Question Scrapbooking In Calgary

Hey CP,

I'm looking to create a scrapbook with engagement and wedding photos for my wife for part of a Christmas present.

I've seen some pretty cool hard-cover books that people have created in the past, I have all the pictures (digital and hard print), now I'm looking for a place that will help me put these into a cool book that either is stock or I can customize or something...I'm not very good with these things so I'm wondering where the best place for this would be to go for help and doing this well/professional-looking.

Thanks in advance!

Costco has some pretty nice ones you can build online and pick up in store, but they're not the place to go if you're looking for someone to help you with ideas. Basically you have to fill in the template/do the design yourself.

PM me if you're looking for an individual that can help with layout and design and stuff like that. My neighbour does this as a hobby/home business and produces scrapbooks, photo albums and promotional materials for small businesses all over the city.

I just had one done from there. I'm not sure if they switched suppliers or what, but the books are nowhere close to as good as they used to be. I won't be getting any more from there.

Thanks for the heads up, my wife does one every year in January so I haven't seen a new one for awhile.
