My Blurb Book

January 2nd, 2008 @ 11:14 am by Mrs. Plum

Everyone’s been making them, so I thought I’d join in and make one for fun (you know, to keep in my purse and force people to look through it at parties winky046) - just something temporary until we order the real deal from our photographer, who makes amazing albums.

Here’s a sneak peek at the cover:

I typed up some of our wedding vows from the ceremony on the inside flap of the dust jacket:

“Hubby, I thank God for bringing you into my life. I choose you this day as my husband, my love, and my best friend. I commit myself to you openly, exclusively, and eternally. I promise you my unconditional love, I give you my unwavering trust, and I share with you all the days of my life.”

I also put several more lines from our vows throughout the book - now I can re-live the wedding day in book form too! happy056

It was super easy to get started, but slightly frustrating at times - they only have a limited number of templates and figuring out which pictures to use and what order to put them in was equally frustrating. No wonder albums cost so much - you really do have to put a lot of thought and time into putting a great one together!

Anyway, I can’t wait! It arrives next week! happy056 I’ll update you on how it turns out!

Mrs. Plum,
Good to hear from you. I look forward to hearing how yours turns out. For my purse, I used qoop.com but I’m going to make a wedding album either mypublisher or blurb.

Very nice Mrs. Plum!

I also just did a sample book and hopefully can give it to our parents as a gift. One question regarding the picture with the vows on the inside flap. Did you create that in booksmart or in Adobe? I couldn’t find the template that allowed text over the picture in Booksmart.

Mrs. Plum,

Lovely vows! Mixbook.com is a similar service and cheaper, too. Thats a great cover though.

Mrs. Plum, did you have to get the original photos from your photographer to do your blurb book? Or are these images from others’ cameras?

G - my photographer gave me all the proofs a couple weeks after the wedding, so I used some of those :)

Abbey - I used Booksmart to do everything- i’m not very tech savvy :-P
