School memories can be expensive! Don't let them!

One of my facebook friends just expressed her frustration on her wall about how expensive is to order school photo packages, even the most basic one can cost more than $30.
My thought on this is " ARE YOU CRAZY?"
I think that anyone can take beautiful pictures of their kids with their digital camera, and still create wonderful school keepsakes without having to deplete their bank account!
Use that money to pay for college!;)
You can make a cute scrapbook page for less than $5, and it is much more meaningful than a picture taken from someone that doesn't even know your kid!
If you look on my website, and search in the template gallery for the keyword "school", or  "elementary", or "yearbook" you will find lots of easy to use templates to create your very own school keepsake.
These are some of my favorites:
1st day:

 Template ID: 56459

Template ID: 513

Template ID: 40566
Aren't these just perfect to record their very 1st day?
Party pages:

School picture:

Template ID: 25743

  ABC page:

Template ID: 358

Last day of school:

 All these scrappages can be preserved in a beautiful post bound album. 

 Template ID: 64407

Template ID: 56458

Template ID: 39864

Template ID: 38561

Template ID: 37978
You can make one for each kid, or one for all, you choose!

You can also have fun creating a whole yearbook, especially if you have many photos.
You can ask for more pictures to the teachers, room moms, other parents that might have been there for parties and field trips etc.
Here are a few examples:

Back to school!

My first born started kindergarten yesterday, and he loved it!
I took tons of pictures and I chose the ones I like best to start his kindergarten yearbook!
It is going to be a year long project, but I am patting my self on the back for being on top of my game so that the book will be ready in no time when the schoolyear will end.
Creating a project like this for your own child is easy and mess free!
You don't need to cut anything, spread anything on a table, and even better, you don't need to put anything back when you are done with a page!
Everything is online.
You just upload your pictures, choose a template if you don't want to start from scratch, start your project, drag and drop your pictures, move things around if you like, and it really takes a few minutes! You can just take a couple minutes at a time after each event like field trips, picture day, parties, scan a few of your child's favorite drawings and project and it will feell like this school book is almost magically appearing in front of your eyes!^_^
You can sit on your recliner while watching TV while your children sleep, or while they are at school.

This is one of the advantages of digital!
Check the template gallery for the various school templates available, and let me know which one you like!
