Flashback: 2007

So...I take a lot of pictures that I do nothing with.  A few make it to the blog, some maybe facebook, but most just sit and take up hard drive space on my little white Mac. I would love to be a scrapbooker, but that would require printing pictures, planning pages, and many trips to Hobby Lobby.  That's way too many steps. 
 4 years ago, I tried my hand at some digital scrapbooking, and I was mildly pleased with the results.

But that was literally 4 years ago, and I only made it through 5 pages and one vacation.  I made a vow I'd print more pictures after that, but I can count on one hand how many times I've printed a picture since then.

So...do I throw in the towel and concede that "modern day" photo albums exist only online? Have you found a neat way to do something with all of the pictures you take? Have you found any digital scrapbooking or photobooks so-easy-dummies-could-use-them that would be useful?

I'm feeling the itch for a project!

This is a comment pleading for more comments... :) Mostly for the dummy-friendly solutions to digitally display pics. Help!

I started making photo books for special occasions at www.kodakgallery.com
However, it is somewhat limited on how/where you can add text. Definitely not as creative as what you posted, but very user-friendly. You can frequently get coupons to the site as well.

They are great coffee table books and gifts. I know that Kate used a different site for her European travels...

Too funny--"Ross" is actually "Amber" (if you couldn't figure that one out!) :)

This is a non-digital suggestion, but check out Becky Higgins' blog. She does something called Project Life. All the supplies you need come in one big box and it's not too expensive. She gives lots of different suggestions of how to use it, including taking a photo a day (quite challenging for me)!!! There are also little journaling cards that come with it so you can write about your experiences too!

Wait, Kelsey! I totally forgot on my first post! :) Becky Higgins also has a digital Project Life. Check out her blog for more info! :)
