I’ve started working on the digital scrapbook for 2006 today. I’m only 3.5 years behind, right? I had intentions of having a family scrapbook for every year. Traditional scrapbooking, with cutting paper and gluing photos is time consuming, not to mention expensive, so I have recently turned to digital scrapbooking. The idea being that maybe I can catch up to where I’m SUPPOSED to be and not have it cost me an arm and a leg!
So I will update with new pages as I finish them, but so far, here are the first two. My title page, new year’s eve party and the first event I have pictures of in 2006… going to “Naughty School Girl Night” at the Lizard Lounge with our friends. Wow… we SO did not fit in there! I felt, though, that the hilarity of us going to something like that needed to be documented anyway. Our kids will get a good laugh out of it one day, I’m sure!
Update – 4/16/09
I finished up the last pages this week and ordered my book to be printed yesterday. I can’t wait to see how it turned out! I ended up having to leave out the bachelorette party page because the file was corrupted for some reason (maybe my computer knew what the content on the page was! haha 
) but since it was out, and I needed to take out one more page to make all the other layouts stay in the right order I took out our birthday party page too. Worked out well enough cause that gave me exactly the 20 pages you get with a photobook without having to pay extra to add pages in. I was originally going to do a paper back copy cause it’s $10 cheaper, but I discovered that you can’t have the album title printed on the spine if you do that, and I already have one other hard cover book of the same size from them… so I decided to go ahead and spend the extra $10 to make my book more durable, and easier to find on the shelf.
Here’s a link to the digital preview of my book, or if you have flash, I think this preview thing might work here:
