MamaBearTeacher Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Are you talking about electronic albums or physical photo albums? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linders Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Both. I plan to do 1-2 "family yearbooks" for each year, but any major vacation (e.g., our week in DC or Disneyworld) gets an album of its own - otherwise, it tends to dominate the yearbook. I use Blurb, and for the yearbooks use a larger album and for the vacation books use an 8x10. Hope that helps! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almondbutterandjelly Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I do one "yearbook" every year. It's usually around 40 pages. I do it through Shutterfly. All events, major or minor, go in there. Bigger events take more pages, but I don't mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThursdayNext Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I do one "yearbook" every year. It's usually around 40 pages. I do it through Shutterfly. All events, major or minor, go in there. Bigger events take more pages, but I don't mind. I do this too. I started when my 1st child was born, so my year goes November-October of the next year. Works well to finish the photo album in time to buy 3, and give 2 to grandparents for Christmas. By now the album is pushing 100 pages. It's not my fault we have cute kids! I do take out some pages of the in laws to give to my parents, and vice versa. I have done a special album for a couple big trips, when shutterfly has a free 8x8, just pay shipping. I still include the best pictures of that trip in the main album. If I had more money, and a ton more time and energy, and we could afford to, say, travel to Europe with a top notch camera, I would do more albums. ;) So basically I am happy to have just a yearly album, and am doing well to keep up with that. My husband insists that I keep the photos chronological within the album, and the years are on most of the spines. That way we can look up what our older ones were doing at 9 months, since our memories are unreliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matrips Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I like larger albums with everything in one place. I do it by years, and include vacation as part of it. Sometimes it means a first half of the year book and a second half for years where we have big vacations. I usually max out the shutterfly 110 page photo book. I'm years behind, but love that I switched to photo books a few years back, the captions make all the difference in the world to us. I include dates, names of places and people, and sometimes just fun comments. My goal is to help my kids remember all the cool things we've done!

MEmama Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I do Project Life. Everything goes in one album each year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Blurb, and for the yearbooks use a larger album and for the vacation books use an 8x10. Hope that helps! I sort of do it like this. I actually scrapbook most of my pictures, so vacations or events that have lots of photos get their own books. The rest go in regular albums.

Guest Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I would do a mixture of both--the family by the year, but events, or a theme-based scrapbook, that's good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
