When I digital scrapbook, I create a whole layout on one document in Photoshop.  After I am finished with the page, I copy and paste each half of the layout onto separate "pages."  That way I can place them in my "books" that are later published.  You'll notice that I leave margins around the edges of each page to make room for "bleeding." Bleeding is where the picture is printed all the way to the edges, and some of the picture is lost in the printing.  

The most pages I have done in one week was about 160, which was a book I made of my family reunion in July 2006.  For the most part, the pages were very simple, and I used very few embellishments (not only because of time constraint, but also because I have five brothers who aren't really into "frills").  It was quite a task.  My mom came out to take care of my kids so I could finish the project before Christmas.  NOTE TO SELF: Don't attempt to do that many in a week again.

Roger's Baby Blessing


This LO of Roger's blessing is part of a large book I had published for my whole family.  Roger was blessed at our family reunion in July 2006.  The photo on the left was actually taken in our living room before the reunion.  I changed the levels around and added more light to the photo.  All the backgrounds in this book were white, and, for the interest of time, I added black borders around each photo (stroke/outline) to give each picture a little definition.



This LO is in black and white because I had a hard time getting the color right in a couple of the pictures.  Also, my sister-in-law took some of the photos with BW film.  To make life easier, I just made them all BW, and that took care of the problem.
