I scrapbook. I am way behind with my projects. Recently I decided to try going digital on a project for my nephew's high school graduation. My sister lives 4 hours from me so it's not easy getting together to share pictures on a project. Shutterfly, Inkubook, How Time Flies and Snapfish all allow you to create bound albums. Since just a traditional album averages around $20 and stickers, paper and stuff can add up to around $10 for a two page spread I figured a $50 digital album would actually be saving money. Most of my pictures since 2002 are digital so it's easy to get them uploaded. My sister uploaded her pictures and I was ready to start. 
I wound up picking Shutterfly and picked a 12x12 custom album. The layouts vary from one picture that takes up the entire page to a collage of around 8 pictures. When you upload an album they automatically put a 7x9 book together and let you preview. These are pictures from one of those albums. I didn't have to do anything but upload and change the background design. These little books look great. All you have to do is drag a photo from the bottom photo strip and drop it in place to make changes and it's easy to change the layout. If you want to get fancy you can do a scrapbook page with Photoshop and upload that as a full page. I broke down and bought Memory Makers software to help me with that. Haven't tried it out yet.
Maybe I'll buy a regular photo album for this year and stick a bunch of these little $12.00 Shutterfly books in it!
