Digital Scrapbooking – Top 5 Apps
Scrapbooking is like a sticker book for adults. Printing the photos, gluing and sticking all the pieces together, and even finding the right backgrounds can be a challenge. The digital age comes to the rescue with apps for the iPad and Tablets that let you scrapbook without gluing your fingers together.

Martha Stewart CraftStudio
iPad – Free
Martha’s CraftStudio app isn’t just for scrapbooking – it’s for anything to do with craft paper. Create cards, invitations, scrapbook pages and more… for free. The only downside is the limited sets of themes – four – that come with the main app; all other themes are in app purchases.
