Does anyone do scrapbooking 100% by the computer by printing everything on the page?
I am thinking about getting rid of all my scrapbook supplies and go totally digital. I have photoshop elements 7, is there another software that will do this? Everything I am seeing is where people are doing both digital and “crafty” but not all digital.

I know of people who have done an all digital scrapbook. They had a printer that could print out on 12×12 paper.
I personally do not like the look. Too flat and 2D for me.
But more software is coming out do this. Check out the paper craft magazine for different ones. (My library carries four different scrapbook magazines-a good place to check out old issuse without added cost to you)

I do primarily Digital scrapbooking. I find it easier for a few reasons. One I don’t have to remember to print out my photos. Two I don’t have to pull anything out except my computer.
I use Storybook Creator Plus from Creative Memories. This program allows you to create and print individual pages, whole bound books, and any other sized items. I use the software to make invitation and cards too using my scrapbooking embellishments etc.
Take a look at the link below for an overview of the program.
