How many of you would use a custom scrapbook service?

I think it is a great idea, as long as the scrapbookmaker can capture the escence of my family. There is something to be said for tacky homemade things made from a place of love.

It goes is spurts -- Right now I am an "inactive" member. But I know that will change soon! \n\nI think the concept is great and am happy giving my unwanted items to someone who will actually use them (as opposed to dropping items off at a community rummage sale or Goodwill). \n\nI do find it a bit time-consuming. But when I'm actively posting, yes, it is addicting!

Sounds like you want to use a database like Filemaker. With a database you can create custom reports that could be used as tests.

When ever possible use recycled paper. \n\nRegarding the paperless office, I was just having a conversation earlier today about the very same subject. Electronic data is very efficient, however, what if the system crashes and no means to retrieve your backup data, if you kept a paper backup then you can resort to the paper information if possible. (old school)

it is a good place to meet other ppl.. I have met alot of s.a.h.m.'s from all over the world and you can be picky about who you talk to as well... plus making the pages is really fun!!!

I made my own invites, which I really like. I am an avid scrapbooker too, and used www.mygatsby.com and went to the Envelopement line. We re-created the 9x5 envelopement. We ordered one in, tore it apart to make a template, and bought our own paper and embellishments. Check out the pic at \nhttp://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b143/blushing27/IMG_1001_small.jpg

The scrapbook was an awesome idea. I would do something similar - something to her personality. If she likes to cook, find her favorite foods and make a personalized cookbook out of it. Find out what she likes to do, then embelish and personalize it.

I haven't, but my sister participated in a scrapbook project where each person did a page. She put pictures of her with the singer, his bandmates, some ticket stubs and things that made her think of him -- and she also wrote him a letter telling how his music had affected her. All in all, it was really nice.

I have 3 of them actually.  One on the computer, a custom built program someone did for me.  I love it!  It has all I need in it and he adds something if I need it.  Two ones I made.  I made the covers and all of it for them.  One is like a journal that I add what I want, the other has the spells and rituals I use or share.  I add all kinds of things to it, pictures, drawings, poetry, etc.  I decorate it as I feel like it.

I have one so i can make fun of everyone else's and listen to new bands. I have no personal information on there though\n\n\nI also have a second one that I made as a joke, that has a picture of a girl that died a couple years ago as the picture. I used it to prank my brother and his friends. They were all talking to her on myspace and they all wanted to meet up with her, so i told them all to go to the same movie at the same time. So then 4 of them showed up and met each other instead of her, while i stood hidden with my friend and a video camera. It was priceless. \nI was trying to teach them a lesson, not to meet strangers off the internet. Also, it was really funny.

I never used to because I thought that people just threw them away as most don't say much more than the card itself with the addition of a signature. But then I thought about all the people I have lost contact with over the years and decided to try and alleviate that by sending some out each year...and with more than a signature...at least a paragraph. I'm not up to what I would say is a lot each year yet but the ones I do send are quality. Probably more answer than you are looking for but good question! :o)

An old friend once made a beautiful card with a poem in it and I loved that forever coz it was handmade from so little and looked like so much. Thought was put into it too. Ah well. Got rid of most old friend stuff by now after some of hubby's relatives said wives shouldn't keep it, but I kept that card, darn it. :)

I prefer live journal, it allows you to have your friends on one page and you can customize it much easier.

I have used Microsoft Publisher to make flyers.\n\nBut I don't know enough about it to say how good it is.\n\nI was not overly impress.\nI thought it was difficult to learn if you are in a hurry,\nThat it was not very flexible when dealing with templates\nAnd like any program which use templates, it was too restrictive.\nPlus, I don't like the way it saves the whole thing as an image.

I made my boyfriend a scrapbook for Valentine's Day... Just a little one with pictures of everything from that year and wrote some sweet stuff in it.  A gift that he might like better though - buy yourself something sexy and have a dinner alone at home.  He'll love it!  :)
