I'm not sure if this link will work, but I thought I'd try. I did my DS's baby book on shutterfly.com and they now let you post the books in their gallery. They are really easy to make, of course I made mine way more complicated than most, but that's me.

good job on that book. It is real good. I like using those websites to do family photo albums. And I am like you, I go crazy with all the options to make it look cool.
 
Wow!!!! That is amazing! I wish I had your patience, creativity, ______(fill in the blank)!!! Great job!
 
Wow! That was great. I need to do that, I keep thinking that I need to finish scrapping my son's book, but never seem to get around to it.

I only got it done when I did because Shutterfly sent me an offer for a free photo book. I completed it just before his second birthday. I had been working on it all along, but completed 15 pages in about 10 days. I was on a mission and did little else besides the book and working during that time. Poor kids and husband - who needs the real thing when you have pictures that don't talk back, right?
 
I am loving the digital stuff they have out now. I don't have the patience to sit and cut and glue, etc... LOL! But they are nice.

I love digital. I need some good scrapbooking software though. I don't really have anything. I put that book together using copy/paste pix I found for free on the internet or by scanning stuff. I guess this way, no one else has one exactly like mine.
