I have a dilema

Remember how I was almost finsihed with the books I want to have bound? Well today I was going through the layouts and organizing them, when I came across this:
I CLEARLY cannot put this awful page in my bound book, so I added it to my list of pages to redo (yup, there is a list). Only I can't find the .psd file OR the original photos! I am so depressed. :( What should I do? They are such cute photos, and I hardly have any of the kids laughing with Joel like that. But I am just embarrassed to death to "publish" it , if you will, in a book! I had my pictures backed up to a disk, but of course my computer can't read the disk. Bleh.

I finally had to shut the computer off this morning; I am not going to reach my goal of having their books ordered before Joel gets back. I cannot even decide which photobook company to use. I want to use Shutterfly because I have Wendy zine's resize actions and I have been happy with my SF purchases before, but they are SO expensive. I had planned to use Viovio, but they cut off too much of my page for me to use them again. they are just going to be such big purchases that i hate to risk it, kwim?

I finished this page last night:
I am not crazy about it, but I am glad to have it done. So if anyone has any bound book advice, let me know. Right now I am uploading our 2009 pictures to ScrappingSimply.com, and the next time they have a sale, I am ordering a whole mess of layouts!

  1. Does ScrapbookPictures.com send to overseas? Cuz right now they're having a sale. $1.99 for 12x12, $0.99 for 8x8 page. As for bound books, I am looking into Blurb.com b/c their rates are really reasonable if you have a big book with lots of pages. And they do 12x12 now! They didn't use to make square books. So I was going to the 13x11 book and just resize my pages to 11x11 and leave some white space on the insides. But now there's 12x12, so I don't have to anymore. I plan to get my Project 365 weekly pages bound in a book there. They also print blog books too!
