Mixbook Review & 20% off coupon


One of my favorite things to do is take photos of my children, big surprise right? I love making memory books but, I don't have the time to cut glue and paste a scrapbook anymore with 2 little boys running, climbing, and hands in my scrapping kits. That is exactly why Mixbook is such a blessing. I can create a family memories book via digital scrapbook in less than 2hrs. Most of the time it took me to fix my Mixbook Memory book was deciding which photos to use.

I sorted a file of the photos I wanted to include and set them up loading to Mixbook while I cleaned the kitchen. I displayed the pictures on the page, the way I liked. I used a pre-designed background theme. That really made it so simple and there was many styles to choose from. Next I added text and embellishments to the pages I wanted. I even changed the background to certain pages to additional colors I preferred. I started out make a 20-page, 8 x 6 landscape, softcover photo book but, I had so much fun creating pages before I know it I went over and made a 25 page book. Additional pages are only 50 cents to add the original photo book.
The possibilities are endless with Mixbook’s powerful and easy editor. So many photo projects can be brought to life with Mixbook. Family and friends anywhere can share photos and work on the same photo project.

20% off discount code: TOMOSON20
No expiration date, but it can only be used once per customer.

AdoramaPix Photo Book Review & Giveaway



Did you just get home from vacation with fantastic memories and photos. I can tell you the best way to preserve your memories. AdoramaPix Photo Books is the answer to store all those special memories in one place. Add special effects to photos, borders, design elements.

I had the opportunity to try AdoramaPix website and one thing I found helpful is the I can store photo while working on the project. I had to spend a while stopping and going back for a couple of weeks between the kids and home, but I could do a little on my project each day.

I downloaded my photos one by one, it seemed to work the best for me considering I had to go through disk where I had stored my photos. After I got my act together the pages began to come together like a family storybook. I was getting into adding images & setting up the pages. I have to admit I liked this so much. I have a hard time scrap booking with so many little fingers to help. I found AdoramaPix Photo Books time saving, cleaner and convenient.



AdoramaPix Photo Books are available in 6X4 size up to 12X12 and each can have either 26 page or 50 pages. Pages use Fuji Crystal Archive photo paper for vivid fade-resistant colors and brilliant whites. Lay flat binder system, custom hard covers, and publish your own book has never been easier. Check out some of the ideas and graphics I used in my AdoramaPix Photo Books .



The AdoramaPix Photo Book arrived and I looked through the pages to find the thickness in the pages a nice feature. I also noticed the photo appear are clear and the color seems even more enriched in color than I would have imagined. Pages are photo perfect pages! The book was perfect in construction with hardcover & photos on the cover as well.
