Im just curious what program you use to scrap with? I use PSP XI but I started out with Photo Explosion Deluxe then went to Scrapbook Factory Deluxe. Neither of them offered all the options I needed/wanted and Scrapbook Factory really slowed my computer way down.
 
I use pse 5.. I had to downgrade from ps cs cause my computer couldn't hack illustrator + photoshop anymore.. and I needed illustrator more :p LOL
 
I started with PSE (the very original, lol), moved to PSE2, then PSE3, then PSCS, then CS2. :) I'm not going to upgrade until I get my Mac...then I'll have to get CS4 or CS5, depending on what is out when I get it, lol!
 
I use PSP 9....:) Would love to switch over to CS4, but don't think my wallet could handle it right now....One day....LOL

Even though I do have PSE6 loaded on Dh's laptop. I am still scrapping with (and loving) my PSE3 that I bought way back in 2003/2004 before I even knew what Digiatl Scrapbooking was!!! :D :D
 
I have PS CS3, I had CS2 and PS 7 before that. I use it for work, so I use it for scrapping! I won't be upgrading to CS4, I'm going to wait now, until CS5 comes out.
 
I started with PSP5, went through PSP 6, 7, 8, 9 and X also used Photoimpact 9 and 10, PS7, CS, CS2, CS3 and am now on CS4.
 
I started with Scrapbook Factory Deluxe 3.0...that was before I knew that there was any such thing as online digi communities!
Now I use PSE 5.0 (on laptop), PSE 7.0 (desktop), and I also have CS3 (laptop), but I rarely use it...I don't like not having the photo bin at the bottom!
 
Well when I first started digi scrapping, I used PSE4. Then I upgraded to PSE5 and used that until I started designing. Now I use CS4 and wouldn't trade it for anything. I scrap and design with it. Love it!
 
PSP X2. I have PS CS3 too b/c the "text in a path" function (PSP just don't get this thing right), but I feel like cheating PSP when I try to make a page on PS and I take double of time to do it. So PSP always win LOL
 
I've been using CS2 since I started. Eventually, I'll upgrade to the latest and greatest PS software, but not this year.
 
I use Memory Mixer 3. Artistic design is not my gift. I decided that telling the stories and concentrating on the photos was my goal. Memory Mixer helps me to do that easily and quickly. And version 3 makes it even easier to use all of my wonderful purchases from the Sweet Shoppe. For the most part I can do everything I want. I only wish I could use some of the templates that the designers create here. That would make things even easier.

It also looks like with this latest version of Memory Mixer that I can add videos to my scrapbook that will now play automatically. That is what sold me on the software in the first place even though it never really worked as I wanted in earlier versions (but the promise of the possibility got me hooked). I've played around a little with adding the video to version 3 and it is automatically playing on my computer (in earlier versions I would have to click on a "hot spot" but that was no good because I wanted to give copies of the memories to my mom who does not use computers).

For years I have taken video at the amusement park when the kids were on the kiddie rides, my grandma doing the chicken dance at my sister's wedding, etc. I will have to convert the film video to digital but then it looks like I can add it right to the scrapbook. It's worked great with the video that I have from my digital camera.

It really is powerful software designed for the beginning user.
 
I started on PSE4, then when my new computer didn't like it (my new computer has Vista...and it messed up PSE4 all the time), I bought PSE6. I hated it...with a passion! So, I upgraded to CS4, and I'm loving it once I figured a few things out!!
 
I started with PSP v5!!!! I used PSP up through PSPX (all while using PS7 for brushes and such) then had a chance to upgrade to CS2 for $200. I did that and basically never turned back. I'm now running CS4 on my laptop and CS2 on my desktop.
 
I've been using PSP 8. I just got PSE 6 a few days ago. I'm going through some tutorials now trying to learn how to use it.
 
I started out with PSE 4, then went to 5, and now I'm on 7 and really find it easy to use! But......I sense an upgrade in my future to CS5 sometime after it comes out......(I think I'm ready, I think I'm ready.....) :)
 
I started in PSP. Meg forced me to switch to CS 2 and for NO amount of money would I go back to PSP. I ADORE CS2.
 
I started using GIMP and hated it! Took forever to make a page. So I bought PSE 5 and have been using it ever since. Maybe I'll upgrade but any time soon!
 
I stared out using memory mixer... and now am a PE5 girl here... wish I could afford CS4.... well, I probably could if I didn't buy so many kits... LOL!
 
I use Photo Impact X3. I started with 8, went to 10, and upgraded to X3 when I got Vista. I've done trials of PSE since it seems like everyone else scraps with PSE or PS, but I just don't like it as much as PI. I've never tried regular PS since it's out of my price range.
 
I started on PS7, but couldn't get the hang of it. I got myself PSE3 and used that until last year when DH bought my PSE6. I really like it, and have no reason (besides wanting to do custom text paths & blocks) to switch to CS... too expensive, and I can't justify it!
 
I use CS3 and CS4. I've got Cs4 installed on the desktop, but my laptop is struggeling with CS3 so I guess there is no hope with CS4, I haven't even bothered trying to upgrade it.
 
I started with PSE3 and moved up to PSE 7. Can't imagine using anything else. I don't have the patience to learn something new - I'm still learning new things in PSE 7.
