I just placed an order....

[Julie DeGuia]

...for 147 (12x12) prints at Scrapping Simply. I cannot wait to get them in my hands and in an album so I can sit down with the kids to look through them. They see what I'm working on all the time on the computer screen but it will be fun to see all the layouts "in real life!" I have been fairly motivated recently in my scrapping, but getting these will put even more "fuel-on-the-fire" I think!

And I still have 118 print credits... and way more than that to print! Fun stuff!

[carollee]

Would love to be a fly on the wall when the package arrives, your kids will be jumping out of their skins.

[anke]

It is so much fun when that little package arrives and you can sort all those pages into your albums. I love it!!! The kids will have a ball looking through them all

[LoriS]

What a FUN package to open!!! I can't wait to order my next bunch too!

[grandma lynnie]

What fun you and your children will have opening that package!

[dugarner]

It's posts like these that nudge me closer toward printing pages and using traditional books instead of buying the bound photobooks. The huge down side for me is waiting all that time after I've finished the pages to see them printed---sometimes I only print once a year.

I can't imagine having that many pages to print! Wow! How many layouts do you do in a month? Send some of your mojo my way.

[earlofoxford]

It's always fun to hold those pages in your hand and relive the moments.

[oswegograd]

Those are the best packages to get!

[Jen D]

I have 80 pages on their way I try to print every other month or so... I haven't ordered pages since May so I am a little backed up. Those include pages for my 365.

I don't know what I would do without print credits and having the ability to by bulk when they have sales

It is so fun to have them in the albums and off the computer!

[janedee]

Fun stuff for sure!! Seeing your pages IRL is a treat!!
Thanks for the reminder, I have a bunch of credits on hand and haven't ordered since last winter!

Well.... since starting digital scrapbooking 2.5 years ago I have only printed out around 35 pages... so I have quite a lot of pages waiting to be sent off! :-) I am trying to take a last look at some of the older ones b/c I wasn't as careful in my proofreading when I first started.

[anxela]

Woho! I'm going to do an order this weekend, I think.. Trying Persnickety now, to compare with ScrappingSimply.

[maureenreynolds]

I think it's Christmas and Birthday time all together when one of those packages arrives. I usually use credits when I have about 50. When the package arrives my heart goes aflutter!

Is Persnickity having their sale now? I still have credits but need to make an order again.

[Kayleigh]

So excited for you - it is always exciting to see our work in our hands from the screen!

I got an e-mail saying Persnickety was having a 25% off sale Nov 3, 4, & 5.

[js_74]

Oh how exciting!!! Does it take very long to upload to them all?? I'm thinking of printing all my 12x12s with them (they're so cheap, even with postage added on to Australia). Have fun when that package arrives!!!

[Janet1949]

Where do all you guys get your folders/books to put the loose pages in....

[carollee]

I'm going to have a go with Persnickety this time after reading the responses to posts recently that the Persnickety lady replied to, I was most impressed. I actually uploaded a number of pages the other night Jenelle and it didn't take long at all, less time than uploading to shutter fly (for me).

Janet I've only gotten books printed before so recently was the first time I got some 8x8 printed for my mum from Scrapping Simply, it was lovely to get these individual pages. I see you can get a lay flat book to put the layouts in from Persnickety too. So I'm going to give this a go this time.

I believe the lady from Persnickety used to work for Scrapping Simply so I don't think you can go wrong with either on quality. If you wait for the quarterly sales (there is one going on right now at Persnickety) the 12x12 pages are $1.49 each and the 8x8 pages are $0.74 each.

This probably doesn't help with you living in Australia, but I get my "lay flat" slip-in albums from the local craft store.

I am still waiting for my pages to get here - so excited!

[anke]

plus with the sale you can pre-order prints if you don't have anything ready right now. THat's the way I always go! Well, I have done it with SCrapping Simply, so I hope Persnickety does the same kind of deal... checking it out later

[carollee]

Yes, I see it does Anke, I might do that too.

[js_74]

Thanks Carol, is shipping around the same price as Scrapping Simply? Let me know how they turn out....

[Julie DeGuia]

I just got my order from Scrapping Simply today - LOVE seeing my layouts in person. Great quality and the colors look great. I have to say I compared one to a duplicate layout I had printed at Costco last week and the one from Scrapping Simply was better - not by a lot, but definitely better. And for half the price... can't beat that!

I have to say the customer service is great with this company - I got a sweet little note about my layouts and even though the shipping was over $12 (147 layouts shipped together is heavy) they have a flat rate of $5 for shipping.

[kcar08]

Wow, that must have been so cool to get them back! I love receiving packages like that.

Jenelle, Persnickety is flat $5 shipping as well. I ordered some prints from them a month ago and they turned out great.

[carollee]

Jenelle is in Australia, it is $10 flat rate for international by memory.

[kcar08]

Sorry, yes, I checked and it's $10 International shipping, $5 to Canada.
