Since our computer crashed, we lost ALL the pics I took from the beginning of my pregnancy and the only copies I have on them are the ones I uploaded to shutterfly. The images are optimized for web so the resolution wouldn't be high enough to print out and scrap the standard way.
I found a lot of cool sites that teach you how to use Photoshop to make the objects that would be used with paper scrapping (i.e. metal tags, rivets, wax seals and just PAPER) and I have to tell you that this is probably as time consuming as going the paper and scissors route.
That being said, I wanted to share a page with you. I'm not done yet because I haven't figured out what copy I want written in the blank box. I wish I could share the full size page so you could see some of the details of the objects I created (paper cutouts and wax letters) ...maybe I'll have Jens make it so I can upload the full 800x800 page onto our server. Here's the resized image though off shutterfly
If anyone has done or is doing this I'd love to see some pics of what you've done.

I don't have any advice as far as the scrapping goes, but I have to tell you that I absolutely love what you have done thus far. Beautiful

I found the gallery on that site that allows you to download all sorts of digitally produced scrapbook elements. (Wish I had know that yesterday instead of making that silly little eyelet on my own!) Here are some updated pages with some of the stuff I downloaded:

What a beautiful job. You and your baby will appreciate this in years to come. Wait till he has his first girlfriend come over and you show her the scrapbook .

Re: I decided to do a 9 month digital scrapbook!
Thanks everyone. Here's the final page until I get into my 3rd tri. I've pretty much showcased all the pics I like up until this point.
I'm just bummed that I can't print these and mount them into a book or something. I may do a random page with a pic of my pup just as a test print to see how it comes out.
