Anyone ever get one? Good quality? I won one today and wondered about them. Thanks!

Love them! Easy to use and I love the embellishments that are available to add to the pages for free. Get mine off of groupon so I only have to pay shipping costs.

I have three and LOVE them all...not sure why some would say they aren't professional. Mine are well bound and have held up well for my purpose. I've used them for three trips -- Hawaii, Atlantis and Alaska. Times where I don't want a whole scrapbook but have a lot of pictures.
If you watch for sales and coupons, you can generally get 50% off and free shipping. My 105 page AK book was a little more than $100. Printing the pictures alone would have cost more than that!

I too don't understand the "they're not professional quality" comment? This unrefined hillbilly thinks they're quite nice. I made several as gifts when I put together a heritage type album. I finally made one for myself and have always been pleased.

I've made a couple and I agree that they're not professional quality. They're good for what they are - simply looking at a variety of photos that happened to be bound together.
I've also bought albums from companies professional-level companies. The quality is much better. The color is more accurate, the pages lie flat, two-page spreads are lined up perfectly, the paper is a much better quality and the covers are so much nicer.

I had a code for a free one recently. There are either a lot of new options for backgrounds, embellishments, etc, or I just didn't realize there were so many options when I made my first one!

The company can't make your photos what they are not.
I have been very pleased with the 3 books I have created.
Many embellishments have been added since I made the first book.
I'm happy with what I have received. Watch for coupons to save 50%.

professional quality: a professional photographer's standard. They are fine for us amateurs.

I like them. I've done soft cover and hard cover books and the quality is good.

I made a hard cover photo book for my daughter about her and her AG dolls and trips to AGPLA. Came out great and she loves it.
Going to do one this next month about her school years in elementary.

I have made close to 30 of them and would highly recommend them. Great quality for the price and I always wait for a coupon and free shipping.

I like them. I agree that they are not professional quality, though I don't need that level for what I'm using the books for. I have made 2 Project 365 12x12 albums and have been very very happy with how those turned out. I'm working on my 3rd now. I think I will pay for the lay flat page option this time though because I don't like struggling to read my journaling when it's in the crack.  . If you sign up for emails from Shutterfly, they often send out codes for free 8x8 albums. I have made bunches of those. They're great too. The last one I made was for my 4 year old, full of pictures she had taken with my phone. She was so tickled by it!  |

I've made a few and I like them, but that said they are just okay. The colors in the photos aren't as nice as regular printed photos, and for that reason they will never replace my regular scrapbook pages. Also, unless they have really improved the online interface for making the albums, I found the process to be slow and cumbersome. If I was ever going to do another book through them I would do all of the pages in PSE first and just upload the fully designed layouts to Shutterfly to print and bind.

I have a handful and have been happy with the outcome. I don't do any of the special layouts/embellishments though--simple black or white backgrounds.
