Hybrid Scrapbooking Photo Books - Adding a CD Pocket

The actual back cover of the book is a nice stable surface for adding pockets to hold additional memorabilia and a CD pocket to hold a CD of additional photos and video from the event. For step by step instructions with photos for creating a CD pocket read "CD Pocket for Scrapbook Pages." You could also use photo tape and heavy cardstock to make a huge pocket that could hold maps, tickets, and other items that you picked up that you would like to keep with this book.

The completed book is was much faster to put together than a completely traditional, paper scrapbook, and yet it still retains a home-made and personalized feeling. The cost also compares very favorably to traditional scrapbooking since the $19.99 that it costs to have the book printed includes printing all of the photos. I especially love the full-page photos that I included on several pages in the book giving it a coffee-table travel book feel. I hope that this inspires you to try combining both digital and traditional scrapbooking in a new way.
