Do you have a stash of secret family recipes sitting around?  Does your mom’s group or church group want to create something truly unique?  Why not make a recipe book?

 

With the free StoryBook Creator 2.0 software and the Recipe Book Predesigned Pages, you can simply drag and drop your photos, type in your recipes, and have a one-of-a-kind recipe book!  The Predesigned Pages kits come with 30 templates in either 8×8, 11×8.5, and 12×12 so you can make the recipe as big or small as you want. 

The Recipe Predesigned Page kits are found as downloads under the “Digital Scrapbooking” section of my personal website for $7.95 each.  Completed StoryBooks are ordered through CMPhotocenter.com.  See more information about StoryBook pricing here.  Discounts are available when StoryBooks are purchased in quantities of 10 or more!

If you’d like help creating your recipe book or would like to comission me to do one for you, feel free to email me.

I’ve been having way too much fun with the StoryBook Creator Plus software.  Yesterday I downloaded the With Love Digital Kit and the Valentine’s Power Palette Additions.  I couldn’t stop laughing when I made this:

One of the most popular reasons people give me for not “getting into” scrapbooking is, “I don’t have time!”

I understand.  Believe me!  I don’t have time every day to pull out ALL of my tools, ALL of my photos, and ALL of my paper.  And don’t get me started on the days when I don’t even know what I want to work on!  (I won’t tell you hwo many albums I have in progress…)

So what if you have a project in mind but need a quick way to get it done?  There are definitely a few options for you.

Go Digital!

If most of your photographs are digital, they’re most likely sitting on your hard drive, just waiting for you to print.  Am I right?  Here are some things to do with your digital pictures:

• Upload them to CMPhotocenter.com and get them printed for super cheap.
• Create a StoryBook!  You can still get StoryBook Creator 2.0 for free and download tons of cute (free) themes to make your own keepsake photo album.
• Create lots of unique photo gifts on CMPhotocenter.com like mugs and Personalized Poems

Paper Album Kits!

Paper Album Kits are a quick and easy way to complete a giftable album for someone special in your life.  Each kit comes with everything you need to create your album: photo mats, embellishments, and an envelope for mailing!  Everything is perfectly coordinated, so there’s no need to hunt around for just the right stickers to match.

Psst!  There are three Paper Album Kits on sale in the While Supplies Last section of my website.

Quick Kits!

I love Quick Kits!  There was one day that I sat down with the 8 x 8 Pet Quick Kit and said, “I’m going to finish this today.”  You know what?  I DID.  It was such a fun and satisfying way to put together an entire album in a short amount of time!

Like the Paper Album Kits, the PicFolio Quick Kits come with everything you need to create a perfectly coordinated album.  Seriously–just add pictures!

PicFolio Quick Kits come in 8 x 8 or 12 x 12 album sizes.  Visit my website for more details!

So what are you waiting for?  No more excuses!  You DO have time to put those pictures in albums, and if you ever need help, I’m always here.
