Front cover for P365 in 2009:

Front cover for P365 last year. (Stitching is an inch in from the edge/border)

And this was the front cover for my nieces album which I finished in December.

For my girls and my AAM albums I just chose a layout that didn't have much/any journalling on it. I was in a hurry to get them uploaded and printed before a coupon ran out, so didn't have time to do a whole new cover. Looks good though.

Vanessa I LOVE you covers and Jacinda yours are FABULOUS! How did the one with the photo turn out printed? I am trying to figure out what to do for my DD's Senior album.....I can't decide to save my life....

I used to do photo mosaic covers....it was a way for me to include photos that didn't make it into the book...

then I got lazy and just started doing a small mosaic like this...

Beautiful covers everyone! I have only had 2 printed and the covers weren't too great. I might borrow some ideas from this thread for my next book!

Here are my 2 covers, both for my son:

Mine always turn out fine, unless you forget to unclick the vividpix thing at Shutterfly.
