There are tons of good message boards out there that will help you. Scrapgirls is a very good one that comes to mind. They also have online tutorials for some of the software. Check them out!

Rather than recommend a book, I recommend the following software: Scrapbooks Plus by Ideasoft. You can purchase the CD at Best Buy for $9.99 or less. You load it onto your computer, it comes with a tutorial and there are endless options for you to choose from. It is very easy to use. Create and print!

Also, have you considered photo books from sites like My Publisher, Kodak Gallery or Snapfish? They have different pre-planned layouts for you to choose from and you can create real quality books! Costco gives a discount if you go through their site to use My Publisher. I have gotten many comments on the photo books I’ve made – they look like coffee table books and they’re just as much fun to put together. Have fun!
