Aloha! This is Tami Morrison for Big Picture Scrapbooking, and I am here to send you on vacation. No, not to a fabulous private island with a beach front cropping villa and an endless supply of colorful umbrella drinks…I wish! But the vacation I'm sending you on is almost as calming. It's a vacation from the stress of scrapbooking your travel photos. You won't find this trip listed at Travelocity or Expedia, you can only book it right here at Big Picture Scrapbooking.

We all take way too many photos on vacation, don't we? We've got to make sure we get that good shot of the once-in-a-lifetime experience for the whole family altogether, the landmark or scenery, so we take dozens of pictures at every stop and before we know it we're back home with a memory card as full as the laundry chute, feeling obligated to put all those photos in an album. We feel this unrealistic pressure to create something fabulous enough to match the memories, and maybe even the expense of the trip, and I don't know about you, but that usually means my photos sit there for a long time while I feel overwhelmed and procrastinate.

Well, I'm here to tell you that there's a very doable way to get the highlights of your vacation into a fun mini album quickly, like we're talking in a single weekend or less. The project doesn't skimp on style, but it does streamline the process from paring down and choosing your photos to designing your pages to including memorabilia. I'll show you how I highlighted my favorite memories from three very different vacation scenarios, an 18-day whirlwind trip that included Washington D.C., Baltimore, Virginia, Disney World, and a crazy amount of pictures…a day trip by train, and an overnight camp out in the backyard. Times are tough on the vacation budget, right? Sometimes you have to do a camp out in the backyard instead of a trip to Disney World. I will also show you the world's biggest vacation album. Okay…maybe not officially according to Guinness or anything, but seriously, this thing is huge, and I will tell you want I leaned from that experience. Do you want a hint? If your vacation album weighs almost as much as your five-year-old child, no one is ever going to pull it down to look at it. And just in case you're worried about what to do with the fabulous shots that don't make the cut for this project, I'll give you some great ideas for using your extra photos in ways that they will be admired and enjoyed.

So sign up now and hop aboard…our destination is freedom from vacation photo stress and procrastination. This, my friends, is BIG!
