It’s that time of the year. No, I don’t mean wrapping gifts and baking – though those are two other tasks that dominate in December. What I mean is that it’s the time of the year when I realize that I’m sadly behind in printing photos and panic because another year is upon us. It’s also time to create next year’s photo calendar! Last year I did it locally and it was so boring. This year I’m ordering ours online, and will be checking out the options at Elephoto.ca for that.
This month, however, I had the opportunity to try out Elephoto’s Photo Book creation process right on their site. It’s been at least a year since I made one and thankfully – you don’t need to be a scrapbooking guru to make beautiful photobooks online with this company (hooray!)
The process was so easy. All I had to do was upload photos to the site in an album, then drag and drop the photos onto the pages after I decided which layout I’d like for each page. Simple accents could be added, text was easy to insert and change the size of as needed, and I could preview the book at every step along the way to see how the story flowed, to to speak.
Since we recently had a great family photo session with a photographer when my daughter was baptized in October, I used those photos to create a photo book sharing that event. So, although she doesn’t yet have a baby book started, we have a beautiful hard cover photo book detailing her baptism.

I would make an 8×8 photo book, hard cover, I usually go for generic themes so I can customize the book to my own liking. A tip I read online was to make a generic one and get rub ons to embellish the pages as they aren’t as thick as stickers and such 🙂
