Not Everyone's Mama

Perfect gift idea – Actually, perfect holiday idea for making those holiday cards to send out!

Do you have those holiday cards made yet?

That’s something I do every single year.  My previous years’ cards that I have made looked like this –

This year I went with a different look.  I made a tree that looks (hopefully) like my children drew it and used my kids pictures as ornaments.

I wanted simpler this year.  I’m not sure why.  It just felt right.

The card was made and the next decision was, who do I go with to print it out?  I decided on MyPublisher.  

They have a program you can download and I thought it was super easy to use.  I used the card that just looked like a picture.  Uploaded my image to the blank one, ordered it, and it was done.  My cards will be shipped in 2 – 5 days and I’ll have them by Dec 1 to ship out to friends and family.

They also have TONS of styles to choose from if you just want to add your picture and not design it from scratch like I do.  (It’s the digital scrapbooker in me that has to do that every year!)  They have elegant, fun, simple, so many styles to choose from.

I can’t wait to get the cards and see how it turns out.

For the digiscrappers out there, they also print out 12X12’s if you go that route instead of printing them into a book.  Then again, they also offer books.  You can go with whichever product you like!  Awesome!

MyPublisher gets a

Perfect gift idea – Make your gifts this holiday season!  Have those pictures that are sitting on your hard drive made into a beautiful (very reasonable priced) will be cherished for years photo book for your family and friends.

Awesome new product out right now that I think a lot of my blog readers will be interested in!  My first readers who ever started visiting my blog, my digiscrapping friends, will LOVE this!  I think all of my newer readers/followers/friends/family will think this is really cool too.

Traditionally, when you make a photo book, you go to a site, upload all of your photos and fiddle around with it there.

When you download (it’s free! try it!) Nero Kwik Media, you can do all of that on your computer without taking it to a website now. 

It was really simple to do.

Download the software.

Install.

The program automatically finds your pictures for you.

Then go to Create A Photo Product.

From there you can, in my case, add all of your scrapbook pages, and start creating your book.

If you are using a 3600 X 3600 page, you can just drag and drop it where you want it, then click on use as background image.

It places it perfectly where you need it.

Continue on through each page and your back cover.

Preview.

Order.

You order it straight from the program.

Very cool.

The prices are more than competitive in my opinion too.  $12.99 for a 20 page soft cover book.  Think of how many Christmas presents you could give out at that price!  Homemade, photos of your loved ones, your scrap pages, for $12.99.

If you aren’t a scrapper, this program is really for you.

There are backgrounds included, frames, drop shadows, everything you need to create this book.  Just pick your theme (including holidays and kids!), drag, drop, and position your pictures, add your text, preview, and order.

Seriously, it could not be any simpler.

I honestly think anyone could use this program.

Does it do more than make photo books?

Yes!

You can burn CDs, watch HD movies you burned to blue ray, make slideshows, share on Facebook and YouTube, sync with your Android device (happy!  I have an HTC Evo 4G), and of course order your photo books, calendars, and greeting cards.

You might want to check this page out because I found a 40% off coupon code.  That makes your soft cover photo book less than $8.00.

I was really impressed with this.  Doing what I do with digital scrapbooking, I am used to being very technical, measuring edges for bleed, using templates, all of that stuff to get my books just right.

I didn’t have to do that here.

Drag, drop, done.

Head on over and download Nero Kwik Media for free!  Give it a shot!

Excellent product Nero!  I give you kudos and a

for being an awesome easy to product to help families record their memories.  I would like to give my own tip.  If you have more than one child, get a copy of each photo book made for each kid.  That way, when they move away and start their own families, they each have these books to take with them.  That’s how I do it.  I always want to fight with my siblings over my mom’s pics.  This way it’s taken care of.

Disclosure: This post is part of a SocialMoms product evaluation, for which I’ve been selected. One free photo book was made available to me for review purposes. I’ve been compensated for my time with a $100 PayPal payment. The opinions expressed in this post are mine and don’t necessarily reflect the opinions of SocialMoms or Nero.
