Mixbook Deal

Ok, so remember how I was telling all of you about Mixbook the other day? And about how easy to use and awesome it is? :) Of course, you do.

Well, I just received notice that they’re having a sale on their custom cards.

Just like their photobook service, you can do cards and calendars on their site, too. And it’s the same editing interface as the photobooks, so you have the same flexibility, same everything.  Seriously – these are well done.  Their cards also have the option for you to print double-sided.   We received these from two different people this year and – let me tell you – these are high quality cards. The cardstock is of a heavier weight and they look professionally done.  My friends who sent them say they have received a ton of compliments on them.  We didn’t send Christmas cards this year (planning on Valentine’s cards instead), but Mixbook is definitely where I am planning to spend my money.

But what’s the sale? Save 30% off cards at Mixbook!  Ok, here are the details:  Between now and January 1st, 2012, you can save 30% off New Year’s and Thank You cards with coupon code CARDSAVE30  (code valid from December 29, 2011 04:00am PST until January 1, 2012 11:59pm PST. Cannot be combined with other coupons, vouchers, Groupons or applied after an order has been placed. Taxes, shipping and handling will apply. No adjustments on previous purchases).

Enjoy! These would make GREAT cards for Thank You cards throughout the year or if you want to maybe make a gift for next year. (I used scenic photos I had taken to make a pack of thank you cards for my husband’s grandmother one year. She loved them!).

Our Family History

Just finished another photobook on Mixbook.  This is by far the easiest site to use for digital scrapbooking. It does not require that you download any software, there are a ton of embellishments waiting for you to use. Or you can upload things you have purchased online (.png format) and use those.  Seriously. It can’t get any easier.  If you are so inclined, you can use an outside program and upload finished pages, but… it’s just not necessary.

And then the final product: awesome.  I now have an 11×8 hardcover book, stitch-bound (my criteria!) that will keep for years. My only critique is that I prefer a matte cover, instead of glossy. And you can’t combine coupon codes on your order. :(  [UPDATE March 27, 2012: Mixbook has now changed their binding to GLUE binding. And they did not tell their users when they made the switch!]

My latest project: a family history book for dummies. And those dummies would be my family. :) I wanted to create a book just about Our Direct Line. No residual descendants, etc. While I may want to know the names and dates of every generation, my brother does not. And I wanted to combine the genealogy research with the pictures I’ve gathered. Enter: a photobook.  And where do I go? My trusted Mixbook. Enjoy!
