For the past year or so, I've been scrapping, almost exclusively, using CTMH's Cherish™ and Imagine™ books. They each have 50 2-page layouts in them. Each layout includes a blueprint of the layout, a sample layout, suggested photo dimensions, and patterns for each sheet of paper used that show how to cut each one. Very easy to use! They have great layouts, and you don't spend tons of time deciding how you want to lay out each page/spread you're working on.
I've taken it a step further. I pick out the layout I'm going to use, then I go through my photos (on my computer) and find pictures that will work with the layout (# of photos, orientation of photos, etc.). Then, I resize using Adobe Photoshop Elements and upload to Costco.com for printing. When I'm ready to scrapbook, I just have to pick out coordinating paper & embellishments. This has really been working for me, and I've been able to get so much done!
