I always start with good intentions, promising myself I will journal every day during my travels; but I never get past day one. This Spring in Mexico however, I kept my journaling promise, by making each entry really short! Every night I jotted down a couple of lines about the day’s activities, and a couple of thoughts about the day. That’s it. 5 minutes or less.

We would like to introduce you to Sunni Refuse, a key member of our Shutterfly Scrapbooking Advisory Team. Together with her husband, Sunni is the founder of Scrapbook-Elements.com which opened April, 2004. She began creating digital scrapbook layouts in 1998 and has developed her skills over the years.

In this insightful article, Sunni tells us how she discovered the art (and fun!) of storytelling from Minnie’s point of view. Who’s Minnie? Their Yorkshire Terrier!

As summer travel season gears up, Shutterfly wants to prepare you for creating a photo book of your journey when you return.
We’re doing a quick survey of our customers to get their advice and tips from previous adventures. Please take 5 minutes to share with us your experiences.

Many travel photo books are posted to Gallery and shared in person so that others who couldn’t enjoy the trip are able to get a taste for the excitement of the adventure. MelindaM54 has a unique twist on creating a travel book to share with others.

I’ve already blogged about personalized wedding reception guest books that many have shared to Shutterfly Gallery. A vacation rental guest book is a new spin on this idea.

Travel is the #1 category for photo books being added to the Shutterfly Gallery. To make it easier for others to be inspired – in planning for a trip they may be considering or finding ideas for chronicling a trip they’ve already taken, we’ve added some additional categories of Travel to help group similar stories together.
