How big is your average Disney scrapbook? About This Page:

[Goofy'sGal]

I'm trying to get caught up on my scrapbooks for our last two trips before I get behind again from my upcoming trip in March LOL and once again,I have way too many pictures. DH keeps telling me I don't have to include them all but they tell the story of our trip. And I look to make each page have it's own theme or related theme so I'm afraid I'm going to end up with a HUGE book once again. I've posted before about my huge '03 scrapbook and how I can't extend the posts, etc and although the pages are done, the book is far from finished [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

So, I started wondering, how many pages on average do you include in your Disney scrapbooks? Am I the only crazy one who has trouble not including pics from your trip - I mean, I don't put EVERY picture, but the majority do wind up in there! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Thanks! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

My last two have been 12x12, one with 9 pages (18) and the other with 12 pages (24), front and back with the first page in each book being a title page.

I still have a full photo album for each of those scrapbooks! Can't include them all. [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] And according to a scrap magazine you don't have to!

Good luck making your next one!!!

I do not use every photo. With digital photography, I'd never be done if I used them all! I take the best and scrap that, I only have the best ones printed, too, so that I'm not left with a stack of unscrapped photos. Some extras (or really great ones), I use on calendars, or in frames. On average, I put 30 pages (60 sheets) to 45 per book before I move on to "chapter 2" or per album.

Mine from last summer has 37 pages.

Oh boy, I think I'm in trouble! Val, I think we are alot alike! Last count I had 36 pages (that would be 18 front and back) and I am only about half done! I don't use every photo, but it's really hard not to. What I do is pick the best 3 or 4 per page and throw the others into a pile. When I am done, I go back and do a montage of the discarded pictures at the end of the book. The ones that I really want to use.

This one is so different though because it's combining Disney and Christmas since we were there after Thanksgiving. Turning out really cute though!

A girl at work just brought me all of her 2 boys baby pictures, two albums and a bunch of paper, stickers, etc. I told her I could do it between Disney books! I hope I can work on hers soon.

Oh, I have a great plan for my first paper bag album. I am going to do Disney on Ice Princess Classics that we saw on Saturday. Just enough pics for a good PB album I think. I'll let you all know how it turns out!

[Goofy'sGal]

Thanks, everyone! Glad to know I'm not alone!

Tammy, that's too funny! I am in awe of you that you're taking on someone else's scrapbooking for them! I wish I could find time to do my own and I only work part-time LOL

By the way, I love your license plate! I have the same BTDT Going Back frame but with a boring old NJ license plate - yours is a lot more fun! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

[ladyt]

Val - yes, I am a little nervous about doing hers. I really don't think I am that good, but she loves my Disney books so I hope I can do a good job.

Those are my new plates, just got them yesterday. I emailed a pic to my sister and she said "you have issues!" Hey, everyone has "issues", I'm just glad mine are Disney issues!

I have done four. One has a few pages left to do and I have three more in the works! Two of those still to do are from long weekend trips we took last year, so I hope they will be short.

My first WDW album was 32 pages. The next 56. The next one 98!!! And the last one 68. This last trip we took, I am doing an ABC's of WDW and hope I can keep it to 40 pages or less. I wish I could keep it to about 28, one for each letter and a cover and final page, but some letters will take more than one page. [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

[wdwlovers]

I use CM albums and I go over the max pages suggested by a few each time, so I'd say there are 40 pages or so in each book.

[DawnDenise]

My last two were monsters. One was 25 pages (50 front and back) and the other was 27 pages (54 front and back). I didn't even come close to putting in all my pictures. My one for my December trip will probably be 15 pages.

Amatuers! You are all amatuers! I must truly be crazy! I can't even begin to put one trip into one album! (And no, I'm not putting in every picture.) I guess I just can't resist the cute pics. That's why I'm still working on our 2003 trip! It will probably be three 12x12 post bound albums. Then I get to move on to 2005 pics! AAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!

I've made five on Disney, and they've ranged from 17 pages (double, of course, so really 34) to 43 (86) [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/ukid.gif[/img] for the one that included our vow renewal!!! The others are closer to the 43. The last one, I finally decided I didn't have to catalog every moment, but rather "what wouldn't I want to forget". I haven't decided yet how to do this one, but got some wonderful ideas here about "the happiest place on earth". (And now that I'm done making Valentines, I should start that!).
Some of my scrapbook friends mock me "you don't have to include every picture!" but it's yours and there isn't a wrong answer!!! It is funny, though. One week of a Disney trip was twice as long as my parent's whole life when I made their 50th Anniversary scrapbook!!!!

[DopeyGirl]

I make one for every trip . . . and since I have started doing that, I have 5 for WDW and one for DL . . . none of them with less than 20-25 (40-50) pages. The most I have ever put in a book was something like 32 (64).

[SARH7]

Mine should be around 24 page protectors, so 48 scrapbook pages. I like it to look compete and tell the whole story of our trip, so I have to include alot of pictures- i counted about 100-110 for this book.

I'm another Creative Memories album user -- I stuff my Disney albums as full as they can be -- I'm on Volume 3 now and that will bring me current through the end of 2003! Eek -- I've got to quit going to Disney (no, how about I just find more time to scrapbook) [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
