Shutterfly Photo Books

Have you ever made any photo books? They are so much fun to make, and are such wonderful keepsakes or gifts! You can make them simple or elaborate depending on your creativity and your time frame.

I've used several different photo companies to make and order photo books and one of my favorites is Shutterfly! I've ordered photos, cards, calendars, and photo books from them for years, and have been pleased with the quality! I also love the sales and special offers they run throughout the year. :)

Recently, Shutterfly upgraded their photo book designer to create the all new Custom Path books, and just last month I had the opportunity to try it out. Wow!! It's SO much better than it used to be. Now you can do almost anything you want to with your book! Crop your pictures, turn them, place them exactly where you want them, add text anywhere, decorate your pages with "stickers", and so much more!! It's just like you're doing a scrapbook! You can now personalize your book just the way YOU want it!

 

There are LOTS of different styles you can choose between from everyday, to baby, to wedding, to seasonal, birthday, travel, and more!! Choose one theme for the whole book or make different sections of your book with different themes! You're the creator of this book and you can make it just the way you want it to be! No one else knows your pictures like you do!

If you're short on time however, you can choose one of their time saving helps. If you have some time but not a lot, let them place the photos you have chosen for your photo book project into your book for you. They'll place them in chronological order throughout the pages of your book. This saves a good deal of time, and if you decide you don't quite like the layout of a certain page, no problem. You can fix that one page and then go on. I did this method the last time I ordered a books since I only had an hour or two to complete the book!! :)

Then there is the Simple Path book where Shutterfly makes your book completely. If you're running really short on time, this method may be for you. These books won't be quite as personalized, but they'll still be a great keepsake filled with priceless photos!

So, if you're starting to think about Christmas gifts or just have lots of photos that need something done with them, check out Shutterfly's photo books! You'll get high quality beautifully done photo books filled with precious memories. (Or if you're searching for another kind of photo gift, Shutterfly also offers photo cards, stationary, mugs, and many other gift options!)

Shutterfly currently has their photo books on sale. You can get up to 30% off through the 17th. You can also get FREE Shipping on orders of $30 or more. Plus, if you shop through E-bates, you'll receive 8% CASH BACK on your purchase!! :) I love combining cash back with sales!! :)

Do you have your own blog? Shutterfly is giving away 1,000 free photo books to eligible bloggers!

Get a FREE $30 Credit to Shutterfly plus FREE Shipping!

Here is a wonderful deal for anyone who has a PhotoWorks account! PhotoWorks is closing and they are offering a FREE $30 Shutterfly credit to anyone who transfers their photos from PhotoWorks to Shutterfly.

Transferring your photos is very easy. Simply follow these steps:

Sign up for a Shutterfly account if you don't already have one (you'll get 50 free prints when you sign up).

Go to PhotoWorks and click "Transfer My Photos. You'll be asked to log in to your Shutterfly account if you aren't already logged in.

Not only can you get this free $30 credit to Shutterfly, you can also combine that with a FREE Shipping code!! Just use the code SHIP30 to receive free shipping on any order of $30 or more!! You may get a message saying these don't work together, but the site seems to be taking them both anyway. That's one thing I love about Shutterfly - you can combine codes for some really wonderful (and sometimes completely free) deals!

I've had a PhotoWorks account for years, but have rarely ordered from them. I love Shutterfly though, so this was perfect! I received my code within an hour of doing the transfer.

Even if you're not sure if you have a PhotoWorks account, go ahead and try this. Some people are finding out that they had an account that they had forgotten about. :)

Shutterfly & Artscow

I'm definitely not a professional photographer, but I do enjoy taking nature photos when I can. In the spring and summer when the flowers are in bloom, it's fun to take my camera outside and see what I can capture. Flowers make beautiful photos, but when you add birds, bees or butterflies, then the photos are even more special! :)

Once I have captured a photo I like, I enjoy turning those photos into photo cards (like the one in the post below), calendars, or other photo gifts. Shutterfly and Artscow are the two photo companies I have used the most, and I really like both of them.

Shutterfly offers really nice photo books, calendars, photo cards, and many other photo gifts besides many sizes of photo prints. I've been pleased with everything I've gotten from them. You can also get CASH BACK on your Shutterfly purchases when you order through Shop at Home, Big Crumbs, or E-bates! Combining that with a free shipping promotion and/or sales, and you can get a really good deal on your photos or photo gifts! If you haven't tried Shutterfly yet, you can get 50 free photo prints just for signing up!

Artscow is another of my favorite photo places! Not only do they have wonderful photo gifts (books, calendars, mugs, magnets, key chains, tote bags, camera cases, etc.) and prints, they are also known for their great coupons and FREE product codes!  When you sign up, you receive 1200 free photo prints (600 4x6 and 600 5x7), 3 free 8x8 photo books, plus other gifts! There is also a forum where you can ask other members for certain coupon codes or share ones that you aren't going to be using!

If you're in need of photos or photo gifts, I'd encourage you to try out one of these photo sites!
