How to really spice up your deluxe!

As a photographer, I use LumaPix FotoFusion for wedding layouts, but I know that there are a ton of people out there who use it to scrapbook. While I was designing a wedding album, the though hit me to design pages for my PassPorter.

I created a template the exact size of the deluxe sheets, with safe areas for the holes and went to town. Sixty-two pages later I had pictures from all 8 days layed out. I make sure that each day covers an even number of pages, so I can print them double sided. Then I place a complete day of picture pages after the pocket and journal entry for each day. Now I have all of the advantages of the Deluxe PassPorter and a photo scrapbook, in one!

Wow that sounds awesome! I'm a little confused about what Lumapix is, is it a program?

FotoFusion is a program by LumaPix.com that is used to make scrapbook pages, collages, and photographic albums.

What I do to spice up my Deluxe Passporter :
I Buy Pastel Alphabet and Number Stickers (alot of them )....and rainbow color the cover binder with (alphabet) our Last Name and (Numbers) the dates of our trip....
then ...on each Passpocket (bottom)...I do the same with each day we`ll be on our trip and each date (for instance ...Sunday.....June 16th)....it looks cool on the bottom of each passpocket page
I also do the same on the inside of the front cover ...and insert a family picture as well.....
when I`ve realized where we will be each day...I will place picture sticker on the bottom of each passpocket... for instance if we`ll be at the MK...I`ll place a sticker of Cinderella ....if we`ll be at the AK....I`ll place a sticker of Simba or Timon and so on.....It`s fun to personalize your Deluxe ...

Here are a couple of examples. Turns the PassPorter Deluxe into an even better memory book.

That's a neat idea, Love it! I used wall stickers (an idea I got from this board) that I found at Dollar Tree to personalize my Deluxe. I have a big Cinderella sticker on the front of mine.

I like the idea of personalizing the pass-pockets with stickers too.

Very neat I don't have that program, but seriously thinking about getting it. What is the best way to print the pages out. Could you upload them to a photo site and have them print them off? It seems like that would make for better pictures.

Love the examples and makes a lot of sense to use your Passporter this way especially if you aren't a frequent visitor to Disney. I mean I would love to be but unfortunately finances dictate how often we take a family vacation not desire. : )

The best way to print is to use a decent inkjet printer and good, fairly heavy, mat stock. Print on both sides of the paper, so you have a real storybook.
