Photo Books & A Giveaway from Shutterfly!

One of Mckenna's favorite things to do at night is to "read" her photo albums. She will say, "I'm going to read you a story" and will proceed to say, "Once upon a time you were my Mommy and I was your baby". The albums she has in her room are all from when she was born and the first few early weeks of her life. I don't print a lot of pictures unless they are getting framed. As she has done this more and more, I had begun to think of ALL of the pictures I have and how I want her to be able to look through them all. This blog serves as my "scrapbook" of Mckenna and Norah, however Mckenna's love of pictures (wonder where she got that from) makes me want to give her more!

I have decided to start small and create photo books from special events. Birthday's, vacations, summer vacation... that type of thing. I have created a few Shutterfly photo books in the past, so I turned to their website to begin this project. Since I do not upload pictures to a website like Shutterfly often, I often feel overwhelmed with the idea of doing so.

Did you know that Shutterfly has a new Express Uploader??
I didn't either... so I downloaded it (super easy) and got to work. 

I have started creating books for the girls' birthday's. I had a coupon offer from Shutterfly for 40% off photo books, so I had a reason to do it... and a timeline! I first spent one day uploading all of the pics from Mckenna's first three birthdays.... and when I say ALL of the pics we are talking 400-500 PER birthday. I have issues, yes, I realize that!

I found it easier to just upload all of the pictures from the event rather than sort through and then upload. I just don't have the time to stand around picking and choosing. I wanted them all on Shutterfly when I got creating. But that is what worked for me.

So Shutterfly has some awesome choices when it comes to selecting your albums... you can choose size, type of cover and even if you want them to create the whole thing for you! They make it easy!

For Mckenna's birthday albums I chose 8x11 books with hard color cover.

I then chose a template, selected some pictures and let Shutterfly do its magic!
They created custom pages to fit all of my pictures.
If I wanted, it would have been that easy.... but of course I am picky (difficult).
But I like that they let me be difficult! I was able to go in and move some pictures around, choose new pictures to add and then add text to the book. 
The templates I chose even had various "clip art" style graphics I could add or take out. Loved it!

So... in the end I was SOO happy with the books I created! I was able to create books from Mckenna's 1st and 2nd birthday's and with my coupon for 40% off and FREE shipping, I got both books for under $47.00!! Super excited to create her 3rd birthday when I do Norah's 1st!!

Below you can view the album I created for Mckenna's 1st Birthday Luau!! 

I hope you like what you see because the AMAZING people at Shutterfly have offered to give one of my lucky readers a
