There's also the added benefit of being able to "touch up" the picture, or in my case completely change the way I look :) Digiscrapping has the added benefit of enabling my freebie addiction, and occasionally my contest addiction, as most of the digiscrap stuff I download is free. So it's a cute, cheap hobby. Can't do better than that. This layout is one I did for a contest at a digiscrap website; as you can see David was not h...

but dang it if David doesn't look super cute in the Pooh costume Aunt Courtney got him.
