how does one scrap 450 pics in a single bound?

My family and I went to Washington State for a week this summer. Not surprisingly, I took a lot of pictures...like 450. Of course, not all of them were good, but I had a vision of multi-photo layouts, bright colors, and a very simple design.

I initially thought I'd do it digitally, then have it printed by Shutterfly or another similar printer. Then I realized it might be easier to use Apple's iPhoto book templates. I've made a book before with Apple and was really happy with the quality.

So I spent several nights per week over several weeks putting it all together...a total of about 250 pics made the cut. Then I got to the "Buy Now" part. My 85 page book cost $140. Yikes! So I haven't had it printed yet, but I can burn it to a DVD, which is what I plan to do until the money fairy pays me a visit.

Here's a few favorite pics from the trip.
