Do you have a walgreens over there? Or maybe even try Photobucket. I think they do online printing orders. Do you have a color printer at home? You could also resize the printing to the size you want your pictures.

With my printer I can select the size I want my picture to print.....

You could also try Shutter fly.

Another thought, Not sure if you have these over there, but at the stores, Kodak has a little station where you can put your memory card in and print right then and there. They are super neet.

honestly, buy a photo printer! I bought mine on sale and it is GREAT! you can print pictures out any size or shape you want. It would be most handy when you have your lo and are taking pictures all the time. And cheaper in the long run.

yeh thats what I use at tesco and boots machines... or I order online at tesco.com!!

They have an option to order 8 mini photos (which is good to know when baby is here and Im writing my thankyou cards) but at £1.17 each and me thinks may be too small for scrapbooking!!

On photobucket the smallest size is 3.5x5 .... dont think thats inches... what do you work in?? xx

I think country variation is gonna come into this debate lol!!!

I really dont think it will be cheaper, and the quality in my opinion is not as good!!

Depending on how many you order we can get prints for as little as 5p per print!! !! Photo paper over here costs nearly that per sheet and then you have the ink on top!

Normally the size doesnt bother me... its just for my scrapbook

I think that is Inches... thats probably not what your looking for. You probably want more of 2x3 which would be the ability to have 2 pictures on one 4x6 paper. Like Ryder said, if you bought a photo printer you could do that.

I have a Kodak all in one and am totally in love. the paper and ink is great prices too....

Yes, perhaps country variation will play a part...

I have a canon photo printer and I paid around $100 (I guess 50UK dollars?) on sale for it. It works awesome and the quality is great as long as you buy good paper. Especially for things like scrapbooking, you can print and cut up and screw up as many as youd like.

But maybe we have photo printers more easily accesible and priced here... I dunno... lol

I'll ask my dad for you hun, he is into photography, he prints most of his own though, but he has a high tech computer and printer designed for pictures. I'l see what he says about the best size and any ideas of where to get it from
