MYPUBLISHER MINI BOOK FREE
(I downloaded a free Disney font for that cover.) Sometimes, though, I still choose to put the text into an empty spot in the photo, like in the Disney book below. I then import the picture to My Publisher and use it as my cover. I just open a photo, choose a geometric overlay and add text on top of the overlay.
(PicMonkey does have a subscription for premium features, but the features you need to make a cover like this are all free.)
MYPUBLISHER MINI BOOK SOFTWARE
I used to use Picasa, a free software from Google, but now I use PicMonkey, a web-based editing software that offers many more options. To make one like the book on the left, though, you’ll need to use some other photo editing software. MyPublisher does offer a text tool in their software, which you can use to make a cover like the Myrtle Beach one below. There’s also a book jacket option, but in terms of durability, I don’t think that could possibly compete with the photo finish option.Īnd I am all about durability. (So much easier to organize the books this way!) The large front and back photos are great, as is the wipeable surface and the fact that you can label the spine. Of late, the Living Social and Groupon deals from MyPublisher have been including a photo finish cover, and once I tried that, I never looked back. So if you have a bunch of these on your bookshelf, it’ll be hard to pull out the book you want unless you choose different colors for every book. Perhaps the biggest downside, though, is that there’s no marking on the spine. These are ok, but they have a couple of downsides.įirst off, they’re not super wipeable, and if you choose the black fabric, it does tend to show if you get a little something wet or dirty on it.Īlso, the photo on the front is fairly small. My first few books have the basic linen cover with a small photo in the front. So, before we get to the giveaway, I thought I’d share a few tips that can make your photo books more beautiful. I’ve made 14 MyPublisher books now (all with deals from Living Social and Groupon!), and I’ve learned a few things along the way. So of course, I said yes because I dearly love to work with companies I’ve faithfully patronized. 😉 )Īnyway, I’ve shared about my photo books several times before, and recently, MyPublisher contacted me to see if I’d be interested in working with them and also giving away some photo books to you guys. I’m thinkin’ there might be a bit more than a correlation between the two. (I used to be a faithful scrapbooker, but somewhere around the time I started blogging, scrapbooking began to take a back seat. I’ve been staying caught up on recent photos and also working backwards to get caught up. As you all already know, for the last two years, I’ve been busily churning out MyPublisher photo books.
