Let’s rewind a little bit. Remember my words book for Hank? I loved it but I wasn’t super happy with the quality. Like a white knight, Shutterfly came to the rescue and offered to print a really beautiful 8 x 11 copy for me! Yeah!
Oh my goodness. It’s so much better. Bound beautifully, high quality paper. The process was so easy and user friendly to upload your pictures and create your own photo book on their site. Tons of options for backgrounds and text/photo merges. Plus the quality is fabulous. There are so many great features on their site, I’m excited to make another sometime soon.
I’m super happy with it and you should be excited too because…
Shutterfly wants you to have one! They’re giving away a customized photo book to TWO different readers! One 7 x9 photo book and one 8x 8 photo book.
Just leave a comment on this post before Sunday night 10pm PST.

–Add me to your reader so you don’t miss out on the results
-Include your email please if it’s not linked to your name
-Please leave only one comment, unless you

Good luck and thank you Shutterfly! I’ll announce the two lucky winners Monday.

Shutterfly rocks. I've used them for tons of projects including our wedding albums (instead of buying one for $800 through our photographer!) and as gift albums for my parents when my son was born…

Oh this would be great! I have been wanting to do a photo book for my kids with pics of them and their cousins. As usual, I never got around to it! I'm happy to hear about Shutterfly's quality too, I was burned by a different company last year with photo calendars I made for family and have been a bit hesitant.
I love making photo books. pick me!
they look beautiful!
Very Nice!
I make photo books for Linus and my mom of our time spent together for intergenerational continuity…great since we live in different time zones.
These books are the coolest! I've used them for photobooks, but next I am thinking I might use them to do a cookbook with pictures and family recipes.
i was going to make one like yours. I've heard good things about them!
Perfect. Hope I win. Yours looks great!
This is exactly what I need!
