Creating a Digital Scrapbook Page with Google Picasa - Step 2

How much would the average scrap/memory book person spend on something like this 12x12 scrapbook page?
  • There are 11 separate pictures (11 4x6 prints x .29¢) = $3.19
  • 12x12 Cardstock= .50¢
  • Elements, Glue, Background paper=  $1.00
You are looking at spending an average of $4.69 on a simple 12x12 scrapbook page with 10 or more photo's.


Am I close?
Should we figure in the time it would take to order all of these prints, cut them, glue them, etc, etc?

The above digital layout took 1 minute and 22 seconds! 
all in Picasa

This is step 2 of our series on how you can create a layout in Google's Picasa.

  •  It is Free- It is Fast- It is Easy-

Best of all, it is ONLY $1.99 for a 12x12 super duper archival-
even waterproof- Persnickety Print on fuji crystal silver halide photo paper!
Everyone is doing it!
Do you have those friends that may want to "try digital" but don't want a huge learning curve-
You really need to tell them that there is a way out of digital darkness! :) This could change their lives!


See our blog post with Step ONE Here
Step 3 is in the works and will cover adding a paper background & ordering online!
Or visit our You Tube Channel for all Persnickety tutorials

Here is a Picasa Collage I have printed- notice how thin my "grid" is. For printing, the thicker your grid the better.
We work very hard to keep your borders and make them even. Our lab techs watch every single image and layout that is ordered.

I will bet $ that if you had an image with a thin border printed somewhere else, it would look just like this one on the bottom.




Here is the video tutorial for creating a digital scrapbook page with Picasa- Step #2.

I think $1.99 per page is great. But to be fair, we have to add $5 shipping fees as well to the total cost.

Most individuals think that electronic scrapbook is challenging to understand or you have to be a design artisan, but that is not the situation.
