Now even the creatively-challenged, too-busy, do-it-tomorrow types of moms like me have no excuse.
HP has made it so simple to create a professional looking photo memory book that even I have to admit I can take a few minutes to capture my family’s memories.
These days scrapbooking seems to be the hobby for moms. But some of us are either too intimidated or too busy to take up the craft. And so our photos remain as bits and bytes on our hard drives, or collect dust in cardboard boxes. (Janice loves to scrapbook but hasn’t made time for it in the last couple years. I’m a bit embarrassed to admit I have never even attempted to scrapbook.)
But now, with these easy to use photo books from HP, busy moms like myself can create a photo book complete with inspiring designs, custom captions and journaling.
The photo books come in a variety of colors and in two sizes: 5″ x 7″ or 8.5″ x 11.
You can print the pages on any inkjet printer or for an even more professional touch, you can use an HP Photosmart printer. In August we featured the HP Photosmart A626 Compact Photo Printer which you can use to print 5″ x 7″ photo books.
Creating your photo book is a simple 1-2-3:
- Into your computer, insert the CD that comes with your new photo book and run the simple install program.
- Point and click your way through the wizard to choose your design, size, layout, and photos—even add text.
- Press print, then stack and slide your pages into the photo book. You can add new pages whenever you like.
The unique binding allows you to insert other memories such as wedding invitations, birthday cards, birth announcements and more.
You can all get started with these photo books right away…
Two of you will receive a free book and everyone else can save 20% on their own photo books until December 31st by clicking here.
If you’d like to be entered in the draw for a free photo book, let us know in a comment on this post.
(This contest is limited to US shipping addresses.)
We will draw the two winners on Tuesday, Oct 25th.
Happy memory making!

How is it that my husband works for HP and I never hear about these great items they have?
Count me in! I would love to win a photo book!
This is so much cooler than the old stick-on scrapbook pages I put my photos on when I was a kid!
THis looks like my kind of scrap booking!
I absolutely love the idea of being able to work on the scrapbook online and then printing it from there. It not only makes the process more doable, but it also ensures that the end product looks highly professional in quality. Yet, in order to take advantage of this, you can only be using digital pictures. One thing to consider, however, is that if you want to do the same type of thing with older pictures of yours that are not currently in digital form, get them scanned and then you’ll be able to do this for all of your photos!!
I’d love to give it a try, I usually order them online.
Ooh I want to make my own book!
Love it!
I could always use something like this!!!
Photo books are awesome! I’d love to win one!
This would definitely help out with the mountain of photos slowly taking over the house…
Please enter me in your drawing.
Would be great to have this!
