Shutterfly Story Book?

[rlma]

Hey, chicas! Have any of you used Shutterfly's Story Book? It's an 8x8 hardbound book they print for you. I have a coupon for a free one (yay!) and was willing to try it out. For those of you who have used it, do you have any tips/tricks for success?

[Stephanie]

I haven't tried it yet, but I've herd mostly good things. And where did you get that coupon. I want one...

DST has several threads on it, do a serch on sutterfly there

[rlma]

Thank you!

I have no clue how I got it - it arrived in my email. I looked to see if there was a code I could share, but there isn't one. :(

Register with Shutterfly, if you haven't already. I know my Mom got one recently, so they are sending them out at random it would appear.

oh i never got one and have been using them for quite some time! I will be on the look out i hope i get one as well lol! i have heard good things so far!

Digital Scrapbooking Magazine just did a whole thing on which ones to use. The mag article said to check the web site for more in depth info. So you might check there. :)

I'm probably going to do Audrey's Spring Break Album there as soon as I get the last couple of pages done. The Shutterfly website says 20% off their hardbound books through this Sunday for those of us who don't have Rachel's coupon

[rlma]

Ahhh, I now know why I have that coupon. Apparently there was a special running on Amazon when I bought my new camera lens that made me eligible for their "photo partner's" story book album.

UGH i got an email today subject was "get a free shutterfly photo book"

ugh catch is you have to buy Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo XI at a discounted price lol! so maybe they are picking and choosing who gets it free and who has to make a purchase as well! i used to get all my photos printed their but their shipping charges were outragious! i found a much cheaper site, just haven't used them yet!

[rlma]

Yeah, my catch was I had to buy a lens!

I looked all over the Digital Scrapbooking Magazine site and could not find the info ANYWHERE? Did any one else find it? Can you post the direct link here please? PRETTY PLEASEE? :)

[Sandersmr]

Paula - I had to really dig for it - it was Angie Svoboda's column. Let me see if I can find it and I will post the link.

ETA: Here's the link for Angie's article and the link to her comparison chart is at the bottom of the article:

I made one for my mom for mother's day because I had a free coupon. it turned out really well. The only thing I had trouble with was the cover because of the way it wraps around the binding. I was able to edit it with their software to mostly fix the problem. Everything dragged and dropped in pretty well for the pages themselves.
