Preserve Your Travel Memories

I made two Shutterfly albums this week!

I had so much fun putting these albums together. It was so easy. In just a few hours this week I was able to create two unique and professional looking picture books that record some of my favorite memories from the past year.

I did one for Leavenworth:
Leavenworth (it’s our favorite place!)

And one for our Florida trip from January 2011, where we celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary.

It took me a few hours to create each book. The second was much faster than the first. I used the Custom Path. This allowed me to edit the photos and layout quite extensively. I had the program place the photos for me. I then rearranged and resized the photos myself. Another option is the Simple Path. Shutterfly will place the photos and you’ll add and edit the captions. If time is short this will be the way to go.

I had a coupon for a free album from Trip Advisor as a “Thank you” for posting reviews, and another from Shutterfly. If you sign up for an account with Shutterfly, they’ll send you offers, too. Read the coupon’s small print. The free photo book coupons are usually for 8X8″ albums. My coupon was for a value of up to $29.99. I only paid for shipping and handling.

Our daughter-in-law uses Shutterfly photo books to create keepsakes of our 3 year-old grandson, and we love them. We’ve received mugs, calendars and magnets.

What a quick, easy and inexpensive way to create lasting memories. In the past I’ve created an album of my favorite travel and art photos. I’m looking forward to creating several more. I want to take a whole bunch of retro and vintage looking photos and create a nostalgia album. I can’t recommend Shutterfly enough.
