Shutterfly Photobook: Disneyland Trip 2016

I finally finished the photo book from our trip to Disneyland back in October. I take so many pictures that it has been taking me a lot longer to put these together just because I have to decide what to actually put in the book. I also had to get all of the pictures Justin took which sometimes slows me down. I love making these and looking back through how much fun we had. Also, this is the first time I have been able to use the new Disney template from Shutterfly. They didn't have it a couple of years ago after we went. It does cost $5 more but it's not like I go to Disneyland every weekend so it is worth it to me. Can't wait to get that orange box in the mail!

Shutterfly Photo Book: Anniversary Trip

I finally made a book from our Anniversary trip to Portland from last November. I actually made it last month but was waiting to order it until I got a code for a free book from Shutterfly and I finally got one! It makes me want to go back and eat all of those foods again. It was such a good trip and we are so lucky to have been able to go. I love that we have it documented so that we can look back on it.

Christmas Cards 2015

I was on top of it with my Christmas Cards this year. We took our pictures back in September so that helps, too. I ordered my cards back in like October or early November and then put them in the mail the first week in December. I got the majority of my cards from Costco while they were on coupon. I also got a couple of fun designs from Shutterfly with some coupons but I only bought like 10 of each. I love Shutterfly but the Costco cards were like $30 for 50 cards with envelopes with the return address already on them so, yea. I don't know why but I just love sending out and receiving Christmas cards. Apparently my brother in law is also obsessed with getting them in the mail but I highly doubt he will help send them out. My mom said my grandpa liked to look at them all, too. I love paper products, I love pictures, I love mail and I love Christmas so its basically the best time of year.  Here are our 3 cards from this year:

This is the main card, front and back, from Costco.

This card actually has a shimmer and is really pretty, from Shutterfly.

I have wanted to do a "review" card for a while now so I finally made one. It is also from Shutterfly and I gave these to people we don't get to see often to update them on our year.

Aspen's 1 Year Photobook

I am pretty proud of myself that I have finished Aspen's one year photobook and she is not even 14 months old yet! Having this blog really helps me be able to document all of these things so that I can make these books. I only make an annual book for the 1st year and then after that I do it for trips/vacations/photo shoots, etc. I love having these but more than anything I hope that they appreciate them when they are older.

Shutterfly Photo Book

I had a free coupon for a photo book that expires tomorrow so I had to get my act together and finally make a book from our trip to the Grand Canyon earlier this month for my birthday. I ended up using the same template as I recently used for Bearizona but the template was so perfect and Bearizona and the Grand Canyon are pretty close to each other so it makes sense that it works for both. I think it looks different enough anyways. You can see some of my other books here. I have so many and I love them all.

Shutterfly Photo Book

I had mentioned I was working on creating a photo book with pictures from our summer zoo trips. A couple of years ago I had made a similar one for my sister and I had recently gotten a couple of free photo book codes that expire before Aspen arrives so I decided I wanted to use them and a zoo book sounded like a great idea. I made the book so it would be something both my sister and I could enjoy and that way I could just order two of the exact same book. It ended up costing me $13 to have both books shipped, but that's it. I think that $13 for two awesome photo books is a pretty great deal, especially when this is really the only way we print pictures anymore. I can't wait till I get that orange package in the mail! Here is the book:

Shutterfly Photo Books: Norris Family Reunion and Disneyland

Two of our big trips for 2013 were a trip to New York in June for a family reunion with my mom's family and a trip to Disneyland in October for Everly's second birthday. It is no secret that I love making Shutterfly photo books to preserve our memories and do something with the hundred's of pictures I always end up taking.

Here is our photo book from the family reunion:

With the Disney photo book I used their new pocket feature so that I would have a place for all of our saved tickets and fast passes. I really like this feature.
