How I Use Mixbook To Capture Our Kids Memories
I use Mixbook to create beautiful and unique photo books. It is one of the easiest sites I’ve used to customize our memories and every time we show friends and family they are so impressed with the creativity and quality of our photo books.
To start, go to Mixbook, enter your email and create an account so that you can upload your photos and save everything. This can be a quick creation or you might have to do it little by little depending on how much creativity you have.
You simply add/remove pages, drag and drop graphics, play around with templates, colors, text, and sizes to suit your needs. You can create something beautiful from scratch or they have predefined templates for us busy moms, either way, you are going to love it.
I’ve done one for my youngest daughter Nariyah. (Hardcover example)
I’ve also created photo books of several of our vacations, here is our trip to Chicago. (Soft cover example)
This is the latest photo book project I’ve been working on, my son Matthew’s baby book. I plan on giving him for his 13th birthday 🙂
Mixbook Tips
When creating a vacation photo book and you have multiple kids, print additional copies so that each kid has one. Or, if printing a baby or birthday book, create multiple copies for the grandparents. Trust me they will love and cherish these.
Mixbook also has a cool app called Mosiac, that lets you create a special memory book right from your phone. (ios only for now)
