the picture you're editing or delete it and if you are using 
         a copy of your picture you won't lose the photo.

5. Don't be afraid to make mistakes
         The beauty of digital scrapbooking is that you can make mistakes and it won't really matter that much,
         you just press the "undo" button and you can try again. No material wasted, no costs done.

Learning how to digital scrapbook can be difficult in the beginning but once you've got the basics down, it'll become easier and easier for you.
