Digital scrapbookers, especially current or former Scrapblog users, please come in!
I used to use and LOVE Scrapblog for making photobooks and calendars. I loved the huge variety of content (was a little miffed when the paid content was introduced, but no biggie) and the print quality was amazing! I made 2 photobooks, 3 calendars, and a few cards. Now that I'm finally about to have my first child, of course you can no longer order from Scrapblog since they sold their company to Mixbook!
I've checked out Mixbook a little, but so far I'm not impressed.
Anyway, getting to my point, what digital scrapbook website and/or software do you use? And is there anyway I can view some of your work?

Mixbook sucks, you can not creat just one page, can't save your work (even as a low res file), and it is not as "user friendly" as scrapblog used to be.
that said, I have not found another option. I do have an inexpensive scrapbook program, it is OK - but not that great. So, I usually take some of their templates and fiddle around with it.
Their templates have a lot of cartoony graphics, which I am not really fond of.
The software is called "Scrapbook Factory Deluxe and it was probably about $20-$25.
I can't really share pics, since I use it almost 100% for my (almost) adopted son's "lifebook" - and I can't share his pics online or with strangers.
I an hoping someone else responds, because I would love something else.

I've never worked with the websites where you upload your photos but have worked with a few software programs.
My Memories Suite by Polaroid was the first thing I used and I was petty satisfied with it. Easy to use, can edit pics right in it, and it all exports right off to their printer and comes back in a well bound book. The only drawback I found was the image quality...it seemed to knock it down a notch but it has been well over a year since I've used them so they could have changed the printing.
Then I moved on to Photoshop Elements and now use Photoshop CS to scrapbook and do my own designing. Photoshop Elements is great if you don't want to invest a tone of money as you can easily find it for $80 or less and sometimes it is bundled with other great items. And you can use it for so much more than just scrapbooking - like editing your photos! (There are a lot of fun, free actions on the web for that!)
I send my pages off to be printed as scrappingsimply.com and love what I get back. And they are super friendly - helped me greatly with a memory box I worked on to ensure it was perfect - and it was!
My blog link is below and you can see my work there. I haven't yet had time to group them into a gallery but you should just be able to scan through the posts. If you need anything else, let me know!
