I could not decide what to get my husband for Valentine's Day. It's always a tough call, if we decide to exchange at all! So, when I was offered the chance to do a review for a
Mixbook hardcover book, I gladly accepted the challenge! With my review, I was able to order a 20-page 11x8.5" Classic Landscape Photo Book.
It took some time for me to decide what exactly I wanted to center my book around. I contemplated doing a photo book using our pictures from our recent trip to Walt Disney World, but decided against it because there were so many pictures and I didn't want to take the time to upload them all. Plus...how do I choose which ones?!? So, I decided to do a book centering around our family using pictures off of Facebook! Yup...Facebook! It was so quick. With just a few clicks, I was able to upload all of my photos from Facebook onto
Mixbook and start designing! I was excited to use my Facebook photos as most of them were pictures I was "tagged" in, thus not being my own photos.
It was so easy to design my book after I got the pictures uploaded. I loved that I could choose my own layout or use theirs. You can choose one of their many themes, or do your own. The themes that they have to choose from range from General to as specific as Romance. I also liked being able to choose my own backgrounds. You can add your own text, or you may want to use some of the sample texts they have available on their custom made pages. There are even "stickers" you can add to the pages. Adding the pictures was as easy as "clicking and dragging" them over. I could edit the photo once it was placed to my liking. Super easy and I had so much fun going through all of those precious photos! After I was finished, I wanted to share it with my family, so with a couple of clicks I was able to share my finished project. This will be one of the best gifts I have even given to my husband. He has seen other books done by other people and always love to look at them. I know it will be a hit...it's unique and personal!
When I got the book I couldn't have been happier with the quality! It looked great...very sturdy and professional looking. What a great gift! I can't wait to give it to my husband for Valentine's Day.
