Does anybody have some good alternative ideas to scrapbooking?
I have two kids, and with my first baby I was so faithful about scrapbooking her pictures...now, I have another little boy and it's so hard to keep up on it. I plan on having more kids too. I would like to have some ideas other than just boring photo albums, but something less complex and time consuming than scrapbooking. Any ideas?

1. get a cute little box and keep everything you would have put in a scrapbook in there, and then if you decide to later you can put it into a book2. I love shadow boxes; you can choose the most memorable photos and put them in a shadow box and hang it on a wall so everyone that comes in can see the growth in your kids.
3. Keepsake boxes, just simple photo albums, keeping a journal and writing in it weekly or monthly just talking about your baby's progress... all are sweet ideas.
4. I went to digital scrapbooking. I can't say if it is less time consuming than scrapbooking. However, it is alot less messy.
5. You can do a photo book at sites like shutterfly or walmart.com. There are several page formats and it can be as simple as one pic per page or several. You upload your pictures, put a caption and they print, bind, and send you the book.
Since I already had most of my baby's pics on my computer, it only took a couple hours for me to create a book to capture his first year moments. I plan on doing it every couple years and give it as a bday gift to him.
