Shutterfly

Shutterfly has something the other sites don't have -- you can use different edges when creating your photo book. Edges can make your photo look like it is put on the page with a thumbtack, a traditional photo album corner, or even create a pinking sheer look to the sides of the picture. You can do this in Picaboo if you download something special for that, but it comes with the standard load from Shutterfly.

If you want to borrow someone else's creativity, you can see the books other people have done and make one like their 8x8. It is fun and easy.

Kid's Adventure Books are available. You upload a picture of your child and a few facts and the book is completely personalized. A good thing to check out!

"Our Family Photo Book" by Martha Stewart is a nice addition for those photo bookers who want to create a family history. You have the ability to put a timeline to your story and to bring two sides of the tree together on a page (such as a husband and wife).

Shutterfly also has "guided books". These guided books are an easy way to create a special themed book. A complete list is give in our Idea Center.
