I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Photobooks changed my life! I absolutely have converted over from printing individual digital pictures and filing them away in an uninteresting album to creating beautiful photobooks that are fun to look and way less work to produce than traditional scrapbooking. They also make stunning inexpensive gifts!

I recently had the pleasure of creating a photobook using Shutterfly. They sent me a coupon for a free photobook and I jumped at the chance to create an album of our summer camping trip because both my mom and sister have used Shutterfly in the past and told me what a great experience they had.

So easy to use!
I am happy to report that Shutterfly was very easy to use and I was super excited to find out that they have a Simple Path format for people like me who don’t have a lot of time and want to create beautiful photobooks fast. With Simple Path all you have to do is upload your photos, choose a photobook size and theme and then have Shutterfly auto-fill those photos for you in chronological order into your book, automatically selecting the photo layouts and backgrounds. I LOVE this feature so much because when it’s done I can quickly and easily make any necessary adjustments I want and be in and out with no fuss, no muss. It really couldn’t be any easier than that.
Of course you always have the option of doing a more custom photobook as well depending on the time you have available. It’s totally your choice, the cost is the same either way.

So many background options and picture layouts!
Choosing background wallpaper is what make photobooks so much fun. Shutterfly has many different coordinating varieties to choose from. You can use all the same one or be wild and crazy and mix and match them

Picture quality is superb!
Oh my goodness I was stunned by the first class picture quality. The photos are sharp and the colors true to live. Many of the pictures in my book fill an entire page and it feels like I could step right inside the photo it’s that clear.

Oh and I almost forgot to tell you about one of my very favorite features. Spine writing! You can write your title on the spine so that when your books are lined up on your shelf you can easily grab the one you need. Such great attention to detail!!
Want to try Shutterfly out for yourself?
I have TWO coupons available from Shutterfly for two free photobooks. One 5×7 book and one 7×9 book. Leave a comment on this post and I’ll select two random winners to each win one photobook to try out. Winners must use coupons before November 30, 2009.
Deadline to comment is November 7th at 9:00 pm PST.

Good luck and happy photobooking!!
