If you want to build the iPhoto Scrapbooking library the first time:
1.) Create the library and change your preferences to not copy files.
2.) Then go to wherever you have all your scrapbooking stuff. Hopefully you have all the product folders within one larger folder. Go to import. Highlight all the product folders and import. iPhoto will import everything within each product folder, creating an "EVENT" for each product folder and keeping the product folder name as the name of the "EVENT."
3.) Look in each "EVENT" and select the Preview and CTL+left click on it to get the drop-down menu and pick "Make Key Photo" -- now when you look at all events, you will see all the previews.
It is a good idea, by the way, to make sure you have preferences set not to copy files each time you import if you have multiple iPhoto libraries. You might accidentally change the setting when moving back and forth between different iPhoto libraries.
Now that I have written, proofread, and edited these instructions, I have a headache. Going to go have a nice cup of tea, or maybe a Glenfiddich, I think....
