I have a really cheap digital camera and an even cheaper memory card, so I've become really selective when taking photos. I have to ask myself if they are "scrap worthy" otherwise I delete them right away.

I have Snapfish print all the regular shots and just mail them to me and I'd put them in a regular photo album. So I didn't have to use my ink, paper & time. But they all seem so boring compared to my scrap pages. I figure years from now they will be fun to look at. But only a few pics of each shooting. I don't like to have too much of the same. I think of all the photo albums my mom has and I never get tired of looking at those pics. Everyone when they were much younger and when the styles were different. I don't think I can appreciate alot of my pics now, but will in the future.

I have seen digital photo frames advertised, and I think Oprah gave one away on her Favorite Things show a year or two back. I don't know how affordable they are, but I've often thought of hunting one down to send to my mom.

Great thread Julie!

I rarely delete any photos anymore- unless they are from a photo shoot or a bunch of duplicates. The reason: I've found that if I delete some photos then part of the "story" is missing- even if they're bad- they still tell a story.

Ex: I have a photo of DS from 2001 during his first Thanksgiving. I am comforting him on my lap. I deleted the previous 4-5 pictures and now I'm not sure why he was sad. I think he was just tired of getting passed around, but I can't remember for sure. It really helps me when I'm scrapping to have the context of other photos- even if they are blurry, etc.

I also date every LO. That way when my kids are older and want to see more photos from that day- we'll know exactly what file they are in!

I also have a slide show for a screen saver and run it off of my "favorite pictures" folder. Of course the digital frame thing would be too cool!

As far as LO's go-
Sometimes you want to use a great quote or scripture- just stick any cute photo with it!
You can arrange a bunch of small photos for a one month page or a seasons page or a year page. Here's an example from Scrap'n Girl :

Also, if you want to showcase some cute things that your child says- again just stick any cute photo with it- of course from the same era- LOL!

Kari showed me a digital picture frame one time. I think it was abt $2000, but it was really cool.
