75 page pocket scrapped gift album for my parents of our 11 day road trip this summer is FINALLY done!! Now I can try to catch up PL again. So glad to have this project DONE!!

Anyone else pocket scrapping any gifts?
 
Thanks Dalis! There were several times this week that I thought this project was going to beat me... but I came out the winner in the end! Now to either wait a few days to see if Shutterfly offers a sale on photo books or go on the hunt for coupons!
 
That's awesome! I am not pocket scrapping - but doing an album of traditional pages from our Disney trip this summer for my sister and my parents. I think I have 2 or 3 pages left to scrap. I gave myself a deadline of Dec 12 to get them printed at Persnickety so I can get them back before Christmas.

I bet it feels amazing for you to be done! Can't wait for that feeling. :)
 
I did a pocket style album last Christmas for my in-laws, with photos of a family trip we took last summer to California. But 75 pages? Wow! Mine was more like 10, lol. That is an awesome gift.
 
This project did spiral a bit, but it was an amazing trip. We were gone for 11 days and we hit Grand Teton National Park, Yellowstone, Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Wall Drug, the Badlands, the Corn Palace, spent a day on a private ranch that my cousins manage in Montana and more. I had all of my photos from my big camera, my phone, my son's phone, my daughter's phone, my dad's camera and a few that my cousin sent me. And since since we went to so many beautiful places, I did use a lot of large photos which added to the page count as well.

I does feel amazing to be done! You're almost there Ashley!
 
i would love to, but it's not realistic for me. i suck at finishing these kinds of things in a timely manner. :giggle
 
Wow! That is simply amazing that you finished 75 pages for a gift! You rock!
 
Waw, really fabulous you made it!
 
so, can i change my answer? it's now a 'maybe'. :giggle i've been working (apparently for the last year) on 2013 Christmas album, and it's close to being done!! I'm going to SEE if I can plow through it in the next day or so and get that bad boy sent off to print. It would be a Chrismtas miracle if (1) I finished, and (2) it was printed and back in time... but we'll give it a good ol' fashioned try!!
 
Yay Rebecca!! I hope it all comes together for you!

I have my book already and I'm in love! I was worried about the turn around time with Shutterfly this time of year, but I was surprised by how fast my book shipped. I had it within a week of placing my order.
 
That is awesome! Did you print a copy for yourself? That's what I love about digital...once it's done you can make as many copies as you want for people.
 
I printed two copies... one for us, one for my parents. I printed during the 50% off sale. I love being able to look through our copy while leaving my parents' book all safely wrapped in plastic!
