How I used my Shutterfly promo code
12 Aug
A few weeks ago I blogged about Scrapbooking and the 40% off Shutterfly coupon that was burning a hole in my inbox. Well, I used it! I really used it!
Here's what I ended up creating and ordering:
"Defined" photobook - Summer pictures
This was a digital scrapbook quick album from Paislee Press over at Oscraps. I filled it with favorite pictures from the past few months. Total time was probably about an hour and a half and I'm really happy with how it turned out.

Disneyland photobook
This one was done on a whim and I'm so happy I ordered it. I uploaded our Disneyland pictures from May and let Shutterfly do all the work with their automated photobook. SO easy and cute! All I did was change the title. You could customize further but I kept is simple.

In terms of quality, I am happy with the Shutterfly books. The hardback is definitely nicer and I think I'll opt for those rather than the soft cover in the future. Paper quality is nice and thick. The "simple path" option for automatically creating books from photos you upload is crazy fast and easy. I can definitely imagine doing those again in the future. They would make great quick gifts for family and friends. My only complaint is that shipping was pretty hefty coming in around the same cost as one of the books! Here's the total bill:
Of course, now they've sent me a 50% off code. I have half a mind to scan our wedding photos and get a book made finally after 8 years. I'm not sure I'm up for tackling that though, even with 50% off!
*FYI - this was not a sponsored or paid article. Just giving up the Shutterfly love on my own.
Woohoo! I did the Shutterfly photo book for my husband for our 5th wedding anniversary of fun family pics. I absolutely love it and it was super duper easy.
