I am interested in putting together a scrapbook for my little guy which will cover his first year. I would like recommendations for any scrapbooking sites you have used and liked. Thanks!
I also use shutterfly.com. I have been really happy with the product and the ease of use. I know my brother has used Kodak to do some cool calendars.
I Like Shutterfly a LOT. You can also use a seperate program on your computer such as Photoshop Elements or Creative Memories Storybook and create pages, then load them as jpgs to Shutterfly IF you want to do more creative individualized pages but it's not necessary. I often do a combination of both.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them!
Creative Memories, without a doubt. I've been scrapbooking for years and years - mostly traditional scrapbooks (the paper kind that you put together by hand), but lately, I've found that I can get scrapbooks done much faster digitally.
Anyway, in terms of price, Creative Memories is pretty competitive (and on the bright side, you can work with a consultant - mine has been dynamite - soooo helpful!), and they have a lot more layout, color and style choices than other sites I've tried (iPhoto, Shutterfly, etc.). Don't get me wrong, the quality of iPhoto and Shutterfly have been quite good, I just wanted more options since scrapbooking is more of a hobby for me. I also really like my CM consultant and have really valued her advice. My books look like they were professionally designed. :)
LOVE Shutterfly.com!!! I've made dozens of scrapbooks! My SIL's mom does Creative Memories and I tried it once. I did not like the program and it was 3x more expensive than Shutterfly!
I love Shutterfly. They have TONS of ways to do a page and if you wait for a sale you can get a substantial discount. I've made both my kids books for them last year and have ongoing books for them this year now too. Much better than real scrapbooking.
If you have a Mac, iPhoto has really good book software. They have the most options for page layouts and their books turn out really good. If not, Shutterfly would be my next choice. Their quality is great. Snapfish is ok, but I don't like the quality of their photo books. I have heard that the Walmart books turn out really well, but I have not used them.
