Shuttefly Photo Books

3.10.2010

There is something to be said about making a project and have it completely finished and bound in one sitting. I have had a love affair with bound digital scrapbooks for a few years. And the good news is, you can make these scrapbooks with a drop in template and it will take under an hour AND if you sign up for a Shutterfly Account you will periodically get coupon codes fro FREE 8x8" Photobooks.

I ordered this book today. I used this drop in template by Paislee Press called Defined Baby Quick Album in Pink.




The finished book will be hardback and after my promotion code cost me a whopping $8.47 for shipping. Oh yeah! That's a deal!
I made a photobook from Shutterfly once before and my children look through it the MOST of any other scrapbook I have ever made. Maybe because it feels like a real book. You can find drop in templates in many themes and styles.

Have you ever made a photobook at a photo site?
If so, did you like the finished product?

I've only used shutterfly because I wait for their freebies. I generally like their print quality, but I hate that the glue binding starts falling apart if you look at it more than five times (which my kids do). I hear blurb has stitched bindings. I think I'll try them next!

I love it when you use PP designs. You make them sing!

I love your photo book! I make a one every year for my children's teacher that reflects the past school year. Yours is adorable! I am competing with you in the SYTYC competition! Your Batman towel was my favorite! I can not wait to make one for my son!
