How to Save Scrapbook Pages to a CD

Sharing scrapbook pages is commonly done by passing around a completed scrapbook album. There are many instances, though, when passing around an album is impossible. For some, creating a back-up copy of the completed pages is the priority rather than sharing. Saving scanned pages to a CD to share with family and friends, or create a back-up copy, will allow you to accomplish both tasks.
