"Hybrid" App Scrapping
Say what now? Well, we might as well give the Google bots something to shoot for ....
This is where I explain how I make my Project Life pages rather than have to give a garbled short version every time anyone asks me. Most of the time I make my pages in the Project Life app on my phone, save the page to Dropbox, download it to my computer and then bring it into My Memories. I can make it a background in My Memories or add it on top of the background as a photo (that's what I do in the tutorial here).
I then add various embellishments and text if I haven't already done that in the PL app. Adding text in the app tends to drive me bonkers so I usually add that in My Memories when I can see what I'm doing on a big screen and the sizes don't jump around - plus I have thousands of fonts on my computer.
When I'm not using the app I'll often use a template in Photoshop Elements and bring that into My Memories. I can finish pages in PSE but it takes me a lot longer.

Why do I do this?
Because I'm a digi scrapper who's using the PL app as a tool. It's a brilliant tool but it is just a tool. I've been digi scrapping for years. I like to add embellishments, word art etc. I have gazillions of digital kits full of those things. Yes, you can do lots of that with various apps but it's all here on my computer where I'm sitting looking at a big screen!
Basically there are no rules in any kind of scrapbooking. You can do what you like and make pages as it suits you.

What is the exact process?
We wil be adding process tutorials on here shortly. These will take you right from "We need to go out, I have nothing for my page this week" to how to print your pages with full details of how to get what you want on your phone and/or computer get everything backed up etc etc.
