Not so sure about this information. I was always taught differently, but hey! It’s nice people have different opinions and methods isn’t it?

That’s so funny… I will definitely tell her!! She’ll totally get a kick out of that for sure… her little face will be beaming! :o)

Hey Kylie – you need to tell Sophie that MY favorite color is “orangieyellow” and my favorite number is 8, too! :)

My daughter started digital scrapbooking about 2 years ago when she was 5. I had her sit on my lap in the beginning. I would have her pick out the pictures she wanted to use and then have her pick out a template that had that many picture spots. I also limited her to one kit. I also read somewhere a while ago about teaching them one new technique each time, such as clipping to the template or resizing items, etc. That seems to work and the last few times I have helped her get started and then I have been able to walk away. I usually go back later and apply shadows as I haven’t shown her that. I really have to RESIST the urge to “fix” things (which don’t appeal to my aesthetics) when she is done! LOL! She has recently been bugging me about paper scrapbooking because her girlfriend does that and that just makes me cringe because I’m not a paper scrapbooker! I’m sure I will let her do it sometime!

I thought of this post as my 5 year old daughter asked if she could make a scrapbook for her cousin’s birthday yesterday! I asked if she wanted to it traditionally or digital and she picked digital and is just having a ball being able to use the laptop! I’m using some easy fill in templates and only help with the typing of the title or journal (and I type exactly what she says, so that makes for some real funny journaling) she’s in charge of the rest! Cannot wait to see the final book!

Wanting to spend quality time with my daughter this summer has put my scrapping on hold, I never thought about putting the two together. Thanks for the inspiration.

I love this Kylie!! My 6 yr old has actually scrapped before, too – this inspires me to get her back on there again! She had a wonderful time doing it. Printing out some hybrid pieces is a great idea! Maybe we can do this over the weekend while we’re hiding indoors from the HEAT! :)
