Right now I have hundreds of photographs in a pile on the floor staring me in the face. They seem to be screaming, “FILE ME!” “PUT ME IN AN ALBUM” “ORGANIZE ME!” “GET TO IT, WOMAN!” Day after day, I walk by the pile, add photo albums and more photos and walk away. I think to myself, there must be a better solution than this. I’ve been organizing the kid’s photos in albums since they were babies. I can’t stop now.
That’s why I was happy to find out about Shutterfly’s new Custom Path Photo Books. They’re customized photo albums and are great souvenirs after a family vacation. You and your kids can sit down and make them together. Here are some of the new features that make these albums unique:
- You can design your pages just the way you want and can move text and pictures anywhere on the page.
- You can choose from a collection of new backgrounds, layouts and embellishments
- You can arrange your photos in the order they were taken or edit the order as you like.
- You can try Idea Pages, pre-designed page templates to personalize your storytelling.
- You can use a photo as page background.
- In addition, you can choose the type of cover you want: soft, hard, padded, faux lizard or leather.
With the new Custom Path Photo Books, you can capture memories with the click of your mouse.
The thought of putting our photos from a recent trip to Disney World together is looking more and more possible, and not as over-whelming. I love the idea of creating a memory album and like the fact that my kids can join in on the artistic work….plus, there will be smaller piles of photos if I don’t have to order the actual pictures.

I subscribe via feed – and I would make a book of my baby’s first milestones on her first year. She’ll be turning 1 in July!!! Where has the time gone?!

I’m pretty good about putting pictures in “old school” albums but I had this idea to do theme pages for my daughter like all her First Days of School, Halloweens etc. This give away would be a perfect way to start. I love all your diverse postings and offers. Way to go!
Subscribing via feedburner. I would use this Shutterfly album to create a “summer album” of my family’s activities. Summer is my absolute favorite time of year. Pick me!!! And, both my kids have July birthdays.
Followed you on Google Reader… Like you, I have SO many photos & ideas. I’m not sure exactly what I’d choose for a free album but I have recently started digital scrapbooking and I’d love (to find the time!) to make 20 different square layouts and get those done in a book.

Congrats, Mamagames!
I’m receiving your newsletter via feedburner. I make my own photo collages and a shutterly book would definitely be a great place to have them all in one place.

Would love this to make an organized album for my kids.
Love your website, Culture Mom
