Walmart can do it for you just check their file types that they accept. Otherwise you will have to save it under a jpeg file

Hi Anne,
You can scan the pages and save them to a jpeg or png format and upload to www.storybookjourney.com - open a free account - and publish with a company who offers heirloom quality assurance - printing as many copies as you wish - library bound - high quality printing. You can email me directly if you have any questions at aroddel@frontiernet.net. Thanks :)

I use CreativeMemories.com. I love that website and I even have the program downloaded to my laptop!

I used shutterfly for my last one but plan on using creative memories for my next

Thanks everyone for the ideas. I decided not to go with the hard bound book, and printed the pages individually to be put into an album. I was in a time crunch for a birthday and didn't have the time to have it bound. For my next one, I might give it a try. Thanks again everyone!

As a Heritage makers consultant I have access to scanning scrapbook pages and publishing them into hardbound storybooks. What size are your pages, how many do you have. Send me an email and I will answer all of your questions. stmartin67@cox.net my website is www.fotocreations4you.com

Costco has the best prices by far! If you are a member check them out before you order from anywhere else!

Have you tried Creative Memories Storybook Creator?

Thanks for the input re: ArtsCow shipping time. I think it took 3 weeks because it is around Christmas. Their forum posts indicate that 10 days is typical. Also, note that it takes 10 or so days for snapfish.com or others to get a book to you (production + shipping time) - check the fine print, cuz you DO pay more for fast shipping from any vendor! Thanks for the info - good to know!

I just received my first artscow book, the price was reasonable. It's stitch-bound and I am extremely happy with the quality, I will say it did take quite a while to receive the book. Since they are located in Hong Kong it took about 3 weeks to receive my book, also I had to use Paypal. Neither were an issue for me, but I know for others it may be a concern.

I am thinking of giving viovio.com a try next time, they have even better prices and have heard good things about them.

Several sites to evaluate yourself that I have heard are good:

artscow.com (VERY reasonable - check forum for recommendations - all folks seem to be very happy)

blurb.com - decent prices, but even moreso - SO professional! you download their software, then work on the book at your leisure (or use your choice of publishing programs and upload to them) - LOTS of pros use and help on the forums



I have had single scrapbooking pages printed very professionally and cheaply at Scrapbooks to Share (I think it is sbtoshare.com??)



of course, most commercial sites will let you upload your pages:

snapfish.com seems to be the best quality prints, and SmugMug is awesome quality but pricier



divinedigital.com & scrapgirls.com - digi scrappers and hybrid scrappers (print some pages digitally and do some "by hand"); sign up free to use their forum, get freebies, etc. ; forum members recommend products and services



hope this helps!
