Scrapbooking and Smilebooks

 As I have mentioned before, (here and here) I take WAY too many photos to scrapbook them all. I am however, making one book for each of my kids. For the first year, I do one page per month, then after that just a couple of pages for the whole year. I am hoping I can fit ages 0-18 in one book. We will see how that goes!

Now...I don't scrapbook my "normal" photos, but last year I made my first digital photo book, using the smilebooks software. This is not an ad for them (they have no idea I'm writing this), but I wanted to share a great product I've found. I chose to use this company for a few reasons.

1. Software to download to my computer (don't have to upload photos to their site)

2. Up to 154 pages! Most I've found anywhere!

3. Complete freedom with layout, text boxes and background

4. Various size books (I got the 12x12 last year)

anyway, I love my 2011 book... and I've already started this years book!
