momof2boys...I have done slide shows to music but I have no idea how to save them to disc. When I did, it didn't work right. Does he use a special program or am I just saving them wrong?

This would actually be a good way for me to do a BOM too, though...a BOM page is what I had in mind when I did this one.

That is actually a really good way to look at it. OMGoodness....there are just so many thing that I want....and so many things that I want to do now. It is like a messy room, I don't know where to start!!

Gosh, it also saves on having to print out digital photos....just keep it all on the computer...and print it out when you have it all done, like you said.

HUMMMMMMMMMM......what to do???

Oh, and just for the record, Stacey...hehe...dh only paid $10 for the software. I found it at a discount store and told him to come and get it right away and give it to me for Christmas!

There's not alot of stuff on it...but there's enough to begin with and then I can d/load free stuff on the net to add to it.

He uses Pinnacle video sofware for the video camera and for the digital.camera he either uses Roxio 8.5 or Nero 7 ultimate edition. He said its a lot of trial and error. Make sure to use a RW disc so that you can edit if need be.

What software do you ladies recommend to start digi scrapping with? This is something that I think I would love.

I use Photo Shop Elements and really love the program. This is one of the main programs used for digital scrapbooking so most of the kits you can download from digi scrap sites will work with this program.

PSE is not specifically a scrapbooking program. However, there are scrapbooking programs that you can buy. I've seen them from Hallmark, Simple Scrapbooks, Memory Makers, Top Line Creations, and the list goes on. Some of these programs have kits you can add and some don't.

If you really want to get into it, just google digital scrapbooking programs and do a little research. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

I saw this on QVC, and I really thought about buying it. I'm more a computer person, I can't even draw a straight line, but was thinking about purchasing it.

What is the cost involved.

What a cute page! Very good
