Do you digital?

I recently started digital scrapbooking. I really love it. No mess to clean up, I just pull out the laptop, scrapbook for an hour or so, and put it away when I'm done.

I've still spent a little bit on product, but nothing compared to walking into a scrapbook store where I leave 60 dollars poorer. I get so much more product and I get to use it over and over again.
The one thing I don't like is the fact that I haven't been able to find anywhere to print my pages for less than $6.99 PER PAGE. That would cost me hundreds of dollars just to print her first year scrapbook by the time I'm done with it. That's a little ridiculous.
Which brings me to my question. Do you digital scrapbook? If so, where do you print your pages? I know I could print them into a dedicated book but I don't really want to do that. I'd rather print pages and put it into a regular scrapbook. I can just see Nora ripping the unprotected pages out of a real book, in just a few years. Shout at me!

Hey Jess your pictures are super cute!! Question did you take a photography class or have you just played and learned on your own? I love to digital scrapbook as well and I have run into the same problem so if you find a solution I would love to hear it!! Your scrapbook pages are super cute, but then again you always have been SUPER creative and crafty!!

There are sites that you order your books threw that are super cute and ok priced! They get mailed right to your door...and you can order more then one. Sometimes by one get one or halkf off. Say you put one away for future use or as a gift to someone. Or keep them for her and give them to her asd she gets bigger and one for yourself. I will have to look at the ones I have used and get back to you.

Cute pages! Where did you get your papers/embellishments? I love digital too and thought the same thing about printing into a book with kids looking through them. After researching printing companies, I finally found one that will print 12x12 loose pages for .75 - .85 cents/pg. SO GOOD! I haven't ordered any yet, so I'm not sure on the quality, but I'm sure it's good. It's viovio.com. Go to their pricing on 12x12 books and scroll down for info on loose pages. Happy scrapping!

Jess, these pages are so cute!! The digital scrapbooking is a great idea, I want to start, so much more convenient!! I don't know if it will work, but maybe try Snapfish.com...I always order my pics from there and they are way cheap and always have codes you can find too. But I'm just not positive if they do scrapbook pages? Good luck!

Isn't taking baths with your little on so fun? Those pictures of Nora in the tub are so darling. I love the pages you've done too. WAY cute, you are so talented. People have tried to show me how to digital scrapbook but I just don't get it. HELP?!?

Wow, this is so cute! I had never even thought of digital scrapbooking. I don't know anything about printing them off but these are just so cute. You really have such a talent for artistic things!

Hey Jessica, I just came across your blog from Shelley Monsen and I also digital scrapbook! I love love love it and I also use viovio.com. I have printed a lot of pages from there and they look great! It's super cheap-$.75 a page and $5.00 for shipping, no matter how much you order. But you have to have a minimum of like 20 pages or so which isn't that much. I don't know if you know, but there are TONS of free digital scrapbooking sites out there with super cute kits that you can find! Good luck and I love your sweet little baby!

Oh yeah...my sis is probably getting married so she may contact you for photos if you do it! :)
