What Is an Instant Album
Instant albums are collections of quick pages that are co-ordinated to give a scrapbook album a unified theme. They are a wonderful time saver and an ideal addition to computer scrapbooking colections.
Quick pages are scrapbook layouts that are completely finished except for the pictures, journal and titles. All the design work is done including the layout , papers and embellishments. These albums are very useful for the beginner to computer scrapbooking as well as for those that do not have much time but want to preserve their families memories in a professional and beautiful way.
Vacation, birthday and holiday memories are just some examples of pictures that are perfect for instant albums.The Quick pages can be used over and over. Adding different pictures, embellishments and journaling completely changes the look. It is possible to complete many albums in an afternoon with one or two instant album packages.
How To Use an Instant Album
All instant album quick pages form Digi Scrappers Corner are in PNG format. Photo editing software that supports PNG and layers is necessary to add your pictures to the quick page. Photo Shop Elements or Photoshop are examples of software that the instant album will work with but there are many others.
To use, open the quick page in photo editing software. Drag the photos to be used on the layout underneath the quick page layer. Position each photo in a picture opening and re size or crop as necessary.
Sometimes there will be a spot meant for a journal on the quick page. If this is the case, add text above the quick page layer. Position the text in the journal area.
If no specific area for a journal has been provided, a journal can be added by placing text above the quick page layer and positioning where desired. Text could also be added to a tag and dragged on the layout and placed above the quick page layer.
Add a title and other elements if desired. Layer titles and embellishments above the quick page layer.
That’s it! The first page of the album is finished. Repeat for additional pages, print and show of your album! This is truly computer scrapbooking at its best!

Instead of pasting things onto the page, you line up different clipart along with a jpeg or gif of your photo, and then you can print it.

I really love the look of overlays however I am not sure how they work. I have downloaded various nice overlays from the freebies section for my own personal use and I can never seem to incorperate them onto my layout. What happens is whenever I move the layout on to my background it either turns completely black or white with black pixles around the lettering and is not transparent. I've tried everything I know how to figure it out and am still not getting anywhere. By the way I am using the old Photoshop 5.0.
I don't think Photoshop 5.0 supports transparent .png files, which would explain why they're not showing up correctly. You can try a newer program. It doesn't even have to be the full-blown version of Photoshop. Photoshop Elements, Microsoft Digital Image Pro and Corel Paint Shop Pro are among the programs that support the kind of transparent .png files that are typically used by the major digital scrapbook kit designers to make overlays.

my printer can directly hook up to my camera memory stick and print out the pictures but i dont want to waste ink, considering i have a LOT of pictures to scrapbook. Is there somewhere i can get digital camera pictures printed out for a very cheap price?
also, how much would it cost to start and buy ALL the starting materials to scrapbook. WHat do i need?
it is probably cheaper in the long run to have them printed then having to buy in cartridges for you printer…..
I would think that just about any place that develops pictures can make pictures from you memory stick or a CD….
I would suggest that you use your computer and go through the pictures and pick the ones you want printed….
if you have a Costco membership they are pretty reasonable for prints… I am sure that wal-mart would be pretty low in cost too….

i am very new to both. I was hoping someone could help me out with a technique. I have a patterened paper that I would like to be shown inside my text insead of just a solid font color. How do I go about doing that? Thanks!
Open your pattern in PSP (you can minimize this or just leave it) now get your new canvas ready. Click on your font tool and choose your font, size and choose your colour for your foreground/stroke that will be your outline. Now for your background/fill colour (which is inside) click on the box to your background/fill properties so a dialogue box appears and now click on the patten tab and then click on the arrow for the drop down box and your pattern will be in there so click on it and then press ok.
Now click on your new canvas to add your text and away you go.
Hope this helps =)

i just started doing my scrapbooking on the computer and i usually do 12+12 sheets but my printer doesn't print pages that big any ideas?
If I understand you correctly, your pages are 12" x 12" in size. If that is so, there is only one consumer printer that will print 12 x 12 borderless prints, and that is the Epson R1800. It is not an inexpensive printer, as the suggested price is $549 http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/consumer/consDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&oid=53540919. I did a Google search and I couldn't find it cheaper, it is a new printer that was just released by Epson, so it may take 6 months for the price to drop. BYW - it takes 8 ink cartridges.

my question is if you buy the c d for scrap booking where do you go to get your finished 12×12 pages at. i don't want to put them on the internet, just in a personal album
If you already have a program, Costco prints them in an hour.
Creative Memories has an amazing program called Storybook Creator Plus. www.creativememories.com You can either have your 12×12 (or 8.5×11 or 8×8) pages printed for you in a hard bound book, or save the pages and have them printed individually. You can print them at www.cmphotocenter.com, they have reduced rates per page the more you order, or if you are near a Costco, you can have them printed there in an hour. There are great tutorials on using the software at www.creativememories.com under Shop Products/digital scrapbooking/online training/ then there are 3 amazing free webinars on Storybook Creator Plus called "Getting Started with SB+," "Beyond the Basics with SB+" and "Advanced Techniques with SB+."
