Capture Life’s Special Moments with Blurb + $50 Gift Certificate Giveaway

I love having photo albums and used to scrapbook all the time.  But working full-time from home and taking care of my 3 boys leaves me with very little time to scrapbook.  That’s where Blurb comes into play!  Blurb is a creative publishing platform that allows anyone to create, share and sell a professional quality book. Make a portfolio of your client work, an archive of your blog, a cook book of your favorite recipes, a photo book of your family pictures or a quick book of your instagram photos – the possibilities are limitless. It’s easy and quick to do – with a variety of software options you could complete your dream book in next to no time.

Once you’ve made your book you can share it with others on your facebook/twitter or website & blog- you can even sell it for profit.  That might be a great idea for coverage at a press event or even a blogging event.  That way you and all your blogging and social media friends can take home with them a book of photographic memories!

I have fallen in love with the art of creating digital photo books.  With the photo books, I can choose the photos I want and write in any font, style or color I want.  On Facebook, I have a lot of photos and that is where Blurb came in handy for me.  I created my photo books from the photos that were in my Facebook account.  It took me a little while to figure out how to choose individual pictures rather than the whole album, but once I had it figured out, it was easy sailing from there.

I chose to make a book for my boys and they really liked it a lot.  I do want to say that if you see a note saying that the photo does not have good enough resolution for a large size, heed that advice.  There were a few pictures that were blurry, but I was still glad to have them in the book.  The colors and clarity on many of the pictures was awesome and I think this would definitely make a good Christmas gift for anyone!
