I feel sort of special and privileged as a digi scrapper. Here’s my top ten list of why I’m glad I’m a digi scrapper:

1. We don’t have to wait until the summer and winter shows to get new stuff. There are new releases every day in the digi world – most of them on sale for at least the first day.
2. Trends seem to move quickly through the digi world so our favorite designers are more able to react to what is popular to meet our whims and desires.
3. Digi scrappers have a more personal “relationship” with the designers of the products. I know most scrappers (even the hard-core) don’t know WHO designed the product. They only know what company is manufacturing it. We know the designers by name.
4. We we purchase a kit we essentially get an entire “line” of product. We don’t have to pick or choose what we want. We get everything.
5. And, obviously, we get to reuse what we purchase. A sheet of paper is not a single use item.
6. We are not dependent upon the buyers of local stores or large chains to make purchasing decisions for us. We buy direct from the designer – or at least through a consignment shop.
7. We don’t have to wait weeks or months for the new products to arrive. Our only wait time is determined by the speed of our internet connection.
8. Designers and manufacturers can’t discontinue our favorite products.
9. We never have to purchase adhesives or storage supplies.
10. We can easily change the scale, color, opacity, orientation, and size of the products purchases. Try “shrinking” a large scale printed paper or converting printed cardstock into translucent vellum.
