Digital Scrapbooking

I am three pages away from being finished with 2009 in my Digital Scrapbook. I am really proud of it, and have enjoyed the process. Once I finish those three pages I can order the book and display it and show it off, and know that I do print off pictures instead of just keep them on my computer.

Then I realized that I didn't want to do any more 12 X 12 size. So then I was faced with the quandary...do I finish this one off in 12 X 12 and then had different sizes? I'm a little too obsessive about that. So I spent today changing all my 12 X 12 finished pages into 8.5 X 11 pages. I have 12 pages left to do...and I did 43 pages today.

I went from this:
To This:
I just had to share one of my favorite pages I did so far:
I love the pictures and that I'm doing a great job of putting papers together and using different elements. I don't really love tons of extra stuff on a page and only one picture with hardly any journaling. (If that's your style, GREAT! It's not mine.)

It's been fun to go back through them all, and make minor changes, but I'm ready to be done and order the book. Is anyone else obsessive enough to go and change the size of your scrapbook so it will match the rest on the book shelf?

This obsessive trait also extends to series...if I buy the first book in a series in paperback--the rest will be in paperback. If I start a series in hardback then I finish it in hardback. When the author changes the art style on the books half way through the series, I have a really hard time. The Bug Hero laughs at me and then says that it makes it that much harder for him to buy me books. Not only does he have to find a new book for me but he has to find one that matches.......
