How Fast They Grow
I have been diligently scrapbooking since before my first child was born over four years ago. And when I say diligently, I mean rarely does a day pass by without completion of a page or two. However, with three children now, I am so far behind that I cannot imagine how I will ever catch up. Unless I stop taking pictures. Probably not gonna happen.
If only there was a way to just drag and drop my digital photos into some fabulous pre-designed layouts and have them shipped right to my door. *sigh*
Well, how about that! Cathy Bennett, a mommy of two and a self described “scrapbooking drop out,” came up with the perfect idea to help all you “non-scrapping” types as well as all you “overwhelmed with too much to scrap” types, create beautiful baby books with a minimum of fuss.
Her website, How Fast They Grow, has over 100 pre-designed 12×12 templates, all beautifully designed with fabulous patterns and yummy colors. All you have to do is drop in your pictures and add your own words. Sound too good to be true? There’s more! Links to your completed pages can be shared with family and friends online for free and you can order hard copies of your pages a few or a bunch at a time to be sent right to your door, building your baby book gradually right along with the growth of your little one.
The quality of the printed product is impeccable. The cardstock is sturdy, the photos look crisp, clear and bright, and the colors on the page just pop. The entire look is incredibly striking.
Cathy has created the perfect solution for people like me, who enjoy scrapping their own albums, but just can’t seem to get a handle on the volume of pictures! What a relief to just drop a few pictures into her stunning layouts and have them appear at your door, perfectly crafted and ready for display. And for those who dream of a beautiful handmade baby album but lack the confidence in their creativity or who just can’t find the time, this is simply a dream come true!
The award winning website, How Fast They Grow, is gaining in notoriety and popularity. Their over 4,400 members say they are “addictive” and they’ve even come to the attention of some recent celebrity clients such as Cindy Crawford, Dayna Devon and Samantha Harris.

great tip – awesome pages. I love the idea of digital scrapbooking but never found anything I liked – this is awesome. My ‘baby’ is now 5 years old but we still have all of his baby pix on my computer. I am going to do this & finally START and FINISH his album.
