Following for ideas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-a-photo-book#post-2706168 Mon, 06 Mar 2017 00:24:35 +0000 katsupgirl 2706168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.kiwi: I'm like that too. As soon as I get one I put the code in anyway. They usually send a reminder that it's expiring. If I'm lucky I have a project already set to go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-a-photo-book#post-2706164 Sun, 05 Mar 2017 23:12:13 +0000 mrs.kiwi 2706164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@katsupgirl: yes I've seen lots of free book offers but I never seem to catch them when I have time to put an album together!@nana87: @dolphin: ah I have heard lots about artifact uprising.. Seems pricey for me but maybe I'll look into it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-a-photo-book#post-2706163 Sun, 05 Mar 2017 23:09:54 +0000 mrs.kiwi 2706163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: ahk really? May I ask why u didn't like blurb and shutterfly as much? I know it's like losing a friend I was just getting to know!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-a-photo-book#post-2706147 Sun, 05 Mar 2017 20:45:59 +0000 Boogs 2706147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.kiwi: MyPublisher has been my favorite, so I was sad to hear the news. :( I've tried blurb and shutterfly, but don't love them. Hoping you find another great option and you'll share with us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-a-photo-book#post-2706134 Sun, 05 Mar 2017 19:33:48 +0000 mrs.kiwi 2706134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: ah yes i need to do that.. it took insanely long to make all of 2014's pictures into 100 pages.. I will do 2 books for 2015 and beyond.. i'm behind lol..<br /> @sojellybean: ugh too bad. I don't normally care too much about quality of printed pictures but for that one yearly album i do want better quality....<br /> @youboots: i'll look into that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-a-photo-book#post-2706124 Sun, 05 Mar 2017 16:08:47 +0000 dolphin 2706124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do artifact uprising every year. Great quality photo books! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-a-photo-book#post-2706122 Sun, 05 Mar 2017 14:57:15 +0000 PawPrints 2706122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not every year, but I made one of our honeymoon photos, a little 8x8 book that I think was free on Shutterfly via a promo, and it's such a hit with DD (and with us!) that I definitely think we need to make more. At least one for all major trips and maybe one per year of general photos too. DD adores flipping through the honeymoon book and pointing out mama and daddy in it. I have also used Adoramapix to make calendars and their quality is great, they do books too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-a-photo-book#post-2706120 Sun, 05 Mar 2017 14:51:31 +0000 sojellybean 2706120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.kiwi: Say it isn't so! My publisher has always been my go to. I have also made books from shutterfly and to me they don't compare. With promo codes it may be cheaper, but I don't think they look as polished. I do like the layouts and how easy shutterfly is to use and design. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-a-photo-book#post-2706097 Sun, 05 Mar 2017 11:36:35 +0000 youboots 2706097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do a 4x6 album I like that the photos can easily be pulled out and scanned. I use a book from scrapbook.com usually it's about 800-1,000 photos a year. Thanks @littlejoy for the idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-a-photo-book#post-2706087 Sun, 05 Mar 2017 10:15:36 +0000 peaches1038 2706087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use blurb and they always turn out nice </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-a-photo-book#post-2706075 Sun, 05 Mar 2017 09:07:26 +0000 Smurfette 2706075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do Shutterfly. Make a Jan - Jun and then Jul - Dec every year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-a-photo-book#post-2706072 Sun, 05 Mar 2017 08:50:29 +0000 jhd 2706072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do Chatbooks and Shutterfly books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-a-photo-book#post-2706058 Sun, 05 Mar 2017 07:21:28 +0000 nana87 2706058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use Chatbooks for the ease of getting them straight from Instagram without having todo any formatting or uploading or anything. They have some options that are higher quality but it's also pretty cheap. I also like social print studio for similar reasons but haven't gotten a book from them, just prints in various formats (incl magnets, metal, and framed). I just saw a friend made a wedding album using artifact uprising and it was gorgeous but no idea about cost </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-a-photo-book#post-2706057 Sun, 05 Mar 2017 06:40:08 +0000 ElbieKay 2706057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agreed don't be put off by Shutterfly's pricing because they almost always have 50% sales. Just wait to order until there is a promotion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-a-photo-book#post-2706052 Sun, 05 Mar 2017 03:45:54 +0000 katsupgirl 2706052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've made photo books using Shutterfly. Not sure about pricing but they usually have promotions running regularly and there are always coupon codes floating around. I also get random free photo book offers from pampers and carters/osh kosh. </p> <p>I'm fine with the quality but I'm not that picky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-a-photo-book#post-2706047 Sun, 05 Mar 2017 02:36:17 +0000 mrs.kiwi 2706047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you make a yearly album "Yearbook" or albums for vacations or special events?</p> <p>I used to buy albums and print 4x6 pictures to put in them. I did that for years until finally for the year 2014 i made a photo book through mypublisher. I chose Mypublisher through a hellobee blog post I think... They had regular "free extra pages" sales and I think I got my 100 page book for around $50 shipped.</p> <p>Well I heard Mypublisher is closing down! Now I need to find a new company to make photo books with. Do you have any recommendations? I'd ideally love a 100 page 8x11 hardcover for around $50. I have nooo idea what others charge and if they are similar quality, etc!! </p>
