Default Mother's day brag book needs printing.. but how/where?

Does anyone have a suggestion on how/where to get this 4x6 brag book for my mom printed and bound.

I have so so many LO and have never ever printed a one. LOL

This needs printing so I can send it to my mom so it may be the start of trees coming down all over the world.

Is it easier to upload somewhere or take it somewhere? Can they bind it nicely at Office Depot or is that too much to ask of them. lol

Stephanie

Why not do a 4x6 album from Michael's or Hobby Lobby or Joanns? You can get them printed off at any photoshop, and then just insert them into a cute little photo album from one of the craft stores and off in the mail today!

Hmm, I think printing as those softcover mini-books might get problematic with that format. I believe most printers offer 5x7 instead of 4x6.

However, I have done brag books from photos in the past. I had them printed/developed and then glued them together with photo stickers, punched holes, used ring binders or some nice cord, taadaaa! Easy, quick and cheap. In the rare case I wanted the pages to be more sturdy, I used cardstock to assemble it.

I actually liked that look better than those albums where you slip them into plastic pages. Somehow that doesn't suit my vision of a scrapped book. Not sure why, but that's how I feel.

Michaels has all their Recollections albums 25% off. I got a few 4x6 ones today to make brag books and spent $10. They have 12 pages so they hold 24 pictures.
And the cover has a spot for a small picture.

ahh ok thank you all! I hadn't thought about that. So just print them on quality paper and put them in an album. I am going out tonight to take the kids to Taekwondo and there is a Hobby Lobby, right there.

Thanks so much!

Stephanie
