 You don't need to be a professional to beautifully display your photos. It is easier than ever to create stunning showcases of your digital photos. In fact, digital photography and digital scrapbooking compliment each other perfectly. 

 Sure, professional photographs are amazing and can hardly be replicated by most amateurs, but even those with the least amount of photographic experience can have displays others will ooh and aah over. 

 I'm sure, if you're anything like me, a lot of my everyday photos are taken with my cell phone. These too can be used to create picture perfect scrapbook pages. Take a look at these pages, created using photos I took with the camera on my phone.

Another method for capturing those photo memories is to use a digital camera. The photos you take using this tool can also be used to fill in frames and spaces on your digital pages. Take a peek at this page I created using photos I took with my camera (which is nothing special, but works just fine for me).

 However you take your photos, there will always be an scrapbook embellishment for you to use for decoration. The possibilities are literally endless - I'd love to see my old math teacher figure the exact combination amount out for this one =) 

 Not sure where to start? Just take some photos, upload them to your computer, get some png elements, and head on over to PicMonkey to create layouts displayed at 72 dpi - perfect for computer display. 

OR 

If you want to print your creations at anytime, you will need to create them at 300 dpi/ppi quality. This can be done in a program such as Gimp (which is free to use), Photoshop, etc. 

 My pages are sized at 12x12, but you can get even more creative and make half sized pages or card sized pages as well.

Now that you know what to do with all those digital files, treat yourself with a s'more :)
