Adoption

Re-working our profile book - need advice

We're going a new route and this time we are required to do a profile book. The last one we did is not mandatory so we just put on together. This time we have more a specific look to try and model.

I know many of you have talked about different programs you have used to create your books, but I cannot find the posts. Please let me know what you used, where you found it, if there was a cost, etc. Also, if you visited sites to get ideas or advice on putting a book together, that would be helpful.

I don't want to shell out an arm and a leg, and would love to have a fairly user-friendly program to use.

  • We used scrapblog.com. Someone else owns them now. I downloaded the pages and had them printed at Kinkos. The cost was pretty minimal to set up (I used free embellishments because I"m cheap--LOL), so the bigger cost was printing, which still wasn't that awful. That said, we were only required to do a 2-pager.

    If scrapblog hadn't worked out I would have just done it in Powerpoint on our computer.

    We didn't visit sites. Our agency gave us guidelines. PM me if you want them.

  • We used Mixbook..(they may have bought scrapblog?? if I remember correctly). Super duper easy. And the books were reasonable. Also retailmenot.com always has coupons for this sight to buy one get one etc..

    We had to do a book..so our's is hard cover 8 x11 etc..
