Hey Folks,

I have to write an article/essay for an assignment in my writing class. I'd like to write about DIGITAL scrapbooking. One of the things I'd like to include as part of my article/essay is some actual reasons why people digi-scrap and perhaps some details about how long they have been scrapping. I'd also like to include how people have gotten started...and how they chose the program they use.

I think I know where I want to go with my article - but I've also included a poll below. I want to know the top reason that you DIGITAL scrap. What is it that makes it so appealing?? I know MY reasons - but it's not a very good article if I don't try to get the reasons others do this. I've listed some reasons below, if you could either list the most important reason(s) that would be great. I'd like you to list them in order of important, with the most important being first.

If I do well enough, I might be actually submitting this to a couple of different magazines to see if I can get them to publish it (the whole basis of this class is to get published), so if I do decide to, I may ask for more information and of course a release if I need to use anything personal (don't think that's likely though). This

If anyone is willing to help with this, could you either post here or PM me? I would really appreciate your assistance!!

Thank you everyone!!

Gabby - I hope you post your article.

Reasons for digi scrapping.
1 - No mess - I hate cleaning more than anything so to be able to not create a mess is just the best reason.

2 - The undo button. I love that I can mess up and yet neither my photo nor the kit are ruined. That saves money and more importantly it save my sanity as I can try anything and not worry if in the end I dont like I just hit undo.

3. Saving memories - Because digi is so easy and there is no mess I find I can scrap more everyday things and not just the so called important events like birthdays and holidays.

Good luck with this.

Thank you so much!! I have finished my rough draft and I'm currently polishing it up...it's only about half of what the actual article/essay will be that I (hopefully) submit, and it will definitely not be in full glory, but I will share it with you when I've finished polishing it up for class. Also - if anyone has feedback on how to make the article better...believe me, I will WELCOME the suggestions. :)

I appreciate everyone's help with this. :)

This is a very much condensed version of the article/essay that I want to do. We had to stay within a very limited wordcount so I had to cut out some of what I was writing to make it fit the assignment we were given. However, here is what I'm turning in, at this point. Let me know what you think....if you have suggestions, please let me know...I've very open to suggestions Please keep in mind though that this is NOT the completed version. :)

Thank you again for all your help :)

To access the doc please click on the link below. I could not attach it here because even in the condensed version it was too big. (by like 6 kb *sigh*) lol Hope you enjoy :)
