Holiday Gift Guide-Zoom Album Review & GIVEAWAY!

With all of my recent computer issues, I am getting this review/giveaway out later than I wanted to, but I am glad I am getting it in time for the Holiday Gift Guide! One package of the pocket-sized Photo Book Kit, and you have three stocking stuffers, gifts, present toppers, or give the whole shebang as a great gift! Zoom Album has created the modern version of pulling out your wallet and having that accordion thingie fall down. This is cute, stylish.....

and EASY! I actually ended up doing mine as a gift (that and the other one I did has my kids plastered all over it. I guess I should have done a "from the back" album), so I can't let you take a peek, but I can tell you that the examples I show you are EXACTLY what it ends up looking like. It is fun, and the instructions are so easy to follow, my hubby didn't even mind following them! In addition, their website is so user-friendly, you can have all your questions answered simply while you are still sitting at your computer. There is even a wonderful video that walks you through how to make your photo book. Here is the short version (not that the long one is really much longer)

1. Insert the disc and follow the instructions for choosing your pictures, inserting your text, and picking your borders. It will also walk you through the cover of your album if you have one of those kits. HINT HINT HINT!!! I used a picture that had my kids in the mirror. The front of the book is actually the front shot, and the back is the mirror shot. It is sooooo cool!
2. Print out a test page for the cover and the inside pages before you use the photo paper. 
3. Follow the instructions exactly to put together the cover as well as the pages. If you have any questions, simply head over to Zoom Album's website and check out the video. Questions answered. 
4. Put the book together and enjoy. My husband actually asked if we could get one of the refill kits so he can have a little book for his office at work. 

As I made my albums, here are the uses that came to my mind

• For parents offices
• For coffee Tables
• For preggo mama's, this is a GREAT way to show off those ultrasounds and keep them protected!
• For Grandparents on special occasions
• For your purse or car
• For your little one to have a little album of their pets/car collection/large item for show and tell
• As a creative project when your student is given some creative freedom 
• For a suitcase for the traveling parent
• For wedding favors-how cute would that be?
• To send of to your baby heading to college 
• The possibilities are absolutely endless!

The best part, other than the giveaway that I am about to mention? Once you get that first creator cd, you simply need to get the refills!
