This is a joint giveaway with Hobo Mama Reviews and Natural Parents Network. You may enter at one site only. Please find the section marked "Win it!" for the mandatory main entry and optional bonus entries.
This is a lightning-FAST giveaway that ends THIS FRIDAY, Dec. 10, to allow you ample time for holiday shipping, so enter quickly!
PicabooPicaboo offers customized photo books, cards, and calendars, any of which would be perfect for holiday gifts and treasured keepsakes! One lucky winner will receive a coupon for a free 20-page Classic photo book, valued at up to $39.99.
Please note that this giveaway prize coupon does NOT include shipping costs, which allows us to open this giveaway internationally. Shipping from Picaboo starts at $7.99 for ground shipping to the continental United States. The winner is responsible for verifying and paying shipping and any surcharges to the applicable destination.
This coupon covers one of these different Classic photo book styles:
- Classic Linen books feature a traditional photo book design with a die-cut window on the front cover, allowing your image and caption from the first page to show through the cover when the book is closed.
Classic Linen with die-cut window
- Classic Custom hardcover books add a "wow" factor and a professional touch to your book with a completely customized cover that really makes an impact. Create a one-of-a-kind cover featuring the layout, background, images, and text of your choice on the front cover, back cover and spine.
Classic Custom hardcover, with your photos on the front cover, spine, and back cover
- Classic Leather books have a rich, smooth finish and formal, timeless design that speaks to their lasting quality. These covers are easier to care for than the Classic Linen, which can show fingerprints and other markings more easily.
Classic Leather, in either smooth finish or croc-embossed (see below)
- Croc-embossed leather books feature our classic design and durable bonded leather with a stylish embossed finish. Less formal and more "fun", croc-embossed leather can jazz up any photo book. (No – it’s not real crocodile skin! The croc design is embossed on Picaboo's standard Classic bonded leather.)
Creating photo books with Picaboo is easy and fun. Photo books can be fully customized by dragging-and-dropping photos and captions anywhere on your pages, and Picaboo's easy software allows you creative control so you can make each special page look just the way you want it to.
Giveaway details (please note!):
- This coupon is good for one 20-page Classic photo book in any style.
- It does NOT cover additional pages over 20.
- It does NOT cover applicable shipping costs.
- The coupon will expire on December 30, 2010.
- The ground shipping cutoff for the continental United States (to have your book by Christmas) is Tuesday, December 14.
- Picaboo currently ships to the listed countries. Please verify shipping price and availability before entering if you require international shipping.
I haven't used Picaboo's software or printing yet, but Sam and I have made photo books for several years now from a couple companies. They're a perfect way to organize and show off your favorite photos and preserve them professionally for generations to come. This year, as in a past Christmas, we've put together a charming collection of photos of our adorable Mikko and ordered several copies: one to keep, and one each for the grandparents and a doting aunt. Back when we were the doting aunt and uncle, we put together a photo book of our niece's first two years to give to her parents and grandparents. We also arranged our favorite artsy shots of Seattle, for our own enjoyment and to display for visitors. Every photo book has been a huge hit!If you're like me and love the idea of scrapbooking but lack the follow-through, making a digital scrapbook is the perfect way to keep layout and organization easy and hassle-free. No trimming photos by hand or hunting for the glue stick — just drag and drop, and you're done! You can even customize with captions and text.
Some great ideas for photo books include a petite brag book for the grandparents to carry around, a coffee table book of baby's first year, an illustrated retelling of your birth story, a beautifully arranged album of wedding photos, a memento of a recent trip or family reunion, a collection of pictures that speak to you about a particular time or subject, a portfolio of your favorite photographs, a gift for a dear couple on a special anniversary, a memorial to a departed loved one, a preservation of family heritage, or whatever else you can think of to commemorate!The reason we're ending this giveaway so very soon is that it does take some effort to organize and edit your photos, learn the Picaboo software, and arrange everything to your liking before sending it to be published. Since the ground shipping cutoff (for holiday delivery to the continental U.S.) is next Tuesday, Dec. 14, we're ending the giveaway this Friday night, Dec. 10, to give the winner plenty of time to craft a masterpiece over the weekend!

I love the simplicity of the Classic linen books. I'd get red or black. I can't decide. Our furniture is all red so maybe if I got red books they'd go nicely with the livingroom scheme. (How uncool did that just sound. Ugh, you can tell I'm officially an old lady when I talk about our "decorating scheme"!)

If I got a different Picaboo product, I think it would be the calendar. I've made calendars for family Christmas presents before and they are always happily received.

entry #2
I have never published a photo book. I need to, tho. We've been digital for about 8 years, so we don't have very many, if any, pics from my first pregnancy onwards and I've always wanted to make a digital scrapbook and publish it.

I'm planning to keep any photo book I might win! That may be selfish, but I'm betting there will be more photo books and I'll give one of those away :)

the hardcover, definitely!
pulchrabliss at hotmail dot com
I like the classic linen with peek a boo window in red
entry#1
The book would focus on the first year (or two) of our daughter's life.
(I should be using this to do a proper wedding album but that's been on the back burner for 11 years now so what's another)
entry#2
I checked out Picaboo's other products and the calendar's appeal to me - we've been intending to do a collaborative one with pictures of all the grandchildren for my parents but haven't got our act together the past couple of years and haven't even discussed it yet this year.
entry#3
I've never done a photo book - calendars and cards but not a book
entry#4
While I do intend on pulling together two photo albums (one for each set of grandparents) with photos from the past year or two - the photo book would be ours to keep.

I'd create a Classic Linen with die-cut window in brown or cream color! So classy - so beautiful!

Id' like to make a custom cover book using my digital scrapbook pages.
foster2forever at my gmail acct.
I'd pick the linen hardcover one
nilatti@gmail.com
The book would be my pregnancy and little baby--he's our first, and we have loads of digital photos, but none printed!
I haven't ever done a photo book before, but my stepdad did one for his wedding to my mom, and I loved it.
I would keep this one! But I might make another one to give to the baby's great-grandmother, who doesn't have internet.
If I got another picaboo product, assuming there was time to get them before Christmas, I'd order some cards--probably the starry swirl ones.

If I won, I would choose the linen hardcover in green with hinged pages. Very nice!

If I won, the subject of my book would be of my kids. :-)
rachel [at] copiousgypsy [dot] com
I love digital scrapbooking, but have yet to actually print a book, /sigh. Too many to choose from. I think if I won I'd probably go for the classic, though the custom one is tempting too.
attachedmama {at} shaw {dot} ca
I think if I won I'd finally finish the ABC album I started for my daughter last Christmas.
I think the Picaboo calendar would be my next favorite product. Although, I think the Madison photo book runs a pretty close second.
rachel [at] copiousgypsy [dot] com
I had a small photo book printed for my son with pictures of a birthday trip to see WWF. :-) He was very excited and still has it.
rachel [at] copiousgypsy [dot] com
I love their calendars! We are thinking of making a family calendar for ourselves this year.
If I win the Picaboo photo album, I'm keeping it! LOL

I started albums to print last year! I have an ABC book for my daughter close to done, as well as a book of our 2009 year that we were going to print copies of to give to family. Neither ended up actually getting printed though. I was pregnant at the time, and then had a newborn, and it was one of those projects that just never got finished.
I'd probably make an ABC album for my daughter. So technically I'd be giving it to her but she's three so it would stay in my house. :)

I would get the Classic Custom book, I like the fact that I can make a custom cover of one of my favorite photos for the book!

The subject of the photo book would be my daughter's 9th birthday party coming up this weekend at the local bowling alley, a great way to commemorate the occasion with family and friends!
micaela6955 at msn dot com
another product I like are the calendars, its a great way to take your favorite 12 photos and put them into a calendar for a relative who lives far away, so that each month they get a great photo of a loved one...
micaela6955 at msn dot com
I only have one other photo book, and it was from our vacation and my daughter's (better late than never) Baptism and party in Guatemala.

If I were lucky enough to win, I would keep it of course!

I would pick a chocolate colored one!
If I won, I'd do pictures of my daughter for her to keep!
I like Picaboo's Madison photobook! Gorgeous!
I've never had a photobook done before, though I've seen them and they are aweseome!
I would give it to my daughter! Well, it would stay on our shelf until she's older.

I like the classic leather book (smooth finish please!).
I'd do a photo montage of our 2010 memories.
The calendars look like a lot of fun.
I just put together a book for my little one's grandparents for the holidays.
I'd keep this book for myself.
I would likely pick the classic leather for my family.
i really like the red classic linen!

I LOVE PICABOO!
What would I order? I would order the red classic linen book that is currently sitting in my Picaboo projects! :)
(of course, this assumes that I can pay the overage as I'm wayyy past 20 pages; if not, I would probably get a fancy black leather one and make a book of my kids for my grandma for Christmas... I could whip it out in time, surely...! Of course, that might mean sad things for my housework....)
Thanks for the chance! :)
