Celebrate Everyday Life with Shutterfly
Tags:One of the big projects I have been working on over the last few months (and am really excited about) is the creation of a Celebrate Everyday Life photo book for Shutterfly.
This hard-bound book is available in 12x12 and 8x8 formats (minimum of 20 pages but you can add up to 80) and are set up for you to simply drag and drop your photos right into the book& type your text into specified areas. The design is super clean with plenty of white space to keep the emphasis on the photos + words.
Page topics within the photo book include everyday celebrations, observations, distractions, travel, play, work, routines, family, home, beauty, little things, etc. All those parts of our life worth documenting.
In addition to creating the photo book I wrote four short articles related to putting this book together (and scrapbooking everyday life in general). Here's a link to each:
Making A Successful Everyday Life Book
Journaling Your Everyday Life
8 Techniques for Choosing or Taking Photos
List of Everyday Photos
While you are visiting Shutterfly, check out the darling photo book created by Jessica Sprague: ABC's of You.

Can't wait to take a look at this. I am hoping to take my 365 Project from this year and turn it into a book come January of next year. Maybe this will be an option (or your creative mind will work with shutterfly on something else for that, hint hint)
Thanks for all your hard work!

I have been on scrapping hiatus for awhile because I just didn't "feel it". I checked out your book design and....."I felt it" this morning. God bless you and shutterfly. I am starting on my book TODAY!

There is also a great company called Heritage Makers. I like the idea of helping someone with their home based business.
