Scrapblog - A mother's dream come true.



I was recently turned on to a site called Scrapblog. At first I was skeptical. I thought it would be like so many other "Scrapbook" sites out there, but I was wrong! I have 3, count em...3 digital scrapbooking programs on my computer that hardly ever get used. When I had my first son I really wanted to document his life with a scrapbook, but I'm not really that creative. Not to mention that cost involved in all the accessories that go into creating a custom scrapbook! Yikes!

So when Kristina from Scrapblog asked me to check it out I was curious. I wondered how this would be different from what I already had. When I want to create a page with one of my programs I first have to search through hundreds of templates. They are usually categorized, but still there are so many to choose from. It's nice to have the variety, but difficult to spend all that time searching. I'm a busy mom of 3 boys, I don't have time to waste. Once you do find a page you think fits the theme you have in mind, then you have to search for the picture you had in mind, wasting more time, then customize the page after you've added the picture! Phew! Too much work!!!

Here's how Scrapblog is MUCH better than whatever method you may be using:
  1. Select a kit. They have so many to choose from in a variety of categories
  2. Add your photos. You can add them from your computer or a website like facebook, flickr, picasa, photobucket and more.
  3. Instant results. They have something called Quick Mix that adds your pics to the ready made pages in the templates. All the work is done for you! You still have the option to change the pages if you want. You can add/delete text, backgrounds, shapes, stickers, frames and even videos!!! You heard me... videos!!!
  4. Then you have the option to share your scrapblog online or have it printed and sent directly to your mailbox!
They are truly genius! I have to say that I quickly created a scrapbook for Cutler in about 2 hours. It wasn't all at once, I wish I had 2 hours to sit down and create something! lol! If I had done it page by page (I have 29 pages so far) it would probably have taken me about 30 minutes per page. HOURS wasted! No more!

Click here to view Cutler's Baby Book. Let me know what you think! Try it out for yourself! You won't be disappointed!

The fun part...Kristina has given me a code to give out to one lucky HomemadeMom reader to win your very own Scrapblog Book!!!
