Cindy in C-ville Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Ideally, I'd love to make "real" scrapbooks, but just don't know that this is going to happen ... Any digital online ones that come close? What's your favorite and why? TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa in Jax Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 We've used Picaboo several times. The quality of their books has been good, and we've been pleased with the product. You can choose a pre-done layout or create one from scratch. They have affordable soft cover books, mid-range price hard cover, and "holy cow, that's expensive!" books. ;) From time to time, the run a "buy one/get one free" offer, so that we can give Grandma a copy of the book, as well. They also have coupon codes on a regular basis. HIH, Lisa http://www.picaboo.com/photobooks/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I receive a coupon for them today and am thinking about putting together a book to send with SM to college. Can't believe that's coming up in three weeks!

Stratford Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 My favorite has been My Publisher (mypublisher.com.) I've used them several times and the finished product is very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Running the race Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 blurb.com. It is especially good if you do a book with many pages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamijoy Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I just used Shutterfly for my youngest daughter's first year album and I LOVE it! They let you do custom layouts which they did not used to do. You can put pictures where ever you want, how big you want and put text and embellishments where ever you want as well. It's expensive and you can only have 100 pages max so it will not work for my annual family albums and I am still looking for somewhere to do that. I looked into Blurb since the prices seem good but you have to use their page layouts which I don't like. I'll have to look into Picaboo to see what they offer. Some of my friends use digital scrapbooking software and then send the pages to a printing website but when I tried that, the quality of the pages decreased. No one noticed at first but me, but it looked pixel-y. Maybe it was the program I was using or something. I'll keep an eye on this thread for more ideas.
