I'm Baaaaaaaaack!

I helped a friend of mine make her own digital album today and it made me all the more anxious to do some work on my own album. I actually did finish an album recently, with the pictures from our beach vacation last year. I have been ordering strictly through York Photo Labs, because they have great specials and I can often get my albums printed for 60% off the normal price. They are the least expensive maker of digital albums and yet I am very happy with their quality. I also have found that if you have an issue with a book, they are very good about giving a replacement. This may all be boring for you, and I'm sorry! I just really rely on reviews personally, and I wanted you to know why I am sold on York.
My daughter, who was used to my making her a really thick and HEAVY album twice in a year, has been very disappointed by my negligence in scrapbooking. But although I feel guilty when I think about it, I still know deep in my heart that it is more important to be living life than to be scrapbooking it. I mean, since I have to choose!

So here are a few of my favorite pages from my latest digital album. Our Beach Vacation

 I often make custom cover books, but I made a window book this time and liked how it turned out.

 It's so easy to make one of your pictures into a background for your page, like I did above. I actually take pictures specifically to be used as background now.

 I really liked this page. I like that I can add clip art for free. That beats stickers!

Another example of the picture being the background. This reads, " Your sibling is the only other person who knows exactly what growing up in your family was really like."

One of my favorite pictures of us at the beach.

 

I find I can get a page done here and there, and I like not having to get everything out like stickers and paper and photos. I have to be saving money not buying all those things, too.

But don't give up on me, die hard scrapbookers! I still have a box of pictures printed out and several books still in their wrappers waiting for me to finish someday.

When I write next, I'd like to write about scrapbooking traditionally WITH my kids, as I was able to share this hobby with them last month. I also hope to share some Disney photography tips in the upcoming blogs.
