Scrapbook pages

I am finally getting caught up with Afton's scrapbook. I have been doing 2 - 3 pages per month. I just printed about 30 pages and I am excited to get them in her little album. I still LOVE my 6x6 album. This is the perfect size for little hands. Afton loves looking at old pictures and gets excited when she sees someone she knows!

I only chose a few and they are out of order but you get the idea.

Most of my pictures are of Afton but sometimes I have pictures of me and Brett or just one of us. Any ideas on how to incorporate those into an album. Separate album? Or just throw them all together? (which is what I'm doing now)

Scrapbook pages

When Afton was born I started a HUGE 12 by 12 scrapbook. I did a calendar page at the beginning of each month and tried to do at least two layouts per month. Not fun! Well, the I love the calendar pages but found the layouts to be too time consuming.

During that time I started working on some digital pages and decided that was more my style. I started making smaller books (mostly 6x6) and realized I LOVED that size so much more. It's small, easy to hold, and something Afton can actually carry around.

So, I need to finish Afton's first year book but took some time out to back track and work on digital pages.

I have now printed everything on 6x6 sheets and put it in a photo album.

I love it! 

Here are a few pages from Afton's book!

Color Book

When I saw this idea I knew I had to make one
for Afton. I had so much fun going through pictures
and searching for colors! The book is tiny enough
to carry around in the diaper bag and the lamination
makes it washable! I love it and so does Afton!

My cute sister in law Tiff has gone digital! She is in the process of selling her page layouts! They are 12 by 12 and some are assembled, some are not. If you are interested check out her blog!

Another fun dinner at Grandma Keetch's!
The kids LOVED riding around the backyard on the sled!
Afton held on tight the whole time - no matter who else was there.
Kids were getting on and off and Afton held her position!

Afton is now 7 months old but I wanted to post my six month page. I decided a while ago that I loved digital scrapbooking but since then I have completed quite a few pages the old fashioned way. I have really enjoyed making these pages and the end result. So... I am still torn but for now I am sticking to the non-digital approach.

Anyway - Afton is growing so fast. She has reached many milestones and continues to amaze me! I love these pictures and wanted to remember her at this fun age. (Brett hates the headband but I was able to sneak a few pictures with it on. :)

For the last few months I have been torn between digital scrapbooking vs hands-on. (I know - me scrapbooking at all is funny) I am not terribly creative and get extremely frustrated working on simple projects. Anyway, I started a scrapbook/journal using paper, glue, scissors, etc. and I was excited about my work until... I gave in and decided to try my hand at digital.
Ok - I LOVE digital scrapbooking.
Somehow it seems sooooo much easier, less time consuming and the finished product always seems to look better. The only problem is the printing. I have found a few places that will print a 12 by 12 but they are usually around $3.50. Yikes! Is that worth it? My other options are to print them smaller and mount them on a 12 by 12 so they will still fit into my existing scrapbook. I don't know, but I will continue to go digital for now and use my hands-on creativity for other projects. Any thoughts or tips would be great!
