Getting ready for another...

I'm getting to make the mother of all baby books for my 8mo old son. So far I just done this vacation one of him. Please take a look and let me know if you have any suggestions for the next.

I am so glad you used the Collage book instead of the baby boy book. He will appreciate this book more as he gets older. You did a really nice job setting up the photos for each page.

Good job...I enjoyed it very much.

Crusier you seem to very knowledgable about MP. I am going to start making an album for my daughter in law which will cover from his birth to 3 months. Do you suggest not using the baby boy book because of the limitations and doing a collage book? I just finished my first album of my daughter's wedding and used the MP wedding album arrangement. It came out very nice but I don't want to use the same size or format. I appreciate any input you can give me.

I have a suggestion. Open both book styles. For a few pages, drag the same pictures into both and see which you prefer. The baby book works great for birth to 3 months but the collage is one that you could keep on your computer and add pictures to as he grows. You could add up to 100 pages which would cover at least the first year or so depending on how many pictures you add. Have a book printed, give it to your daughter-in-law and keep working on adding pages as they are taken and have it printed again for yourself. Just because you uploaded a book doesn't mean you can't go back and add more pages and have it printed again.

I'm taking a suggestion from the Wedding forum and ordered Scrapbook Factory 4.0. I don't do scrapbooks but like the idea of having different backgrounds and fonts to work with. If you want to experiment and have the time, you could do your own pages, save them as .jpeg files and bring them into MP. You could really make a great book for your family that would last a lifetime. You could mix your own pages with any of the MP book styles. Check out Marti's posts in the scrapbook section. She has posted several links to books she has made. I believe she even posted one about her twin granddaughters.

I saw another person post about that program. I think I am going to go over to Staple's and purchase it today. The link to the book that you sent me is awesome and it will open me up to being more creative. Thanks for your input.
