Going digital...from a tried and true paper scrapper

I am a tried and true paper scrapbooker...anyone who comes into my home, see's framed pages on the walls, pages on top of my computer desk, albums in my bookcases, or cards given to them made by me.  I love easy projects, things that don't take me a long time to finish up!  
One thing I also don't do is a lot of small projects like the fine swirls and flowers in this layout.  We found out my hands have arthritis in them, so the small intricate things, such as the swirls don't happen with me anymore...  I love the look of this, but just can't "do it" myself.  I sure can't spend money on purchasing premade transparencies....I just don't have the extra money right now... 
I found digital scrapbooking just about a year or so ago, and if I had a digital camera, would probably spend more time doing digital layouts.  I am starting to work on a project  of my grandmothers recipes...truly a work of the heart!  I am using Serif Digital Scrapbook Artist 2 software and their free kits they have available.  I have not spent money on their kits as of yet, but plan on picking a few up soon! 
If you check back on this page, I have a product review for the digital software I use.  I totally love this software, very easy to use, and they have free kits that are available to download and use, without having to purchase a lot of extra stuff.  The kits can be interchanged as you might find things from each kit that you could use to go with the photo you have selected!  
Scrapbooking digitally is the same concept - just using your computer, instead of paper, scissors, stickers and glue!  I love both concepts - each for different reasons!  I hope if you paper scrapbook, you try to digital scrapbook and if you do digital - try a paper project!  Have fun with this, or at least try to...you might decide one or the other is perfect for you!  I love both...
