Scrapbook VS Photobook

I love scrapbooking.  I love seeing a whole finished album.  I don't love the process of making one though.  My entire kitchen table gets consumed by paper, stickers, pictures, paper cutter, and trash.  It also takes quite a bit of time and lots of money.

I knew I wanted to put our Destin vacation pictures in an album.  Conveniently, I got an email from Snapfish and remembered they offer photobooks.  I started thinking about taking the easy way out and making a photobook!  With the right coupon (there are always a bizillion online), I could make a 12x12 photo book for just over $30.  I knew a scrapbook would cost closer to $100.  So, based on the price alone, I opted to make a photobook.

I spent about 4 hours arranging photos, writing titles and captions, and proofing my work.  Last Friday night I placed my order.  I'm very anxious to get the book!  It should be here late this week, or early next week.  If I love it as much as I think I may, the kids may not get any more scrapbooks out of me!  (Other than Baby #3's 1st year scrapbook!)

  1. I'm a fan of photobooks! I've made tons for gifts and for myself. They are easy to do and good quality. However, I do miss the 3-d stickers, choice of background paper, and such. It's impossible to scrapbook every picture that I take so I only scrapbook visitors that come to UT and do photobooks for the rest. :)
