How much time does it take to make a scrapbook album?

Do you have 9 minutes? Then you have a scrapbook.

My first scrapbook took 17 months. I wasn't a slow poke. I found that it's a long undertaking for others as well. In fact, many don't even finish. If someone had told me that I would be able to whip out a scrapbook in 9 minutes, I would have said she was crazy, insane, out of her mind.

But if you watch my video above, you see how that's done. It's the same way busy, time-harried, efficient families get tons of things done. Delegate. In this case, that means: let the software do most of it for you. The software I use is called MemoryMixerâ„¢. After I create an album with it, I send it to online photo shops and get a beautiful coffee-table album back. If I'm just doing a couple of pages, I print them on my desktop printer. Or save it till I have a complete album to turn into a book.

Try it, you'll love what a snap it is to create scrapbook albums with MemoryMixerâ„¢.
