Why create a digital scrapbook
Creating a digital scrapbook is an innovative and modern way to preserve your memories. Digital scrapbooking allows you to create beautiful and personalized photo albums that can be shared and accessed easily from any device. With the help of technological advancements, you can now create a scrapbook on your tablet or computer without the hassle of cutting, gluing, and storing tons of paper materials.
Moreover, digital scrapbooking offers a wide range of creative possibilities that traditional scrapbooking simply cannot match. You can use various digital papers, stickers, and elements to design unique pages that suit your preferences bringing your memories to life and making them more engaging.
Another benefit of digital scrapbooking is that it allows you to easily edit and customize your pages. You can reposition, resize, crop your pictures conveniently, and undo or redo your actions without damaging your materials. This makes it easier to experiment with different designs and layouts until you find the one you like.
Overall, digital scrapbooking is a fun, creative, and practical way to keep your memories alive, share them with your family and friends, and showcase your creativity and skills. With the right tools and techniques, you can create a digital scrapbook that will be a treasure for years to come.

Choosing a digital scrapbook template
When it comes to creating a digital scrapbook baby photo album with GoodNotes, you have two options: You can either create your own template from scratch or choose a pre-made template that suits your needs. Check out our digital baby scrapbook below for pre-made templates.
If you’re new to digital scrapbooking, it’s recommended that you choose a pre-made template to get started.
GoodNotes offers a wide range of pre-made digital scrapbook templates that are specifically designed for baby photo albums. You can choose from a variety of layouts, themes, and designs to create a beautiful and unique album for your baby.
When choosing a template, consider the number of pages you need for your album and the types of pages you want to include. For example, you may want to include pages for milestones, firsts, and special moments. You can also choose templates that include space for journaling or captions.
Take some time to browse through the available templates and select one that matches your style and vision for your baby photo album. Once you have selected a template, you can customize it with your photos, text, and decorations to make it truly unique and special.
Collecting and organizing baby photos
Collecting and organizing baby photos is an important step in creating a digital scrapbook baby photo album with GoodNotes. One of the best ways to do so is to start by creating a folder on your computer or in the cloud where you can store all of your baby’s photos. This folder can be broken down into subfolders by date or by specific events such as “first bath,” “first steps,” or “first birthday.” This will make it easier to locate the photos you need when you’re ready to create your digital scrapbook.
Once you have your photos organized, it’s important to choose the ones you want to use in your digital scrapbook. While it’s tempting to include every single photo you have of your baby, it’s better to be selective and choose only the best photos that capture the most precious moments.
When selecting photos, it’s also a good idea to choose a variety of different shots, such as close-ups, full-body shots, and candid moments. This will help to add depth and interest to your digital scrapbook and make it more enjoyable to look back on.
After you have your photos selected, it’s time to start organizing them in GoodNotes. You can create a separate notebook for each event or date, and then insert your photos onto each page. GoodNotes makes it easy to resize and move your photos around, so don’t be afraid to experiment with different layouts and designs.
Overall, collecting and organizing baby photos is a fun and important part of creating a digital scrapbook baby photo album with GoodNotes. By taking the time to curate your photos and organize them in a meaningful way, you’ll be able to create a beautiful keepsake that you and your family will treasure for years to come.
Adding frames, stickers, and notes to your digital scrapbook
Add frames, digital stickers, and notes to decorate your baby photo album. You can import your own stickers or use free sticker packs.
After importing your own sticker PNG files, simply drag and drop them to your desired location on the page. You can also resize and rotate the elements to fit your page layout.
This allows you to create a truly unique and personalized digital scrapbook that showcases your baby’s milestones and memories.
Customize your digital scrapbook
Customizing your digital scrapbook with different templates and layouts is an essential step in creating a personalized and unique baby photo album. GoodNotes offers a variety of tools to help you achieve the look and style you want for your digital scrapbook.
Firstly, you can choose from the free templates available or import your own. Refer to our video guide below on how to import GoodNotes templates. You can also create or import your own templates in PDF format instead of using the free templates.
