Digital Photobook Pics!

[Timon]

Hello scrappers!

Some of you saw my DCL digital SB that I did and wondered what I was going to do with the layouts. Well, I haven't gotten around to getting the DCL album printed but I did do a smaller more basic album for my niece's upcoming 1st birthday.

I used 1-2 photos per page, one background and one embellishment per page. It took me about 5 hours to finish and then I uploaded the photos to easypix (so I can pick it up locally at Shopper's Drug Mart that a kind DISer told me about! Thanks pjpoohbear!!) and five days and only $42 CDN later, I had the book in my hand. It looks very nice!

Here's some photos for you:

WOW! Your scrapbook is amazing!

Very simple in design, yet very elegant... The pictures just pull you into the fact of how beautiful your niece is...

This is definately a book I wish I had the creativity to make!

Very nice, thanks for sharing!!

I love these books! I did a similar one of our last WDW/DCL trip on Shutterfly, but I put a varied amount of pictures on each page - some pages had just one huge picture, others had two, some had up to six, grouped according to day/subject. It's leather bound, and very thin which is great for storage. I think I had about 120 photos in all (added extra pages @ $.80 per page), the entire book cost about $60 to do (and 12 hours worth of time, in part because I "lost" my uploaded photos twice). It arrived in the mail 2 or 3 days after I ordered it. These are a wonderful gift idea! I don't think the Shutterfly package has a scrapbook option, but I'm not sure. My pages had a "travel" theme, with little boats and things on the pages.

MickeyCrazed,

I am sure you could do it easily, you only need the basic tools in a design program to do it, it's very easy!

Pea-n-Me,

The layouts, including the backgrounds and small embellishment were made by me in Photoshop, it wasn't an option while I was creating the book online. But I do know what you are talking about, they have different backgrounds and stuff that you can use to enhance your photos. I like to have more control of stuff so I create one big jpg with everything I want in photoshop then just upload the jpg and it takes up the whole page

Love your book! I am new to the digital scrapbooking and love your work.

This may be a stupid question but I would love to digiscrap our Disney trip and am curious if I do a layout in PSE with Disney background/character clipart will I be able to have it put in a photobook without infringing on copyright issues?

TIA!

nicki dahling,

LOL You are WAY too kind girl!!

mommy2emmersNmo,

As long as you are not going to sell it or use the Disney stuff for profit, I don't think they will mind If it's just for your own personal use, no big deal!

VERY nice!!!

This easypix? It's an Canadain website. Is there a US version?

 

[Timon]

Splsh,

Yes, easypix is Canadian but there are tons of places to get it done in the U.S. In fact, I just got an e-mail from Shutterfly and they have a whole bunch of new sizes now!!! I am going to go check it out. Still haven't decided on where to get my DCL album printed.
