The book is just under 12x12 and a little over 60 pages. I have to say I like it, but I don't love it. The pages seem to be a bit hazy--not super crisp and sharp. Also, A LOT of my layouts were cropped or lost in the binding. I went back to my preview online to make sure I didn't miss something when I uploaded it, and I didn't. My pages do not show up cropped online. I ended up filling out a review of my book but have yet to hear from them. I'm chalking it up as a free book and lesson learned--I won't use Inkubook in the future. Their not horrible, just I think you get what you pay for.
I also got a coupon in my inbox from Shutterfly for a free 8x8 so I decided to do something with all my photo collages from o6 and 07. Remember these? I played with them just a little bit, added some journaling title pages, and uploaded them to the Shutterfly website. And voila! I have to say, I'm a Shutterfly Snob. I really like this book and think the colors and crispness are better quality than the Inkubook. The downside....Shutterfly can be WAY more expensive, but I'm thinking it's worth it when preserving our memories.

Thanks so much for reviewing these! I actually haven't used my free coupon yet and I've been trying to figure out what I wanted to use it for, and I think that maybe I'll just pick a vacation that wasn't my favorite. ;) Of course, I don't upload full layouts like you, so at least I shouldn't have the cut-off edges issue.
you inspire me. what can I say. Packing, sewing, and preserving memories. stop being such an overachiever, will you?. :) really though, thanks for the reviews. I really want to do one now. One thing, I did not give you permission to print a shot of me in my swimsuit. I'm going to have to sick my publicity agent on you now.
I love that you did this review because I am always looking for great deals on Photobooks. So i'll remember that they aren't the greatest.
p.s. I LOVE your sewing project it's dang cute and I love the fabrics you chose!
You're amazing! By the way you should check out this site if you already haven't: http://shealynnbenner.blogspot.com/. You can probably make the stuff she gives away so I thought of you. Give Jordan a squeeze for me!
Have you ever used Winkflash? I used them once and i liked them. But it isn't free. You should move to WA so you can teach me what you know on Photoshop.
