Simple Celebrations : 5x7 Baby Photo Books

You only need to buy one + then you can use it multiple times for personal use (making one as a gift is personal use) :).

Outstanding! Off to explore whether I can use this with my software, Jo x

Ali, the book is great. I always love your designs. Are you going to be designing more for other subjects?

Yes - happy to take requests too. I saw someone mentioned wedding in the comments above. Will be adding that to my list.

I just purchased these for an album for my granddaughter. How do you upload the separate word and journal files to shutterfly to include in the book? I am not familiar with that file. I can see the words and the journal pages in My Pictures file where I downloaded from Designer Digitals but I can't upload them as they are not jpeg. Clarification, please!
Terri

Oh so lovely, I'm thinking what a spectacular gift that would be...

Hey Terri - to work with the journal block files + separate word .png files you will need to use a photo-editing program (like Photoshop Elements). You would set up the page how you want it (adding journal block + text, etc), save it as a .jpg and then upload to Shutterfly.

Ali,
I noticed your book had black pages at the beginning and at the end.. How do you get it to be that way? Even though I picked the "Classic Black" those pages for me are saying they will end up being white...?
And how do I get my spine to be the same pink color as the front and back of the cover? Did you use the blank pink page for the back?

Very pleased, lovely Anna.
My English is weak. I want to know better, thanks to your blog and beautiful photos, always inspired

Love this idea!! Thanks! And Anna is so beautiful! Ali, do you know if this can upload to other online photo companies (like snapfish)?

Hi Andrea - the black pages just show up on the slide show not in the printed version. When creating my book I chose "print your digital" from the drop-down menu of style choices (vs. classic black, baby, birthday, etc). For the spine I just used the same page as the cover and moved it over so the word is hidden. I used the blank page for the back.

I would guess it would work if they have a 5x7 book - these pages are a bit bigger (designed for the shutterfly page size). Always worth a try :).

Ali, can you please elaborate on getting the spine the same as everything else - I'm having troubles!

Sweet, simple, and beautiful! =)

For the spine select the same file as the cover (you may need to add it to your photobook again to be able to select it - click "get more pictures" to add it again). Once you have selected an image for the spine, click on the spine and a new window will pop up. From there you can move the image to the left or the right so that the word is not on the spine.

Thank you Thank you!!!
Now, I just want to make sure I'm understanding this correctly: the front and the back of the covers are different colors, right?

If they are different colors, is there a way to make the back of the cover the same as the front?

LOVE THIS!

I love your ideas Ali and that you continued to be inspired. I am thinking these would be great for my nieces and nephew. Now to find the time!

LOVE this concept. Look forward to seeing other themes.
