Scrapbooking  and related printables plus links to information, articles, resources. 
**Note these Scrapbooking resources are NOT in alpha order by site, they are more by "printables", first,
then Digital scrapbooking links, then articles, and other useful online resources - 


Creating Keepsakes.com - one of the best out there!
Excerpt quoted from site:

Hewlett Packard - HP which I have so many links to on each of the printables pages

Hewlett Packard has an online Album Maker!
Visit: My Album Maker
Excerpt quoted from website:
Create and print a photo album in minutes.
Choose a theme and style, and then insert your photos and captions.
You can even create a snapshot-sized brag book!
http://www.myalbummaker.com/

These are my own comments on this fun program:
You also have the option to email your albums - 
If you have photos on your harddrive, or on a cd - you're able to 
create album pages quick and easily for FREE!
The programs has nice page layouts, backgrounds, even photo corners
and the ability to caption your photos - cool program for FREE use!!
Be sure to :
Know where your photos are located, have the ones that you want  to comprise an album 
organized into one folder, it will make uploading and creating your album much easier.
Print out on acid free paper or photo paper and put in your albums.

This is a nice project  for a tea party - have someone take digital photos, 
dowload to your computer to one folder - name it TeaPartyPics
(or something that will let you know where you put them)
Then take the 10-15 best ones and use to upload to the Album Maker and
create album to email everyone, if your guests don't have email, 
then print out and make a small brag book for them as a souvenier of a tea-liteful afternoon.
http://www.myalbummaker.com/

Another option:
Visit Shared Ink - create online albums, then print 
(Sign up for FREE, hard cover albums that are printed are available for purchase)
Create & share an online scrapbook. Then make it a hardcover keepsake.
Excerpt quoted:
It costs nothing to get started, so sign up for your free membership today. 
You'll get a generous 50MB of storage capacity (enough for uploading over 100 high-resolution photos!).

    Unique Mini Scrapbooks You Can Make Yourself
    Article by Darcy Baldwin

    Note included in article above:
    A special note about paper bag albums:
    Paper bags are not acid-free, meaning that over time,
    they will break down much faster than acid-free, lignin-free papers. 
    They are also not as sturdy as a cardstock album. 
    So please remember to only use duplicate pictures when making your albums.
    Precious, one-of-a-kind photos can be printed out, 
    color copied at a quick copy shop or duplicated at your neighborhood photo lab.
