    Hello there!

    I am starting to work on album ideas with the holidays approaching, and am thinking I am going to go through Blurb. If you have made an album with Blurb, do you have any advice? Something you loved, or something you would do differently?

    Thanks!

    I'd be really concious about putting faces close to the insides (but that is the case with any book, right?) but that's about it! I was pleased with blurb for the price! There's typically always a coupon of some sort and the colors turned out nicely.

    I have nothing but great things to say about the books I made with them, they turned out beautifully!  In fact, I'm starting to help my mom make one also. :)

    Blurb books are pretty decent for the price. There are a few things I would consider / keep in mind::

    I would definitely make sure your total number of pages is divisible by 4 (they say they 'cut out' the extra pages but they sometimes don't - leaving you with unwanted blank, white sheets)

    Don't put any text/photos that are important near the outside edge or near the center.

    I would also be weary of images that expand across two pages - they don't always do the best job lining them up.

     

    They make great gifts - I made one 2 years ago and my family loved it! - and there definitely are coupons out there like penguin mentioned.
