What kind of question is that? To some people it may sounds offensive. "Who do you think I am?"
Hahaha.. I didn't mean it like that. Scrapping or scrapbooking digitally is very famous now a days. I am one of the fan of digital scrap booking.

So what is it, really? According to wikipedia, SCRAPBOOKING is a method for preserving personal and family history in the form of photographs, printed media, and memorabilia contained in decorated albums, or scrapbooks. The idea of keeping printed materials of personal interest probably dates to shortly after the invention of printing. This trend is probably similar for photographs.
Marielen Christensen of Spanish Fork, Utah is often credited with reviving interest in scrapbooking in the United States. She began designing creative pages for her family's photo memories, inserting the completed pages into sheet protector collected in 3 rings binder. By 1980, she had assembled over fifty volumes and was invited to display them at the World Conference on Records in Salt Lake City. Marielen and her husband AJ authored and published a how-to book, Keeping Memories Alive, and opened a scrapbook store in 1981 that remains open today.
'Scrappers' or 'scrapbookers' usually get together to scrapbook at each others home, local book stores or maybe a convention.
I am proud to admit, I am a 'scrappers'! I scraps almost everything. Besides scrapping the photos for memories keeping, I did my own layout. My own BLOG LAYOUT. Good eh? I loved spending hours in front of the computer putting together all the nice scrap tit-bits altogether to get an awesome looking blog! (awesome to me at least, I don't care if other people think it's not awesome, but at least I scrapped it myself) I used the Photoshops CS3 to make my own layout (yes the one you see now in my blog, hehehe).
