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.

Star Trek May 2005



I know, I know, it's from 2005, but I just scrapped it. Notice how simple this page is. No frills. I have been saying for over a year now that I'm almost done with 2005. I really am, but I didn't do very much scrapping last year. So now I'm not spending a lot of time making the pages look fancy. I just want to get this book done. I'm already up to 300 pages (that's about 150 layouts). Through blurb.com, it will cost me under $100 to have a whole year printed. I just need to get the whole year done.
