Elf Mixbook!

[finarfiniel]

One thing I like to do is give myself something to look forward to when I come home from a trip, so it's not just business as usual when I'm back. Usually I make plans to do something fun with friends, or I order something online that'll arrive either while I'm away or right after I return

I've been meaning to do something like this for our wedding, since my scrapbooking skills leave a LOT to be desired. Will definitely have to look into Mixbook!

They do have some premade wedding templates you cold use. :) And when you make an account you get a coupon code for 20% off your first order.

I just love the idea of printed photo books. They look so much cooler than my usual display tactic of 4x6 prints stuck in plastic photo sleeves.

I spent a few hours last night and a few hours today creating a wedding photobook using one of their templates and I'm totally in love with it. :D I want to do one for our trip to Rome now!

Yeah, they're kind of addictive. :P

I will forever be loyal to shutterfly... but I use the 12x12 format and my books usually have over 80 pages long. I just wait for their huge annual sale to buy my books. :D

Hmm, huge annual sale sounds good!

I was considering getting one of the more expensive square books and adding more pages, but I opted to go for a smaller low-cost project for my first one in case the quality turned out to be poor. But now that I've done this one, I will probably do some bigger, fancier projects in the future. I have a lot of photos from Mexico, as well as Japan, Germany, Scotland and Vancouver Island, so I could do up a pretty sweet travel book.
