Something to keep in mind as you’re designing: your files can’t have the same file numbers, or you’ll end up with duplicates! I learned this the hard way, haha.However, it’s really easy because they should export in the correct order! 🙂 This part is kind of time consuming (especially since my book had over 300 pages). Once they’ve been imported, I dragged each one to the pages.After the export, I then imported those jpeg files into BOOKWRIGHT, which is Blurb’s designer.Once I put those specs into Fundy, I created my spreads, and then exported as SINGLE pages.You’ll want to put this in inches, and choose the size of the book you want to create. Then I used > THISI used an 8×10 book, with the image on the hardcover.Okay, so I’ve found that photographers have been finding this blog post on google, which I’m psyched about and think is so cool! So I decided to include a couple of clarifications/specifics on HOW I did it!

What do you think? Would you try Blurb photo books for your own photos?!

So, I think I’ll save this method for special projects!Įach book is about 300 pages or so, and only cost me between $80-90 each! I did have a coupon for them on sale, but before the sale they were about $115 each, which is still pretty reasonable! I love the hard cover with the image on them, because it’s sturdy and it just looks sooo beautiful! This has been a huge project of mine this winter! I *almost* was converted to just doing these books instead of scrapbooks, but then I realized that I had collected some things throughout 2018 to put into a scrapbook and now I can’t, haha. So, I recently made the 2018 family book, and then I made a book for all of Lily’s A Day in the Life installments to get those caught up! Once I finish my 2017 scrapbook I’ll be 100% caught up with ALLL family photos, including our phone photos! Lily and I LOVE to look through all of our photos together! I try to keep as many photo books as accessible as possible for her to grab whenever she feels like it! It’s seriously the best, and such a great motivator for keeping up with printing my photos! THEN I used Bookwright to add text to various pages! So I used Fundy to actually design my layouts, and then imported those into Bookwright. This may be because I’m a wedding photographer and am used to designing wedding albums. So, I dug into Blurb for making my own family photo book for 2018, and I am IN LOVE with the book! However, my only issue with Blurb is that I don’t like the layouts they offer with their designer (Bookwright). Last year with the move and then a CRAZY busy wedding season, scrapbooking just fell by the wayside. I’m still working on my scrapbook for 2017, and now that it’s 2019, the thought of doing a scrapbook for 2018 before getting to this year was too much. But this past year or so I’ve fallen really behind and I was starting to feel overwhelmed. If you’ve been with me for a while now, you know how much I fiercely advocate for printing your photos! I do a family scrapbook each and every year.

Friends, I tried something new recently and I want the whole world to know all about it – Blurb photo books!
