Shutterfly Stamped Artwork Photo Book

Today I would like to share with you a Shutterfly 8" x 8" photo book I created about a month ago as a Christmas gift.  I had received an email with a discount coupon from Shutterfly which I just couldn't pass up!

Originally, I thought I would use a themed template, but once I realized how easy the software was to navigate I decided to create my own backgrounds to compliment my stamped artwork.  This book consists of 28 pages and has nature quotes on every other page to correspond with each photo.

I must say the process, delivery time, and final product from Shutterfly are all top notch!

Here are some pictures of the finished book.

Have you created a Shutterfly photo book?  If so, I would love for you to share your thoughts and/or tips by commenting on this post.

Thank you for coming to visit me.  Have a great day!

    Oh, my goodness! Donna, this is just fabulous. What a wonderful way to trap all your cards in one easy to store place. AND it is a finished piece of art in and of itself. I love it. Very, very beautiful.

    Hi Donna,
    I have used Shutterfly many times to make books. The process is very simple. But, I would like to know how you made your own backgrounds. I never thought of using it to capture my own artwork though. Brilliant idea. And, gorgeous art work. Bev.
