Blurb Photobook Giveaway

I find that these days, although I take lots of photos I don’t actually end up with paper copies of them. Mainly due to the fact that digital photography means there is no need to go and get a film developed.

Although this is a good thing in many ways, it does mean that most of my photos end up in folders on my computer and then just forgotten about.

This is why companies like Blurb are useful because they let you turn your forgotten photos into books that you can look at as often as you please.

I was recently sent a voucher to trial their services. Depending on the book you would like to order, you either need to download their software which enables you to design a book to your own individual tastes or use their online design service.

I chose one of their Instagram books, they are a great idea as they connect to your Instagram profile and copy all your photos over so all you need to do is design the layout. The reason I went for this type of book is because the photos I upload onto Instagram are usually not the ones that I would frame, they are just photos of our everyday life. I have made a book of a years worth of our Instagram photos so that I, and the future we, can look back and remember our year. They also do Facebook books which work in the same way.

They also do blog books, wedding books, magazines, brochures, cookbooks, notebooks and planners and I have a £30 gift voucher to give away to one of my lucky readers.

If you would like to win the voucher then please follow the instructions in the Rafflecopter form below – incomplete and multiple entries will be deleted.

GOOD LUCK!

    I like the look of Blurb books. At some point in the near future (hopefully!), I’ll be looking to get my photo-a-day project printed so would be great to win some vouchers!

    A photobook would be fine. I would like to put in lots of pictures of my son and give it to him when he is older.

    I would choose the cookbook because I’m a real foodie and handwrite my recipes on bits of paper and lose them, if they were in a proper book that would be great.

    I think I would go for the blurbphotobook. I have so many beautiful pictures of my daughters but such a small amount are actually printed.
