1. Scour eBay for store closing sales: Several local scrapbook stores have recently closed in my area. I happen to think much of it is due to the high price tags in specialty stores--the best prices are at large craft stores like Michael's or Hobby Lobby. Owners are eager to squeeze whatever they can out of inventory and they are in a hurry to do so. Buying closeout merchandise is a great way to save on the same products you'd find full price elsewhere.
2. Make your own stickers: This is a relatively new thing and I love it! No more worries about running out of the letter "e" or buying prices adhesive graphics for just one or two images. Instead buy sticker paper at an office supply store, in matte or glossy, and find your own graphics online. You can create headings for pages and even print your own pictures in any size you choose.

I have always been reluctant about committing the things in my life to exist on the servers of some web service. The biggest part of it I will readily admit is the generation I come from. A generation that believes in accumulating ‘stuff’. Stuff that for the most part is just physical mementos of events that have taken place in our lives. We stick them away in photo albums, scrapbooks and buried in drawers to be pulled out on the rare occasion we want to take a trip down memory lane.
Then there is just the plain old junk that human beings seem to love to accumulate around themselves. Scraps of paper with long forgotten addresses, date books from years gone by and many other types of miscellaneous crap. Much of it we have long forgotten why we kept it in the first place but even though the tugs on our memories are gone we still hold onto them.
But what happens should – god forbid – a disaster happen?
Instead of memories that we can pull out and share we have fragments of smoke seared photographs. All those cards that we held so dear have been destroyed beyond any recognition. Baby pictures, wedding pictures, photos of family gatherings, our children’s first drawing, their first report cards – all destroyed.
At what point does a cranky old fart’s desire to be able to hold physical things transform to understanding that any reluctance to transform those things into digital form is actually endangering the live of those memories. There comes a point where one has to realize that as much as we may have a feeling of trepidation at moving those memories to a digital format, we also have to realize that is the one way to keep those memories safe.
I hadn’t really thought about this idea of digitizing one’s life as being a way to keep it safe until I read a post on Computerworld by Mike Elgan where he shared his move to committing his family’s memories to a digital format. While Mike was chronicling his digitizing of his family’ memories because of his desire to move to more of a semi-nomadic life he also touched on the loss of those physical representation of memories.

When it comes to deciding whether to keep or discard something, where do you draw the line? Old holiday and birthday cards? OK, those can be discarded. Mother’s day cards from kids? Hmmm. Trophies? Yikes! There are a million items that make you feel a loss when you toss, but if you keep them, they’ll be buried unseen for decades.
It’s these same items that are irreplaceable after an unexpected fire, flood, hurricane or other regional or personal disaster.

I might not being going down the same path or have the same reason that Mike did but the end point is the same – protecting those valuable memories. Protecting them in case some disaster hits and those memories only exist in a tired old brain. Mike gives a great breakdown of how best to go about digitizing your memories and I thank him for that.
How safe are your memories? Would they survive a fire or make it through unscathed from a flood?

Philippe Kahn's history of entrepreneurship is nearly as old as the PC itself. He developed software for the Micral N, one of the earliest commercial personal computers, back in 1973. As CEO of Borland Software Corp. (BORL), he touted himself the "barbarian" of the software industry and embraced that identity by holding one of the first press conferences for his company in a McDonald's restaurant in Las Vegas during Comdex. Ousted from Borland in 1995, Kahn went on to found wireless synchronization outfit Starfish Software, which he sold to Motorola Inc. (MOT). He followed that up with LightSurf Technologies, a picture- messaging company acquired by Verisign Inc. (VRSN) in 2005. Today Philippe Kahn is CEO of Fullpower, a company developing accelerometer-based hardware and software.
Walt and Kara welcome Kahn to the stage.
- Fullpower, says Kahn, has developed the MotionX Recognition Engine, a technology intended to do for motion and gesture what speech recognition did for speech. "We've created a system that studies how you move as opposed to reacting to it."
- The first demo involves a headset with on-board motion sensing. "Basically what we've done is build a motion-sensing headset," says Kahn. The headset will differentiate between the sources of motion of its user - if the user is walking, or running for example.
- Kahn calls a colleague wearing the headset onstage. Colleague begins walking and then running around the stage. The headset tracks the users speed and distance and the user can tap it for spoken updates about his or her progress.

Scrapbooking enthusiasts are notorious for collecting the tools of the trade — colored paper, stencils, stickers, glitter — then failing to put them to use.

"Now, not only are they overwhelmed with their pictures, they are overwhelmed with stuff. They're overwhelmed by the whole hobby," said Paula Wessells, the Vancouver-based CEO of Big Picture Scrapbooking, "What really sets us apart is that we are about the process. We're not about the end product."

That business strategy of helping people connect with what's meaningful in their lives, along with classes priced as low as $10, has enabled Big Picture Scrapbooking to thrive, even in the economic downturn.

The privately held company does not disclose financial information. But Wessells said other than a dip in sales in February, the company's revenue has held steady.

Big Picture Scrapbooking, founded in 2005, was first to offer online classes. Now 31,000 students download classes.

Wessells first met company founder Stacy Julian, a Spokane resident, at a Portland scrapbooking store. She was founding editor of Simple Scrapbooks magazine.

"A year later, she called with a wild business idea," Wessells said. "She wanted to spread her passion for documenting life."

Julian had already been teaching live, in-person classes, which gave the students 90 minutes of inspiration.

"We had to come up with a way — a new delivery method — to continually inspire women," Wessells said. The Web provided that new method.

Julian is the business' creative force. A third partner, Kayce Rehn, also of Spokane, keeps the Web site running smoothly. That's leaves Wessells to handle the business side from her office in the Vancouver home she shares with her husband and three miniature dachshunds.

In addition, the company employs four people — all stay-at-home moms, Wessells said. The company's 58 contract teachers are scattered around the country.

Personal goals
Big Picture Scrapbooking classes include "Wellness Journey," an eight-week course to create a scrapbook to help people achieve personal health goals, and "Everyone Can Write A Little," which incorporates Twitter and Facebook entries.

Wessells, 40, said she has always relished scrapbooking. Before the hobby became her business, the 1987 graduate of Mountain View High School worked for marketing and events agencies in Portland.

Although digital scrapbooking is a trend the company is heeding by securing a partnership with Shutterfly, most classes focus on traditional methods involving photos, not digital files.

Wessells said that's her preference for her own scrapbooks.

"I spend 10 hours a day on the computer. The last thing I want to do is go online," she said.

But the business is very much entwined with the online world, and plans to push that further.

"We're going real deep into social media," Wessells said.

Before, the company worried class content might end up scattering across the Web for free, but now the partners feel confident the class experience cannot be replicated. Big Picture Scrapbooking is working on creating an online community among the students, who are 90 percent female; 83 percent are from the United States, with the rest from more than 161 other countries.

"The women — and men — who scrapbook really want community and social networking," Wessells said. "Everything that's happening in your life, someone across the pond is experiencing the same thing."

Overall, there are many methods of scrapbooking that a person can utilize to document their memories. Each depends upon how creative or organized the scrapbook maker wants to be. It really doesn’t matter if you are creative or ‘artsy’, anyone can create a scrapbook of memories. Each scrapbook is reflective of the personality of the person who created it.

1. Standard Scrapbooking – Creating pages and placing them in a scrapbook album with page protectors. Scrapbooks used to only come in two sizes 8x10 and 12x12. Check out your local scrapbook store to see the many different sizes of scrapbooks available now.

2. Book-making Scrapbooking – Using a binding system, creating covers and pages with cardboard and embellishing the pages with paper, ribbons, stickers, pictures and other keepsakes. The binding can be done using a three ring binder, binding rings, ribbons, brackets, staples or spiral binders. Really the options for binding are only limited by the creativity of the scrapbooker.

3. Digital Scrapbooking – Creating pages online using digital images and software rather than purchasing individual embellishments. Many people use these to create pages to upload to their blogs or to print and place in a book. Many software packages are also compatible with online websites like Shutterfly.com and Snapfish.com and allow you to upload your pages and create a printed book of your creations.

4. Creating Picture Books Online – There are many different websites that allow you to use their templates to create a picture book of memories. You upload your pictures to their website, paste them into the prepared templates available based on the number of pictures you would like on the page and then add text to your page to personalize. There are many different photo and self-publishing websites available that offer this service.

5. Blogging or Scrapblogging – There are many people who utilize web logs to maintain a journal or to document the happenings of their family. These blogs are highly personalized. Starting out you can use a standardized template, but once you are comfortable with the services provided, you can upload your own creation to make your blog more personal.

6. Creating presentations – Using presentation software to create personal presentations on the computer is very easy. You can use templates included with the software or go online and find more individualized templates for creating presentations. The nice thing about using presentation software is you can add videos, and you can add sound and transitions between your pages. You can even automate a presentation to scroll through the entire presentation ‘hands-free’ once the file is accessed. When choosing a presentation software, be sure to choose one that creates presentations that don’t require those viewing to necessarily own the software you used to create it.

7. Picture slide shows – There are websites online that allow you upload your pictures and organize them into slide shows. Many of these sites provide the service free of charge and provide links so that you can post your slide shows to your blog or even to post them on social networking websites.

Digital scrapbooking, or computer scrapbooking, is the newest way to preserve your family memories. Using inexpensive, easy-to-use scrap book software, you can create entire scrapbook layouts and add fun fonts and graphics to take your scrapbook project to a new creative level. Some software packages like Corel Photo Album 6 Deluxe even come with free scrapbooking templates.
Computer scrapbooking has really taken off in the last year because people are finding it is less expensive, fast and takes up less space (no more taking over the family dining table) to make a computer generated scrapbook versus traditional scrapbooking techniques. Most people already have a computer and digital camera, and once you have a digital scrapbooking graphics software package such as Scrapbook Factory Deluxe and ACDSee Photo Editor and Manager. and perhaps invested in a scanner for older photos, you're ready to go.

In my opinions, best digital scrapbooking software should at least include following characters:

She gave birth to you. She makes sure you're fed, clean and prepared for the day. She finds your keys and reminds you of appointments. It's time to get your mom a gift (by Sunday, Mother's Day, preferably).

Since the best gifts are thoughtful ones, here are a few ideas (and they're less than $25).

Take her out
Several local attractions are honoring Mother's Day with special deals.

Miss Hampton II harbor cruise. Moms cruise for free with the purchase of another adult ticket at 10 a.m. or 2 p.m. Sunday. The cruise departs from downtown Hampton and includes a tour of the Chesapeake Bay, a stop at Fort Wool and a review of the warships at Norfolk Naval Base. Adult tickets are $22.50. Reservations are suggested, call 722-9102.

"Blues Clues." The Hurrah Players will perform a play based on the popular Nickelodeon show. Mothers can attend the show for free with a paid companion. Performances are at 7 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday at Nauticus in Norfolk. Tickets are $10 for children and $17 for adults for the theater performance. 627-5437.

Nauticus. Mothers can get free admission to the museum with the purchase of a child's ticket ($8.50). Waterside Drive, Norfolk. 664-1000.

"Romeo and Juliet, On Motifs of Shakespeare." You can get one ticket free with the purchase of another ticket to the Mother's Day performance. The ballet is based on Shakespeare's classic love story, but this version ends happily. Tickets for the 2:30 p.m. Sunday performance are $20-$75. To get the discount, use the password "mother" at the Virginia Arts Festival box office at MacArthur Mall, when calling 800-982-ARTS or on the vafest.org Web site.

Make it personal
Pictures are a universal treasure. Organize a personal keepsake based on your family's photos. With software programs, Web sites and in-store options, there are many ways to personalize and upgrade a photo book.

Recordable album. The 15-page scrapbook-style book has pre-designed pages that allow picture additions and handwritten tributes. You also can record a message that will play on the book's cover. ($18, Hallmark).

Digital scrapbook pages. Start a scrapbook for your mom without the glue or scissors. The Web site howfasttheygrow.com allows you to design 12-by-12 scrapbook pages on the computer. The site is free to use, although it costs $5.50 to have each page printed on card stock paper.

Shipping is an additional fee.

Framed keepsake. Michelle Stepp, blogger at Everydaycelebrating.com, framed one of her son's onesies as a reminder to savor every moment. A similar method can be used to create a keepsake of other cherished items, such as a baby's first hat or blanket.

For the techie mom
Here's a 21st-century take on a chore coupon. The Web site wuduplz.com ("would you please") allows parents to text message requests to their children from the computer. Although parents can type in their own messages, there are also stock messages that parents can select and schedule to send at a certain time.

Most of those stock messages are housework related. For example, parents can send messages that say "wuduplz wash the dishes" or "wuduplz clean your room."

For Mother's Day, kids can register their mom and offer a free "no whining" click on each chore message. There is no charge to use the Web site.

Oldies but goodies
Breakfast in bed always does the trick. Here's a recipe for a special twist on french toast.

Strawberry French Toast
4 (11/2-inch) thick slices of bread. The recipe suggests King's Hawaiian Bread.

2 cups sliced strawberries

4 large eggs

1/2 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 cup sugar, optional

1 tablespoon orange zest, optional

Butter or vegetable oil for frying

Powdered sugar, for garnish

Maple syrup, for garnish

Cut each slice into approximately 3-inch wide pieces. Using serrated knife, cut a pocket in edge of each slice and fill with strawberries, or another fruit of your choice.

Combine eggs, milk, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, and if desired, sugar and orange zest. Heat griddle over medium heat. Grease with butter or oil. Quickly dip (do not soak) slices in egg mixture.

Cook until golden brown on both sides. Keep egg mixture well blended.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar and top with additional strawberry slices. Serve immediately with warm syrup. Makes 4 servings.

Several different programs for scrapbooking with your computer are available. When deciding what is the best digital scrapbooking software for your needs, there are a number of factors to consider.

• Do you like to edit your images before adding them to your layouts? For example, do you do a lot of cropping or converting photos into black and white?
• Are you interested in special effects, such as filters to add a "dreamy" glow to your pictures?
• Do you want a program that includes templates, graphics, and fonts or would you prefer to find these items on your own?
• How much time are you willing to invest in learning new software? Do you have the patience to read long tutorials or would you prefer something that lets you create pages right out of the box?
• What is your budget for digital scrapbooking? Are you looking to start as cheaply as possible or do you have money to spend on the latest software and technology?

• Ease of Use – Digital scrapbooking software features and tools should be easy to find and operate, and digital scrapbooking software should be simple for both scrapbook novices and computer novices to use and understand.
• Variety of Scrapbooking Images – Top digital scrapbooking software packages offer a wide variety of pre–made scrapbook page templates and a huge selection of fonts, frames and clip art to embellish any scrapbook project. Digital scrapbooking software should also offer additional clip-art, themes and templates. The digital scrapbooking software should also include enough variety for you to create your own scrapbook page layouts easily.
• Import Scrapbooking Graphics – Digital scrapbooking software should allow you to import digital photos, images from a scanner and other media such as digital video, music and sound, and others. Importing tools in scrapbooking software must be intuitive or your scrapbooking experience will be far less enjoyable.

I was searching for interesting DigiScrap software to review and I saw that one of the pages in ASk.com had the word "hacked" on it. Sure enough when I visited it, the word "hacked" as displayed in the DigitalScrapbookDesign.com website.

Well just goes to show how important strong security testing and software is needed if you want to survive the digital safari. :)

Funny that a "hack" is sometimes what you can call a digiscrapbook. The best kind of artful hack there is.
