You've already done all the hard work... now sharing it with others is easily within your grasp.

I have to brag about this. They are just so wonderful! Look what I did for a baby album. Imagine what yours will look like.

You even get to design your own cover.

Notice that since I designed my cover with a white border, it looks as though the page wraps around the whole book.

Your digital pages will be printed on archival-quality 80# paper and bound into elegant custom real book hardcover books.

Books of your design.

The example pages below are all digital scrapped pages I did for my new grandsons baby album. It was so easy. I just saved them on my home computer at 300 dpi. Then burned a CD for the printers.

Note: If you hand scrap your pages, that's OK. We have that solved solved for sizes less then 9" wide and are working on the larger formats. It's all in the instructions below.

Notice the great print quality, especially in the large photo of me and my two granddaughters holding their new little brother. Click on the image for a larger view. No retouched or professional photo's here, I just shot these with my own digital camera. I was so excited... I couldn't wait to show them off to everyone.

Archival-quality, 80# glossy-finish paper ensures that your pictures will look great for years. And, as you can see, we print them as double sided pages. That way they can be matched sets if you want.

You can give these as personalized gifts for any occasion. It will be the best gift you have ever given. Imagine the wedding album or baby book that you could do?

What a treasure for your grandchildren or your kids when they are older...

If you have any doubt about your image quality... e-mail us an example of one of your finished pages and we'll put it to the test at no cost.  We really want to help.

One last note:

Don't worry if you don't do digital pages or don't have a scanner... we have that solved for the 8.5" pages in the detailed instructions.  12x12 and larger scrappers have three options.

1. Scan your pages in two parts on a standard scanner and use software to stitch the two parts together.  Time consuming, but with quality software, you can't tell it was ever more than one piece.

2. Kinko's and many specialty professional print shops have large format scanners.  The only problem with this solution is that it may be a little pricy per page.  Of course when you consider the cost in both time and materials to hand scrap the book again... it may be really cheap.

3. This last possible solution is only for the people into digital still photography.  With the right lighting and a good tripod, you could photograph each page with a 3 mega pixel or better digital camera.  Just remember that the final quality of your RealBook Scrapbook™ is only as good as the digital images we receive.

We really are working on more solutions for you... so stay tuned.  If you're on our newsletter, we'll get you the updated materials just as soon as we work out the details.

So, what are you waiting for... go get started on your first Real Book Scrapbook (Hardbound Scrapbook).

Thanks in advance
