I must agree that your first page was fantastic!
To answer your digital question, there are many options available. I'm a CM consultant, so I only use CM's Storybook Creator software. You can make three different size scrapbooks/pages (7", 12" & 11x8-1/2). You can either do a complete book or have individual pages(the 7" and 12") printed at the CM Photo Center which you can add to a traditional or PicFolio scrapbook, or place in a Page Frame. They are also going to introduce Poster Prints in two sizes soon.
I know that you can purchase a printer that will print 12" pages, but I'd much rather save the expense of another printer and send out to have it printed.
I hope this helps! I'm sure that others will tell what they do.
Good luck, and keep up the good work!
