Sorry for taking over the gallery last night and today!!

I am finally finished with our vacation album from our trip to Glacier National Park this summer. 50 pages. I probably could have kept going but I limited myself.

Thanks for looking...this was one of my favorite projects for sure!!

I'm jealous. I started out great and then went to scrap other photos. I need to get back on track.
I would love to see how yours turned out!!
 
I had so much fun putting it together. :) Now I'm thinking about making smaller albums for each of the girls.
 
You girls are so awesome!! I tried showing my hubby and while he thought the pages were coming together nicely he doesn't really get it. He's like "I was there". Men...
 
Oh!! Didn't you love Glacier? That is one of my all time favorite family vacations we have taken - so beautiful. Can't wait to see your album!!
 
Oh I bet it's gorgeous! When my sister went, I scrapped the pages for her just so I could look at those awesome pictures! I bet that feels so awesome to have it finished! Are you printing as a whole book somewhere?

I will be printing it for sure!! I used to print through Creative Memories and I print the girls' basketball books through Shutterfly. Thinking about using Blurb to print this album. Any suggestions??
 
OOOH I'm impressed and I want to see it! I am still working on a 14 day cruise plus 3 days in London vacation that we took in 2014!!! I'm going to finish "soonish".
 
I don't have any printer recommendations but I wanted to say that your vacation pages are gorgeous!! What an incredible trip and what a gorgeous way to preserve these memories!:yourock

If you are still thinking of blurb, they have a 50% off for black Friday deal.
 
I actually spent the time to upload a full book of pages that I needed to print and tried Blurb last week with their 50% sale. I'll post back here once I receive my book. The process of uploading and creating was pretty easy. They have an option where you can turn on a pink edge that shows their keep out zones and those seemed really big to me. I'm hoping they don't actually chop off that much because some of my pages are going to lose important bits. We'll see what I end up with.

I tried my first Blurb book (106 pages from our trip to Poland this fall). I would recommend it over Shutterfly, hands down. The book is so beautiful, it almost made me cry. I did mine in 11 x 13 landscape, no layouts, only photos. I couldn't be happier. And I got it at their 50% off sale as well. I also tried their magazine format for some of my layouts. Since I scrap in 8.5 x 11, and their magazine format is 8.5 x 11, it worked well for me. I received four magazines earlier this week, and I am SO PLEASED. They are thin, much thinner than a hardcover, but for what I wanted, they are absolutely gorgeous.
