Digital vs Traditional

I've been thinking a lot lately about digital scrapbooking and traditional scrapbooking. I started making traditional scrapbooks over 10 years ago, and I must made my first digital scrapbook last year. I've been asked by many people which one I prefer. The answer is complicated...here's my stab at it:

Traditional Scrapbooking

• You can create your pages in a hands-on way that is therapeutic and enjoyable.
• It's fun to get together with other people while you create your albums.
• While with others, you can tell the stores behind the photos and swap ideas.
• You can journal in your own handwriting so future generations can see it.
  

Digital Scrapbooking

• You can work on projects in small bits of time here and there.
• There are no physical supplies or tools to put away when you need to stop.
• If you have a laptop, you can work on your projects just about anywhere.
• You can share pages and/or albums with friends and family far away.
• You can print multiple copies of the same page or album with no extra effort.
• Albums are generally thinner and therefore more portable.
• If anything happens to a digital scrapbook, you can upload it again and print a new copy.
• Digital papers and embellishments can be used over and over again.

There are definite advantages to both methods...you need to choose the one that fits you and/or your project the best!
