Hmm, that's a good idea! I don't know... they aren't usually the kind of thing we find at discount prices... they never go out of style;) I think we're bringing in American Crafts soon, we could get some of theirs but couldn't offer a huge discount?

Jennifer, I know what you mean... and the American Crafts 12"x12" page protectors that hold six 4"x6" photos front and back are perfect for me. I make the layout, then put the photos in the album with it so the photos are together but I don't have to scrapbook 42 pages of the same event! A pretty sneaky cheater method...I love it!

I would say the Clip it Up is worth it...be sure to find it on sale though. The nice thing about having so much of your stuff on it is that you can really see what you've got and use it. I don't have to count on my memory to recall things I bought a year ago... BTW I made the coconut cupcakes tonight, I'm gonna frost them in the morning... so far, super yummy!

Hey Jennifer, I would LOVE a wide format scanner... but those buggers are expensive and I am always photographing product anyway... so I haven't taken the plunge. I have two photography lights, meaning they are super bright tungsten bulbs in telescoping stands with reflecting shades. I point them at the ceiling to diffuse the light a bit, and set my cameras white balance setting to florescent. I lay out product or layouts or whatever on a 24"x24" white canvas (the cheap kind you get at a craft store to paint on.) I hate to admit most of the magic is done in Photoshop. I clean up the outside edges and make them white then color correct the layout. Oh... and I am right there with you on the OCD, organizing and re-organizing is my FAVORITE part of scrapbooking!

Alright Peggy... I swear I won't go look at them if you just tell me which blogs to go look at...ummm... I mean avoid. I don't know what celluloid photo albums with cabinet cards are... but I'm about to go find out!
