Mixbook Photo Book Review and Giveaway!!!

Mixbook.com an online company where you can make Photo Book, Cards, Calenders and more!  They offered me complimentary photo book to try the service.  Perfect timing for me because I just had Peyton's Birthday party.  So I tried it out. 

Here are the highlights of using Mixbook:
  • Easy sign up process
  • You can pull photos from Facebook, Smugmug, Picasa and more!  And of course you saved files.
  • You can invite friends and family to work on a photo book with you, so no emailing back and forth.
  • Super easy to start book, I just clicked on the book I liked in the Birthday section
  • Once you upload photos you want to use, just drag them to spaces in the book, or you can let mixbook do it.  I choose to move my own.
  • You can edit ANYTHING on the book, even on the layout you chose.  Just click on it.
Here are some of the challenges I had:
  • You have to delete extra pages.  I selected 20 page book and it gave me like 30, so I had to delete them so I would not get charged for them or end up with blank pages.  Now, I could have missed a step, but still.
  • Save often!  I doesn't auto save and I would go back and a page would not be updated.  I manually saved after each page.
I know making a photo book can be intimidating but if you get you photos organized it can be super easy.  I uploaded my photos.  Here is the final product!

  12. Cute book! I like Mixbook. I used them to make an engagement photo album. I'll probably use them for my daughters one year photo's and my wedding albums. I also had a couple of the same problems, but the final outcome of my book was worth it. Walmarts got nice photo ideas too!
