Documenting our Honeymoon

I've always been thinking of printing a photobook to document my travels so when Hun told me about the Pixajoy deal on I♥Discount, I decided to give it a shot.

(This is a screenshot I did today, the deal I bought back then was a 20 pages one costing RM58)

The bad thing about buying online "deals" is that they always come with an expiry date. I almost forgot about the deal until I saw the email in my inbox *panic*. So I decided to get down to work immediately.

As usual, you need to download their editing software. After fiddling a while with the editing tools, I nearly cursed! Damn it! It was one of the most user-unfriendly tool, and everything is so limited. And their templates suck, big time!!! Geramnya~~~

I have no time to slowly figure out how to use it so I resorted to something I am more familiar with- Photoscape!!!

Freaking tedious work :'(

Photoscape is simple. But I still need to choose the photos among thousands, adjust the colors and brightness, pick the layout and try to fit in the photos. Luckily only 20 pages to worry about *phew~*

And once done, I just have to upload onto the Pixajoy's editor and make sure everything was ok.

Then upload the complete album layout to Pixajoy and sent my orders. Tadah, done~

I placed my order on Monday and was informed that it would take 6 days to reach me. True enough, on Sunday, I received a mail and later that afternoon, my package from Skynet arrived! Yay~

The box with the cute Pixajoy sticker :)

Carefully packed with bubble wrap.

My first photobook!

Yup, it's about my Honeymoon. I've chosen a kissing shadow photo for the cover. To be honest I was hit with a pang of disappointment because the cover wasn't as nicely done as I expect it to be.

Inside the front and back cover, there's a protective layer.

Luckily, the inside printing was awesome :)

I chose the matte lamination over gloss, and I really like how the printing turned out. Nice. The color and everything were accurate too.

Here are a few pages that I like in the album:

I've chosen all the photos that I personally like very much, mostly photos that can best depict the sweet memories we had during the meaningful travel.

A photo with my hard work hehehe. A compilation of the special moments ♥

I am considering doing more photobooks now *addicted*, seriously, should do a book for our wedding. Hmm...
