Couple of cool tools for your pictures.
First one is Scrapblog and the other one is Animoto. Scrapblog is a little static but lets you create the scrapbook like projects with your digital pictures. There are many themes and scrapbook tools to choose from. Beware, it is a big time sink but the best thing is that you can share your projects with people and publish it out to the whole community.

Journal Your Memories
If you don’t record the stories behind your photos, your memories may someday be lost. Digital cameras make it easy and fun to take hundreds of photos everyday. The events that make up your life and all of those photos have a story.

If you want some inspiration, check out these scrapblogs and share in the memories that inspired the photos.

Animoto
What Animoto does can be summed up with a description from their website:

Animoto is a web application that produces MTV-style videos using the images and music you choose. Produced in a widescreen format, Animoto videos have the visual energy of a music video and the emotional impact of a movie trailer. Best of all, no two videos are ever the same. Ever.

We will be writing more about it with some videos soon.
