What do you do with a page when you are done?

[CompooperTeacher]

I am engrossed in this whole new way to present photographs. I would never have the patience or the time to scrapbook with all of the tools, supplies, etc.

Once a layout has been completed, what do you do with your finished products? If you take the files to a printer (for example your local Costco or other place that prints out final products better than you can with an inkjet), do you then attach the pages to a "real" scrapbook? Do you frame them?

Just curious to see what others do with their final products. Thanks!

I have been printing my pages out at home and using 8 x 8 albums to insert the pages. My new printer will print 12 x 12 pages but I am really liking the 8x8 size.

Printing out is something I rarely do ... mine just go into one of my "computer" photo albums.

Then I add a little music and play the slide shows

put them in a scrapbook with insert pages, I post them to a scrapbook web site I visit, I post them to Photobucket and share with out of state family.
Some are framed, some on my fridg, some I don't print at all.

That's the beauty of it.....you can do what ever you want with which ever way works best for you.

There are printers now (Epson makes one, and so does HP) that print 12x12 pages, which is the size of most traditional scrapbook pages. So one option is to print your own. Another option is to take them to a professional printer to print, using archival paper.

You can also create a scrapbook page of any size. There are so many options available now in digital scrapbooking. And so many products out there designed to make digital scrapbooking simple and fun. From entire packages, complete with book and templates for each page, to themed kits for special occasions, even photo books that you print out yourself on your ordinary home printer and assemble on the spot.

And don't forget to click on Create in Elements 3, which will take you to some features that allow you to upload photos into your own photo book, which is then sent to Kodak for printing. In about 2 weeks, you receive your beautifully bound book, with all your own words and pictures, back in the mail.

We'll be highlighting some popular scrapbooking products in the coming months...

Thanks Jan.

I am always looking for scrapbook things and so much of the stuff is for traditional. I check on the internet but that is such a long process and I don't have DSL so I usually have to give up searching after about an hour.

This one is a compilation of some pictures of my dad on his 80th birthday. I used the color picker to get his shirt colors for some of the background colors. Guess they are a lot like the ones of the dog!
