We used a similar online scrapbooking-type site for our wedding last year, and will likely do the same once the time is right for the baby thing. Again, despite the fact that I visit and use a ton of Web 2.0 sites, the online wedding photo book site was the only one that I spent any non-trivial amount of money on.

Maybe it's time to really do it.

Check out my startup - http://www.aboutmybaby.com. It has a strong user base and we are looking to add even more features like this soon! If you'd like to learn more about it, feel free to check it out or drop me a note. Hi,

It was definitely a very cool site, if anyone does actually build this out (hint, hint - Peter), I'd strongly consider checking out their interface for some ideas on how to do the online portion. But I feel the real differentiator here (and the real opportunity to bring in revenue) is by taking it a step farther and allow users to purchase the actual stickers, paper, stamps, hole punches, etc...

My wife would be your first customer. :) As a quick note to anyone else out there, I encourage anyone and everyone to steal these ideas and build them out. No need to even mention that you found the idea here, though I'm happy to offer free advice and/or do some additional brainstorming if anyone wants - just shoot me a mail at kleneway@hotmail.com Peter – do it!

I might be interested in doing something like this if it's just an idea you're throwing out to the ether. Are you going to actually make this?

You've also given me a new challenge - to see how many times I can use the phrase "bling add-on" in my conversations around the office today. Thanks Caleb.
