Photo Books!

If you love photography and photo gifts then this will be perfect for you! I am a huge believe in personal gifts! They are much more sentimental and are full of memories. I am constantly exploring www.shutterfly.com. It is an online photo sharing website. It is also very simple to use. You simple create an account, upload your photos, and then begin creating one of a kind photo gifts. You can create photo cards, invitations, canvas prints, photo books and much more.
Photo books are my personal favorite. I have made well over two dozen of them for friends, family, and even myself. They are simple, adorable, and the finished product is a book full of memories that will last forever. You can make them in a variety of sizes and styles. They come in both paperback and hardcover styles too! Most recently, I made one for my boyfriend Kevin for our 1 year anniversary. I went with a more simple approach and chose 10 photos from the past year of our relationship. I started at the beginning with our trip to Big Bear when we first started dating and ended with my sorority formal which was right before our 1 year anniversary. On one page of the layout was the photo and on the opposite page I was able to type a few sentences about this photo and why it was special to me. Shutterfly also lets you create front and back covers, a personalized spine, and this layout even had a table of contents which gave a snapshot of each photo that would be used in the book.I have included screen shots of the book below so you can get an idea of just how cute and special these books can be.

I encourage all of you to browse Shutterfly and see for yourself how awesome this photo sharing website is!
