Scanned scrapbook paper

[karenschulz]

Does anyone have any experience with scanning a piece of scrapbook paper and then using it in a Photoshop Elements page, which is then put into MP? I see TONS of wonderful digital kits "out there" but I also see all the "traditional" scrapbook paper I have purchased over the years, which I would love to be able to use in a digital layout, if I can!

Thanks for any input!

Hi Karen!

Before digital freebies were so widely available, I scanned my scrapbook paper all the time and used it on PP layouts. However, I don't believe I have printed a book yet with any as the background paper. I have been dismantling a traditional album my mother made years ago to duplicate her layouts in a book. I have been scanning her background paper, elements and embellishments. They've scanned well, but I'm not finished with the book yet, so don't know how they'll look in print.

Sorry I'm not much more help,
Marti
