Eventually I'm going to have a lot of these so it just makes sense to make the chronological, you know?

The software blurb offers has some pretty decent photo only layouts but when you want to combine text, its not as ideal unless you want something much more basic. So I do all of the layouts that involve text in a separate program and then upload them as a single image into the book. Hope that helps!Mrs. Limestonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06159249562273770481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-65670835517293533902014-02-26T10:59:19.185-05:002014-02-26T10:59:19.185-05:00I love your templates / fonts.

I've used them all along (and wanted all of these books to be the same size so I haven't tried any of the competition). I am very happy with the quality relative to the price. Some other companies have come out with fancier cover options which would be a nice to have but tend to be more expensive. The photo printing is always excellent so that is what I find to be more important. I have seen the books printed by my publisher and shutterfly and wasn't as impressed but this was a few years ago so they may very well have upped their game.<br /><br />I think it would certainly make a great wedding album provided you weren't set on a linen engraved or leather cover.Mrs. Limestonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06159249562273770481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-64040493963517568562014-02-26T09:39:44.924-05:002014-02-26T09:39:44.924-05:00Love love love!
