Scrapbooking?
Do any of you out there scrapbook? I'd like to hear your thoughts and find out how you do it. I've always done it the traditional way, but since kids that hasn't happened. I've looked into digital and I'm trying Shutterfly. Does anyone else do that or any other company? How do you like it? How do you do it? Like one book per child per year or what? How many pages do you do? Any other insights would be great. Thanks, Andrea

I use adobe photoshop to do my digital scrapbooking pages. I have loved it so far. I haven't figured out anywhere to print yet. The photoshop is a litte expensive. I got mine as a Christmas present.
I haven't done this yet, but I have decided to put our pictures in an album, possibly simply decorated, that the kids can look at, but then they can have their pictures when they are older and do what they want with them. Scrapbooks are so cute, but I usually just look at the pictures anyway and don't pay attention to all the detail surrounding the picture.
I love Shutterfly. I have decided that I will do one book per year and two for the first year of each child...so that when they grow up and leave the nest they can take their "baby" book with them and I will still have a copy. For example...In 2005 Benjamin was born so I will do 2 books, one for him and one for me. For 2006 I will only do one...no babies. 2007 will have 2 books, one for Alex and one for me. This is the plan so far. My sister-in-law does shutterfly and the books are great. They come all hardbound and the quality is awesome.
Hopefully this helps with your decision.

I have used shutterfly for "end of the year" summary scrapbooks that I keep our for the kids to see, and get copies for christmas presents for grandparents and such. I also have memory mixers, a very easy to use digital scrapbooking program that I use for my blog, and also intend to use to catch up fast on all the years that I'm behind. I plan to upload the pages and have prints made that can be put in a book, or bound. I still love paper scraping, but since I don't manage to do it much, want to just keep it up for current stuff.
I do have TONS of supplies if you ever want to come over and craft!
