I try to be a crafty, DIY type of gal but I have to admit, my heart belongs to the Internet and my trusty laptop. I probably would really enjoy making my own photo scrapbooks if I could just tear myself away from my Flickr account long enough to print some of my pics. But thankfully, Scrapblog has made me realize I shouldn't be ashamed of my Internet addiction, but that I should nurture it.

Why? Cause I can just as easily make my photo scrapbooks online with Scrapblog's easy to use service, plus I can get my creation out to more people since I can embed it on my blog, or send links to my friends and family. And hey, I'll even save a few trees in the process. To hear how Scrapblog works, just read more.

Similar to TeamSugar's photo album feature, Scrapblog allows you to upload your favorite photos from your desktop, or from a number of photo hosting sites, add some text, videos, and customize your pages just the way you want. You can change backgrounds, add stickers, change fonts, and even edit your photos right in Scrapblog. The best part? Yup, it's all free, so instead of spending a fortune on scrap booking supplies, I can spend my dough on other things. . . you know, like a new laptop bag, or apps for my shiny new iPhone.

Remember when I told you about the cool online scrapbooking site called Scrapblog? Photobucket liked it so much that they've teamed up to bring you a Scrapblog app right in its photo-hosting site. So alongside your albums, slideshows, and videos, you can customize your own scrapbook with all those digital photos you've been storing!

There's tons of templates to choose from, and even a few from your favorite shows like Ugly Betty, Samantha Who?, and the juggernaut of teen movies, High School Musical. Finally, my niece can do something with all those Zac Efron photos she's been collecting.
