Do You Print Your Digital Scrapbooking Pages?

So do you end up printing your digital scrapbooking layouts?
I'm in the process of putting together my daughter's 4th year book. Basically I do about a page a month for each year of her life. She's 5 in March so I'm nearly up to date after scrapping my butt off a few months ago for her books and also my son's books :)
I actually have three printed for Caitlyn, two for Zach (who is 3 in November) one book of layouts that features both of them and one book for general family pages. I always get them printed at Artscow because I love their coupons! I can basically get the book printed for free and only pay for shipping which takes about two weeks - not too bad considering I'm in the UK. The print quality is also GREAT! Sometimes the red colours seem a bit bright, but they're not so severe that I've bothered to contact their customer services.
Here are some pictures of our first family book which I got printed about two months ago...
 To help me get the bleed and positioning of my pages and cover just right I also use these templates by Wendyzine over at Scrapbook Graphics. They are my lifesaver! I convert each 12x12 layout into 8x8 as I just find 12x12 books are VERY expensive and very difficult to handle as they're so big. Every time a book of mine is delivered I just get so excited looking at the results of my time spent digi scrapping. I just hope my kids will appreciate the books when they grow up!
