There are many different ways you can design your digital scrapbook pages. In this article well discuss creating digital scrapbook pages for a specific event such as going to the zoo.

How to design digital scrapbook pages step #1: Narrow down your pictures Lets say you went to the zoo with your children and took 50 pictures. Youre not going to use all the pictures, so the first step is picking out your favorite ones and getting rid of the mess ups.

How to design digital scrapbook pages step #2: Sort your pictures Once youve narrowed down your photo selection, start sorting the pictures according to some sort of similarity. Since were using the example of a trip to the zoo, you could sort the pictures according to either who or what animal is in the pictures.

How to design digital scrapbook pages step #3: Decide on the number of pages Once youve sorted the pictures, itll be much quicker and easier to decide on the number of pages youll be creating. I like using an average of 3 pictures per page. Some will have more, and some will have less, but 3 is a good starting point.

How to design digital scrapbook pages step #4: Figure out your layouts Once you know the number of pages, and which pictures youre going to use, you can start creating your layouts based on the pictures in each group. I like having a couple pages with 1 main picture, leading to pages with 5 or 6 pictures. And once you know how many pictures will be on a page, its much easier to create a layout.

How to design digital scrapbook pages step #5: Adding your embellishments Once you have your pictures laid out, you can go back through and add your embellishments. This is one of the main reasons I like digital scrapbooking so much. Its so easy to customize your embellishments to fit around your pictures. Just remember not to overload your pages with embellishments. The more pictures you have on a page, the fewer embellishments you should use.

And that is a quick and easy way of designing digital scrapbook pages for a trip to the zoo.
