Playing Dress-up

So Shutterfly and Creating Keepsakes have teamed up to offer another free 8x8 photobook--this time I decided that I was really going to take advantage of it. When I went online to look at the pre-made templates, I saw that they had a cute ABC book. That made me think of how fun it would be for Maia to have a Princess ABC book. Problem was, the pre-made template was very neutral colors and didn't allow for real "princessey" stuff. I was talking to Megan about it one day and she, of course, had a great suggestion....take a million pictures of Maia in different princess dress-up's and poses and make my own ABC book (did you know that you can do amazing things with Powerpoint?? That is what I used to make all of my pages for the book). Yes, I really am unworthy to be her friend, she comes up with the cutest ideas and does SOOOOOO much for me. I keep telling her that maybe someday I will have a talent or two to offer to her, but who knows! So anyway, last week I packed up 2 garbage bags full of princess gear and headed over to Megan's house for a photoshoot.....the pictures turned out so cute!! Megan photoshopped them and then put them on a CD for me and I got to work designing Maia's book... "A Princesses Book of ABC's." So before we get to the pictures of some of the pages I have been working on, you need to do two things....first, visit Megan's photography blog HERE and set up a time to have her take your family pictures, and second, log on to shutterfly.com/inspire and create your 8x8 book of the wonderful pictures that Megan just took for you! After you have your pictures, just get on Powerpoint and arrange/design the pages how you want or you can just use the pre-made templates from Shutterfly, either way you really should take advantage of it! Here is the promotion code for the free book: CK47-9RS4-FR8H-62FA0W, and the offer is only good until the 28th of Feb. so you better hurry! And here are a few of the pages that I've put together so far...it has been so fun making it and I know Maia will LOVE it--I mean what 2 year old wouldn't love to look at princess pictures of themselves??!
