Wacom pen tablets make digital scrapbooking easy and fun!
Imagine sharing your new scrapbook of your grandson’s first steps not only to people who visit your home, but to friends and family around the world. That is the promise of the digital revolution starting with photography and now digital scrapbooking.
Your computer gives you a wealth of possibilities to expand your scrapbooking activities including how you make scrapbook pages and how you share them with others. From retouching and manipulating your photographs and items scanned into your PC, to creating textures and decorative items, Wacom’s pen tablet including Bamboo Fun small and medium sizes offer the perfect tool to make creating your scrapbooks easy and fun.
How does using a pen tablet make digital scrapbooking possible?
The pen tablet takes your mouse to a whole new level of control and speed. Now you can edit your photographs with the speed of a pro photographer. Using a pen to control your PC allows you to write and draw much more easily than with a mouse. Plus, you get the added benefit of natural arm position, reducing the chance repetitive stress injuries. Here are just a few of the things that using a pen tablet makes possible:
Need to take out red eye?
Just color it over with a paint brush in a photo editing software package such as Adobe Photoshop Elements. Because you handle the pen as you would any other pen or brush, editing out red eye, skin blemishes, etc. is as easy as coloring with a crayon.
Want to add a speech bubble or a handwritten message?
Just draw it onto the photo inside your photo editing software. Using a mouse to do it would be like writing “with a bar of soap” as one long-time Wacom user puts it. Natural looking handwriting on a PC can only be achieved with a pen tablet of the quality and technical sophistication that Wacom offers.
Create textures and other decorations!
A pen tablet gives new meaning to the term “handmade”. Instead of buying pre-designed paper textures and cutting and pasting, you can make your own! Share them with other digital scrapbookers in your community, or post them on worldwide internet forums for digital scrapbooking. Creativity is to be shared!

Hi Cijaye,
Love the work you are doing with your site. I am in the states and have the same template that you have,,but am having major problems trying to get my featured content gallery to work…if you could find it in your heart to email me..I would appreciate it. Or if you could refer me to any other sites that you may have used to get tutorials on how to get the site functional..as yours is,,that would be great.
Thanks
I love the bamboo for scrapbooking. it’s excellent for journaling once you get used to it. i am just getting used to it myself but i do love it. i think every digital scrapbooker should get one if they can afford it.
p.s the fact that it comes with photoshop elements, coreldraw and the like makes the cost unquestionably worth it. great buy ladies.
