    I had been toying with the idea of switching printers (away from Shutterfly) and I finally decided to just go for it and got my 2024 Memory Planner printed with Mixbook. The printing is gorgeous -- the colors are vibrant and accurate and the pages are a lovely thick photo paper. I absolutely love it! :love

    My book is 8.5x11", 127 pages (a 2 page spread a week plus some extra pages for vacations/events) and cost $181. I took advantage of a sale they were having that gave 40-50% off everything. Here are a few of the pages:

    And I posted a little flip through reel on Insta

    I highly recommend Mixbook for printing. I have to keep working on flattening the pages but next time I might get layflat.

    Thank you! We joke about how in my family, we never say the "F" word -- that is "finish". So, I'm glad to have it finished!!

    Wow! You're right, the colors really do look amazing! You've got me wondering if I should try them out on my next book... I've been using Shutterfly mostly because of their unlimited pages sale for a LONG time.

    I have just been a little disappointed in my Shutterfly photo books lately. The paper and colors have been underwhelming. I was a little nervous to try Mixbook because it did seem more expensive (although I don’t think I’ve printed a book this big at Shutterfly so it’s hard to compare directly). But I couldn’t be happier and given the fact that this is the only thing I printed all year, worth it even if it is a bit more money.

    No, I just made them using the rectangle tool in Photoshop. It was really quite easy. :)
