I love taking photos of my family! I have so many that it's nearly impossible to store them all. We have photos in boxes and lots of digital photos on our laptop. One of the things I just haven't had time for has been trying to organize and scrapbook all my latest photos.
When I was presented with the opportunity to try out Shutterfly, I was very excited! I had heard a lot about this site on the web, but I hadn't yet had the chance to try it out.
Shutterfly allows you to upload your digital photos to create Photo Books, Cards & Stationary, Calendars, Photo Gifts, and even Prints. They have cards for every special occasion! For example, you can create Wedding Announcements, Christening Invitations, and Baptism Invitations. We have a baby on the way, so I'm sure that I will be checking out their Birth Announcements soon! These will make wonderful memories for your scrapbooks!
I tried out their Photo Books. The process is fairly simple; just upload your digital photos and you can customize your book page by page. Or, you can choose the Simple path and have them instantly make your book for you! They have hundreds of backgrounds to choose from as well as different page layouts and fonts. It's like having your own digital scrapbook!
You will need to dedicate a bit of time if you are disorganized like I am. The most time I spent was trying to find and organize all of my digital photos and then put them in order in the book. I really liked the background choices and layouts available. I didn't have to be super creative or crafty to make a book that I know my family will enjoy for years to come.
Their prices are also very reasonable. I've heard they often give discount codes and promotions at various times throughout the year!
