what to do with the old scrapbooks?!

this is a tricky thing. I defintely wouldn't scan those pages and print them, I don't think the quality would be very good.

For me, I have the whole first year of my first daughter paper scrapped and I have gradually been redoing those digitally. I scrapped way more pictures then, then I would now... so it won't be quite as much. I want them to be uniform and look nice together. Of course I'll never get rid of that one, but I want them all the same. I just fit in scrapping those pages when I have time here and there.

I think you put a lot of love into the albums that you did in the traditional format...they should be left alone. I got out old scrapbooks with my son's girlfriend last week and looking at how my style has changed over the years was actually kind of fun. And to someone who isn't a die hard scrapbooker, they are all just beautiful pages, no matter if they are done paper or digital.

I agree with what has already been said - save your money for new digi kits and stuff

yall are the BEST!! I think I've decided to keep on going.. I'm finishing up her 3rd year right now.. She just turned 4 in July, so I don't want to get behind..

My style has changed too, as far as the number of pics I used to put on each page vs. what I do now! So it probably wouldn't take TOO terribly long to recreate a short version of materinity/birth & 1st year books! Just to have on the shelf next to the others!

I was so excited when my daughter's 2nd year book came in the mail.. but as soon as I shared it with friends & family they were like, "well.. where's the 1st year? I don't think i ever saw that one" They had seen it.. but obviously, the paper book didn't make as big of an impression on them as the digi book!! & then I had to go dig out the HUGE, THICK, paper album... which made me think..hmm..maybe I should redo these to match!

thanks a miiiilllion, ladies!!!!!

I'm keeping my old books & during my free time (ha) I may rescrap & try to make short versions of very special memories so I will have books from birth & 1st year!!- all uniform.
