Whohoo I'm so excited I could shout! I've just gotten my first printed scrapbook back today. As I've said before I've printed off some of my layouts in the past and added them to books. But this is the first time I've had the book printed. I decided to scrap our wedding pictures , that took place in August 2001, and have them printed into an actual book. I know I'm kinda late getting it done, but I didn't scrap back then. hehehe Shutterfly made it so easy to do I was surprised. And they have lots of sizes to choose from. I choose to make my first book an 8x8 soft back book. I was also able to add my own photos to both the front and back covers as well! First I downloaded templates from here to make sure I had my pages the right size. Then scrapped the 20 pages plus the front and back cover and picked what I wanted to use for my spine on the book. Then I just uploaded all the pages to Shutterfly and started building my book. I placed the order on August 31, 2009 and received the finished book back today September 11 2009. Here are some pictures that I've took of the book to share with you, so you can get an idea how the finished product looks. I won't show you every page but a few so you can get an idea of how they the printed version turned out. The book is laying on the counter top, so that is what you see in the background.

I really love the Shutterfly books but have never made the soft cover or the 5x7 books. Just got one yesterday of my grandson celebrating his 2nd year. Am making the pages for my son's wedding book, and they aren't even married yet, so I guess this will be an ongoing project. Your's is very nice.
