How many pages??

[sjms71]

I'm fairly new to scrapbooking. I'm working on my first disney album. I don't want to go overboard. So, my question is how many pages, on average is everyone's disney scrapbook?

Sorry I can't help...I go overboard each trip and my "scrapbook" ends up in volumes.

I use post bound albums so that I can add or remove pages as needed. From there, I go through my photos and try to put together which ones I want to include. That can give a fair guess about how many pages you need.

I go way beyond overboard. My son has two scrapbooks for his first two years and I have been doing three the last three years. My disney book is probably the smallest, I did about 75 pages I think

Bad question for me too, my disney albums usually end up in volumes also... I have even started just doing themed Disney albums so one album for one park, or event.

but other albums that i have done have had anywhere from 30-60 pages

There isnt a right or wrong amount to have in an album but then again I tend to be one of the scrappers that does my trips by volumns.

I say when its done, that is how many pages it is.

I have 90 pages done far for 6 of our 7 day trip. So l probably am not the one to ask!

 

[sjms71]

Thanks everyone, I take it from everyones posts they have several trips scrapped in one album? Cause you all have me worried with the 75 and 90 pages. I have 12 pages done (a few more to go) just with last September's trip.

I don't typically put my trips in a separate album (but I do them multiple times for my kids). I know. A lot of extra work, but I'd like my kids to have their own pictures. I wish I had them from the trips of my youth. But I digress... In my album, I probably have about 12 pages as well. The kids get a little less. I hope that helps.

Well....let's see our 14 night DCL Panama Canal cruise in May 2005 + 4 days at Disneyland afterwards = 150 pages so far....and I'm only have 9 days of our cruise done and I haven't even started the Disneyland part....I'm probably not the best person to ask...

I'm glad I'm not the only one- I have 90 pages from 6 days! But I couldn't leave anything out of our first family trip to WDW! I have to say that I had over 800 pictures and 168 were Photopass, so I am actually in the pictures, too! It has been the most fun scrapbooking so far!

 

[Mickey&JoshNut]

I'm glad I'm not alone....I am hoping I can finish the cruise part in the 3rd album I just started, I am going to use the DCL scrapbook for the actual Panama Canal day and my Disneyland albums for Disneyland.

I had a hard time "editing" the pictures because they all turned out so well...even the ladies at my photolab mentioned that they were very few "bad" photos....I personally took over 1,500 pictures - over 200 from our voyage through the Panama Canal itself....and was sent CD's of pictures from fellow cruisers so I think all total I ahve over 5,000 pictures from this trip of a lifetime.

I try to use my scrapbooks more as a "photo album" as I have some pages with no journaling because the pictures speak for themselves....

I will have 42 pages from the Disney portion of our 6 day trip, but I still need to scrap the beach pictures and Sea World pages! We only spent 3 days at Disneyland and I managed to milk 42 scrapbook pages out of it.

I think we're all a bit obsessed on this board so we might not be the best ones to ask about going overboard.

 

[daisyduck123]

I always do a new Disney scrapbook (I buy a WDW album at my resort) for each trip. I make sure each trip will fit in ONE album...I can't see doing multiple scrapbooks for one trip. I just make myself pick out the best pics & go with those.

I usually have to add about 4 or 5 extra pages to one Disney album & then my book is complete. For our last trip though, I managed to fit the entire trip in one album without having to add any extra pages.

 

[ncmomof2]

There is no magic number. Just decide on how much money and time you have for the project and go from there! I personally do not scrap every picture I take. I just pick the best and organize then by layouts before I print. Good luck!

The only Disney album I actually have finished was for a 3 day trip with just my dh (no kids along). Right now, everything is crammed into one album, using post extenders. It looks terrible. I know I'm going to have to split it up, but there's no natural place for doing it. As I was sketching ideas for an album for our last trip, I tried to find natural breaking places for separate albums. We had just gotten a digital SLR and took tons of wonderful pictures of the kids. I just don't want to leave any out.

which one? I take way too many pictures.. I made a mistake on my last disney book and combined 3 trips so it took me 4 books to get all my pages in.. I just started my trip from March and I figure that I can get it all in 2 books.. Right now Im just doing the pages and then will figure out which ones go in which book.. Sad thing is I have another trip in September to DisneyWorld and I plan on taking tons of pictures.. Not sure what Im gonna do about those yet..

Hah!! I've got all of ya'll beat. 2 weeks at xmas, after deleting the bad pics we have 5000 pictures. And yes, I feel the need to scrap them all.... I'll probably finish it in, oh, about 20 years.....
dH is camera happy but that's ok I use it as an excuse to by more scrap stuff.

As for finished albums, forget it, I'm still working on the 2004 trip and I have 4 trips in 2005 I haven't even printed yet.
