After you are done your layouts..

I am still LOL'ing at that gif and it's connotations.

P.S. I know you're not dumb! You're adorable and hilarious and I love you.
 
I print all my layouts at Persnickety. I have 3 full albums of prints, plus at least another album's worth sitting on my computer waiting for a sale.
 
I love getting my pages printed! I print a bunch through Persnickety 3 or 4 times a year and put them into albums by year. I do vacations as photobooks, usually when I have a coupon for a free Shutterfly book or Adorama has a good sale.

i print them and fill books for my kids with them, then i take trips down memory lane every few months by going through them <3
 
Since Cole turned one I have printed a book a year. The only thing I have technical problems with is I have to remember to date the page when I make it. Other wise I forget when the picture was taken. Yeah you can tell the season but, when your like me it has to be orderly. Now I have started Cade's also but, he's only five months old so I can't print his until next year :) I only do 8x8 books. I have very limited space.
 
I am 3 pages away from having my DD 2013 done, and then I will have three Christmas albums from PrestoPhoto (formerly Viovio).

Otherwise, my 1000s of layouts are just sitting on my computer. They always fall to the bottom of the spending money list. One day, one day...

I usually print albums at Shutterfly or Picaboo.

I also have a number of pages of favorite memories that are my wall art. I love seeing these every day.

I like the way the printed albums look but I've been debating having pages printed and putting them in albums in case I want to add a page in the coming years.

For instance, over the years we have taken the oldest nephews to various mini golf places. We try to make this a "stop" if we are on a road trip or family vacation which means we end up playing mini golf at different places in different states. We've been doing this since they were quite young. I thought it would be fun to make a mini golf travel album but we have been continuing the tradition into the teen years so I don't really want to print an album since we will continue to want to add to it. I should check out Persnickety.
 
I have barely printed anything ::shamefaced:: i keep meaning to and then i think of all the layouts to print and get overwhelmed.

I'm thinking sometime this summer to print out a book of layouts last year and then start working down, as opposed to starting from layouts back in 2006.

I make photobooks - a family album for each year (which I'm mostly up to date with), books for my boys (which are very long works-in-progress, about 3 yrs of their lives to a book (I haven't finished any yet as I don't scrap those pages chronologically)) and I've started a 'Holiday' book covering all our trips over many years, which are few and far between, and always very short, so hence that book is also a WIP. So basically, I don't print stuff very often!!
 
I print my layouts at Persnickety and put them into albums here. There are albums for my daughter, my son and for me. I also have a places we go for travel, people we love for family and friends and a heritage album with stuff about my grandparents and my parents when they were young. I do mini-album for each holiday season, too. The last time I printed was last October. I really need to sort out and print some more.
 
I am TERRIBLE at printing. I haven't printed anything out for YEARS! I really want to, but now there are so many that it will cost me a bomb! I do have a bunch of empty albums, waiting for pages to be printed. :)

Also, I bought 50 12x12 credits at Persnickety Prints thinking that I could use them for 8x8 too ,which is what I want to print, but they can ONLY be used for 12x12. So if anyone is interested in buying my 12x12 credits from me, that would be awesome! I have 50 prints @ $1.75 each, so $87.50 for all of them. PM me if you are interested. If not I will have to find a way to use them somehow. :)
 
Around 100. I use an Australian company which is a little pricey so I try to be fairly strict about how many pages.
 
I print them...eventually. I've never scrapped chronologically and have hundreds of paper layouts, so I mix the digi layouts in with them. I have to say that I'm pretty random with printing and putting them in albums, until my sons graduate. Then I'm all about getting those albums ready for display! ;) I will probably never be caught up on all my pics, but I just have to not worry about that and be happy with the pics I do have scrapped.

And I have to say, I would LOVE to have nice, thin photo books on my shelf instead of humongous, heavy albums, but it is what it is.
 
I print them too, so far I have 21 12x12 books (chronologically since DS was born 2004) and 8 8x8 random that are usually the free ones from Shutterfly but I have way more LOs yet to be printed, guess I can scrap faster than I can print LOL
 
37 albums, May 2006-October 2012. One of those is our wedding album, I went back & scanned all the pics. The one album on the left is print 12x12 layouts from May 2005-April 2006. This is why I love the books, they take up no space.

I have printed 4 books, 3 of which were gifts for grandparents. The book I made that I kept for my family, is of the first two years of my daughter's life. The rest of my stuff that I create, I am sorting in file folders according to the book it will go in to. I have one for my son, one for my daughter, one for myself, and a PL book. I name most of my images in the following format so that they are super easy to keep in order: YYYY-MM-DD Title (or by Week XX for my project life album). Then everything is sorted in the order of when the event took place so when it does come time to create a book, it will be easy! Hopefully!

QUESTION:
For those of you who have printed books and individual layouts that you put in page protectors and in a binder, have you found that one is more cost effective than the other??
 
Books are much cheaper in the long run. And they take up less space. That was my main reason for switching to books. But I'm a chronological printer, I just make my albums based on month/year. if my kids want their own pages when they're older, i still have them, but for now everything is together.

I think most prints are around $1 for an 8x8. I can do a 160 page book at prestophoto.com (used to be viovio.com) for about $95, that's for an 8.5x8.5, but they have options that are as cheap as $62, depending on the cover and paper you chose.

This post motivated me to upload a bunch of layouts to Persnickety on Sunday. They are already one the way here! I printed 173 layouts in 12x12, 8x8 and a few 6x8 for my 2012 Holiday Album.

I print photobooks annually. Occasionally, I print and frame individual pages too (once or twice a year, usually given as gifts).
 
99% of my layouts are intended for photobooks (certain vacation, trip, photo session, baby's diary). So I get them printed.

Once a book is printed, I burn the whole folder with PSD, exported JPEG, thumbnails and the book file to DVD / BluRay.
