For those who use the Shutterfly digiscrap book style...

Yes, I made a book last weekend and had to jump through the hoops getting rid of the leather/lay flat options first. I thought I was just making an error. Thanks for the clarification.

 

Another work around is to make a copy of a book you've already made and remove all the photos from the project. This is what I do every time.

 

That's a good idea and would save a lot of time too!!

 

Yeah, I went through that last weekend when I was considering another book. Wanted to start fresh and could not find digiscrap anywhere and had the same results with the search... no thanks to a leather cover! Can't showcase the cover made especially for the book with that. Didn't like the price on it either!

Finally got things figured out and made the book I was considering. Ended up not liking it so didn't order it. Kept getting emails to print it so I deleted it. Maybe I should have just kept it like @umyesh said.

 

You can also, just found out yesterday in starting my 2nd half of covid 2020:
Open any style book then just change layout to one photo layout and click on the layout choices for one photo for each page. Like you do when you add pages after original 20 pages
This is also helpful, as there is a double page one photo page.

 

Why do they torture us?? LOL Thanks Tracie @tkradtke I started a book recently and gave up myself but know there's always another sale - sometime!

 

Ugh! What do they mean it's not popular. Pfft! Direct them our way! I might just create my own blank book with 111 pages in it and then I can just copy that one each time. Even when I used their "digiscrap" template, I always had to add a ton of pages and they never added the correct full page photo pages and I'd have to fix those all anyway. BUT, it's good to know that template isn't there anymore, so I won't freak out the next time I make a book! Ha ha!

 

@Karen It is still there, you just have to dig to find it and then make changes because they think we want leather covers... What do they really know? Not a lot about digi scrappers evidently

 

Oooh, good idea! I just started a book so it has like 2 LOs in it. I'm going to make a copy right now and remove those two pages. Easy peasy!

 

With this new sale, I hope to get my 2020 MOC book printed! god willing and the creek don't rise and Shutterfly cooperates. But... I have the book all done, hit put in cart and I get this message..

Now for the life of me I can't find WHICH page it is!! I have hit fix issues and the book opens. I hit preview and the book opens. So I still don't know which page is the issue?? I hate to hit ignore but...I guess the only other option is Call Shutterfly??

 

Thanks @tkradtke My cover is ok as I always use a reduced size of the page many of us make showing all 31 layouts!
Phew!! in that book. Now to get going on all my challenge layouts for the rest of the year up through July! 2 more books.. I do think I will reduce all of them before I upload just to have a slight white edge.

 

@tkradtke Tracie, I plan to just batch edit all the images for 3 months at a time. Sorry one more issue for me, but I just have no idea where options is? I am back to the main page/Books and am stuck again! and cannot of course delete the leather option/flat lay etc there.

 

When I started with digiscrap, I could not get rid of the expensive options as the 'standard' was grayed out. Somehow I'm making a 10x10 normal book but for the life of me I don't know how or where!

 

How do you make a copy of the book in Shuterfly?

 

Open the book you want to copy and then Save As and give it a new name.

Also you can go into My Project by clicking the down arrow next to your name... it's say Hi, Karen next to mine. Then hover over the book you want to copy and click Copy.
