We have all collected a lot of information, documents, and photos on our computers over the years. What would happen if your computer was to crash? Or if your drive becomes unreadable?

There are many ways to approach
the printing process of your digital layouts.
For many digital scrapbookers, this is not even a question. Whether they are paper scrapbookers converted to digital, or digital scrapbookers from the start, many fans will find various ways to get their layouts printed.

Or I should say, the single answer is “it depends on you”.
Scrapbooking has been around for many years now, in one form or another. People will create scrapbook layouts for several reasons, for themselves or their families.
