Baby book???

I need to start a life book for Libby Loo. I haven't had much luck finding a baby book that applies. There are a few great adoption baby books (used those for my big guys) but they won't work for a foster child.

Any ideas? What have you guys used? I don't really have the time to scrap, it would be much easier to just add text and photographs.

Have you ever heard of Creative Memories? They have traditional scrapbooking but they also have a book called a "picfolio" where you can put in pictures and then they have little spaces where you can slip in text. It's the easy way to scrap. You can go on their website, they have some pretty neat books that are like that. It's kind of pricey, but I usually like the finished products with CM.

snapfish.com or a digital scrapbooking program some as low as 30 are what I work with!! I do books for all my foster kids and it is simply, yet meaningful!

Try blurb.com they are a cheaper and you can choose to have just a photobook or one with photos and text....I am getting one together as a Christmas present to my parents. One full of photos of their grandchildren
