Finished my 1st mini album--Riu Palace Mexico Resort

Below are scanned copies of the mini album. This was my 1st attempt to make a whole album just about one topic. Usually I have scrapbooked only 12"x12" size pages, but this time, I had so many photos that spoke to me that I knew I could not just pick 1-2 photos to summarize the entire trip. I print all my photos at Scrapbookpictures.com
because they have the best selection of sizes that are non-standard, and a multitude of digital borders and overlays you can customize over your photos (not to mention, customer service is amazing too). I don't print every photo from my memory card. I select only specific photos and their sizes with the type of layouts I have planned for them. For me, this method really decreases clutter, all those doubles, and extras that I have nothing to do with, not to mention that I ran out of storage space (my scrapbooking supplies have seeped into every corner of the guest bedroom). At least the digital picture originals are very well organized in my iPhoto, so if I ever need something reprinted I know where to find it.
I loved making this mini album - a summary of the entire trip. Even more special for the fact that it was our 1st Caribbean getaway as a family, and Omar's 1st experience seeing the ocean, and the pool, well...he had a lot of firsts here.
