Guestbook - Link to mine in post

akstanl

I made a guestbook using shutterfly. I have never done this before and am not very creative without a lot of inspiration LOL

Here is a link to my guestbook. I was thinking about changing around some of the backgrounds. I pretty much put the pics into the storyboard, selected the theme and it built it for me. I did a little more cropping and moving, but otherwise it selected where and when to put what backgrounds and which layouts would work best.

Any suggestions and comments would be greatly appreciated!

No link? Or am I blind?

I can let  you see a copy of mine that I did on shutterfly if you want some inspiration.

Definitely no link, haha. I'd be happy to look at it for you though once you post the link.

HK's turned out really great, so I'm sure yours is good too!

The link was imbedded in the word Here, it doesn't make it look like it's there so I went back and edited it to be bold and underlined. Also, for those that did use shutterfly, what pens would you recommend for writing on that paper so it doesn't run, smudge or anything else I won't want it to do. Thanks!!

Okay, I got it now.  All fancy smancy with the imbedding link and all.  I guess I'm an old-school Knottie now!

It looks nice.  Have you thought about adding any quotes or text? 

We used fine point sharpie pens, and they worked out great.

Oooh gettin' fancy with the hyperlink! LOL!

As for your photobook:
I think its great! I love that it's simple, but still lets you incorporate the wintery theme. I don't think I would change a thing! :-) Nice work!

hkiesling, can you post your book, I am starting on mine as well. 

akstanl, I agree with hkiesling, I think putting some quotes would look nice. but I love it as is, so if you dont want to change it, no need.

Did that work?

I love it!!! Now I'm thinking I want to make on. Do you mind if I ask how much it was? And did it take much time to make?

hkiesling

Or not.  Okay, try this: http://hkiesling.shutterfly.com/

It should be near the bottom of the page.

Shutterfly is having a 20% off sale right now and free shipping on orders over $30.  How much it is depends on the size of book you order and the type of cover you want.  www.shutterfly.com

(Just wanted to say I've let Knot Annie and Jen know that they should be underlining URLs so they are visible as links.  Workaround is underlining them ourselves when we post.)

We did a photo guest book from Shutterfly too - it worked out great for us!

I love it! The only thing that I would change are the pages where one side has the snowflakes and the facing page doesn't. It seems a bit asymmetrical, but maybe that's just me. I'd like to have snowflakes on both the facing pages, or switch off where one set of facing pages has them, then you flip the page and there aren't any on the next set of pages.  Not sure if that makes sense...

It looks great!  I wouldn't change a thing!

I recently made a Shutterfly guestbook too.  I was able to use a $20 shutterfly giftcard that I got for free for registering at Target.  I'm not sure if they are still giving these out, but it might be worth checking into.

I made a snapfish guestbook and it worked out really well. Here's the link: http://tinyurl.com/y9y5l25

As far as the pens go I HIGHLY recommend Slick Writers by American Crafts. They come in black and colors, but are made specifically for writing on shiny paper. I am even using them on my glossy vistaprint thank you cards and they work great! (I found mine at Michael's, I think someone else said they also found them at Archiver's)
