I was a scrapbooker for years, and I still have a closet full of now outdated scrapbooking products to show for it. The expense and time requirements for scrapbooking just became too much and I haven’t scrapbooked traditionally in years. I still love creating and giving personal photobooks as gifts and I wanted to share my most recent creation with you.
I made this 11×8.5″ hardcover photobook at Mixbook.com for my mother-in-law’s 65th birthday gift. In March 27 family members joined together at an awesome vacation home in Homosassa, FL for a family gathering. I used many of the photos I took that weekend to make this Photobook for my mother-in-law.
The Mixbook online software is rather easy to use. Like traditional scrapbooking, there are a lot of page layouts and additional embellishments you can use to personalize your pages. I spent about 2 hours on the site creating my 20 page hardcover book which costs $29.99.

I have tried three different companies…and I was not overly impressed w/two of them (and one I love), so when someone writes about this one I tend to overlook it. Until now! Your book looks really, really great! I know the chances of me giving Mixbook a try in the future are high now. I’m kind of excited about it, actually. 🙂
I love making photo books for gifts!
Thanks for sharing!
The book looks so professional!! I must check out Mixbook.com soon.
That came our really awesome. I will have to take a look at this!
