Photography classes often teach photographers to get close to their subjects. While this can result in great shots, photos taken too close to their subjects don’t always work well with the techniques you might want to use in digital scrapbooking. Sometimes it pays to keep your distance.
Artisan projects can take up considerable space on a computer. The size of the project depends on the number of pages and photos added.
