In February, we shared 25 reasons to love digi and 25 reasons to be inspired. Let’s continue to spread the digi love throughout the year! Simple Scrapper wants to know why you love digital scrapbooking.

To start us off, here are some great reasons from the peanut gallery (aka Twitter):

  • @robinmbnm: 1. No mess! 2. All the pretty papers and elements make me happy. 3. Creating beautiful pages is fun!
  • @ScrapGirls: less mess and less clutter are one of the #1 reasons to #digiscrap – this blog post sums it up best: http://tinyurl.com/cm7z6p
  • @TigerTulipScrap: I do it mostly to relax plus learning something new everytime I use my program. It’s really a constant learning curve and it’s fun.
  • @kscwgirl: so many reasons! The undo button, recoloring, less mess, reusing of supplies.
  • @KristinCB: I love digiscrap for the fact that its SO convenient – all I need is my computer and I am ready to scrap :)
  • @shanknits: I like #digiscrap for the lack of clutter & the ability to make my photos the exact size I want them. Take that, Kodak!

I love digi scrapbooking because it allows me to preserve my digital photos and incorporate a theme for each photo or photos. I love photoshop and everyday I learn how to do something new. I now have an album of digiscrap designed photos for my 7 month old from birth to present day and I will keep going until he has his own kids. There is no end to digiscrapbooking! Loves it.

I have always loved scrapping but I adore Digital! I love the easy clean up and being able to take it with me so easily. There is so much out on the net to learn from others and to get inspiration from and the versatility is endless. I also love the warm community and generosity of so many fabulous designers. Thanks for the chance to win.

I love to digiscrap because it allows me to create in many different styles that I normally wouldn’t try with paper supplies.

I already tweeted! But here’s one more reason. I’m really not artistic, but digiscrapping let’s me pretend!

I love digi-scraping because it is so fulfilling to watch my children look at these works of art I do in their books and know how much I love them. Plus there is no mess for them to get into.

There are a couple of reasons why I love digi…

1- the “undo” button! I can’t live without it, and wish I had it IRL sometimes… lol.

2- mess free (enough said!)

3- instant shopping, you can buy supplies at any time day or night, and download imediatetly.

4- recolouring, I can recolour any element to meet my needs… you can’t always do that with traditional scrapbooking :-)

I love digital scrapping because it is not messy, I can scrap where ever I want to if I bring my PC, it is A LOT CHEAPER than traditional scrapping, and I have met sooooooooooooooo many wonderful people since I began my digital journey!

I love to digiscrap because I never find time to paper scrap, I can change things as much as I want, and there is never any clean up (unless you count deleting numerous unused freebies to find harddrive space to download more stuff)

I just learned how to digiscrap, and I love it because I can explore my creativity in so many ways. It’s also very relaxing. The best part about it is that you can reuse things, save money, and not have paper messes all over the place!

Because I wait until all the children are in bed, I can start a project quickly…and put it away simply by pressing “SAVE”… without worries about leaving supplies out that my little ones might get to and eat! LOL

I love digital because there’s no mess & there is more variety of products available compared to paper scrapping. Digital is also easier to purchase & store.

I love Digi Scrapping because it is a clean but fun way to perserve everyday moments and memories. With cameras going mainly Digital it just makes it much easier to scrap the same. There are so many possibilities in the Digital World!

I love digi because there is no mess to clean up. I hate dragging out all the paper supplies. It seems that took more time to do than I actually had to scrap. Plus, you can change the color of elements and papers so easy!

I love to scrapbook, but I don’t like the mess and the expense of purchasing all the little goodies. Digital scrapbooking allows you to accumulate a lot of supplies that can be used again and again. It also allows you to change around your layout until you are totally pleased with it!

I love digi because I can shop 27/4… if I can’t find it (rare)… I make it! I also love the ability to resize/color the elements!

I love digiscrapping because it allows you to use elements and papers over and over again. You so get your money’s worth this way!

Lots of reasons…mostly – no mess. I don’t have to clean up everything afterward.

Also, no special “cat help” or “supervision”.

Plus, sometimes it’s just so much fun to go around and look at all the pretties!
