:: I Love Shutterfly! ::

OK guys, if you have never tried Shutterfly, you have got to do it at least once! Once you get that first book back, you’ll be hooked! I have conveniently added a link to Shutterfly in the right sidebar - LOL! First of all, this is such a great alternative to printing pages at home! I mean, you get 20 pages for only $29.99 (plus they’re 20% off until May 8th!) I’m sure that’s less than the actual at-home printing cost by the time you account for the paper and ink! I know how much ink my printer goes through when I’ve printed out pages. Plus, it’s in a bound book and it’s so professional looking! These story books take up a quarter of the space an album would, plus they look great on your coffee table. The final “pro” of these books is the fact that anyone you know would love to have a book that was made just for them or just about them! Jordan loves her books!

The reason I’m bring this up is that I received one of my books that I ordered last week. This is the one that I made with Maya’s Good Vibes album kit. These photos aren’t that great, but trust me, the quality if these books is excellent.

Hopefully the other one, which I made for my MIL for Mother’s Day will be here today. I did a something a little different with hers. I’ll post photos tomorrow if I get it.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Have you checked out the May DST Newsletter that came out yesterday? That’s one big newsletter! I have an ad in there with a coupon code for the YDD store, but there are so many in this month’s edition, that I’m wondering if anyone will see it - LOL! Since National Scrapbook Day is May 5th, I am offering 30% off from May 1 - May 15. Here’s the ad:

You might want to drop by the store and check out some changes that I made yesterday. I added a couple of modules. One is a hover preview. Basically, when you hover over the small images on the screen with your mouse, the medium size preview pops up! I think it’s pretty cool! The other one is for the large previews. When you’re in the item’s page and you click on the medium image, the large pops up with some transitional effects.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Jordan is getting better every day. She’s not running fever anymore, but she still has that nasty cough. She did feel well enough to go to Karate class last night though! It’s the first time she’s been in almost two weeks. There were a bunch of new kids in the class! She’ll be moving up to the Camo Belt class in a couple of weeks.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

OK, since it’s now May, I thought I’d make you all a new desktop calendar. This one is 1200×900 pixels, so you may have to adjust the size for your screen size. Hope you like it! THIS DOWNLOAD IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE.

HERE is the download link. PLEASE DO NOT SHARE MY LINKS WITH OTHERS OR IN YAHOO GROUPS. DON’T SUPPORT PIRACY! See - it’s on every post for a freebie! Have a great day, and please leave me some love if you download the freebie!

So can you actually design the cover of the books with Shutterfly? That’s amazing! I’ve done books with Image Station but they have nothing like that. Wow. Thanks for the review. Can’t wait to see the other one you did.

And thanks for the coupon!

Thank you so much for the wonderful May calendar! Just took some pictures of my cat so I can get it set up. I will have to check into Shutterfly. I plan on making several albums by Christmas and this may be the best way to print and put them all together. Love that new hover feature at the store! Thanks so much!

Wonderful gift! Now I can keep up with the date easier. Thank you!

Question about the book. What size pages does it have or can you make a choice? I have been making a book for the new baby but started it in 8.5×11 since that is what my printer I like prints.

Wow - the calender is beautiful! You have a way with the blues - just so sweet and sweet. Yummy. Love the way your book turned out; I’m not a scrapbooker (do collage, altered art) but am thining of the possibilities. Going over to check out the store.. I’ve been so bad the last few days and here I am just learning to use PSE 4.0. Lol
