MyPhotoCreations Giveaway – 8 Amazing Prizes (2 Flush Mount Albums)! U.S. & Canada (ENDED!)

Here’s my biggest Giveaway yet in scale and in value!  MyPhotoCreations is sponsoring this “not to be missed” awesome giveaway!

There will be 8 winners and the prize total is worth nearly $840.00!

Eight (8) very lucky Photobookgirl.com readers will be randomly drawn to win one (1) of the following MyPhotoCreations prizes:

One (1) 20-page 8×8 black leather Anza Flush Mount Photo Album
(two (2) prizes available valued at $249.99 each!)

One (1) 20-page 8.5×8.5 lay flat Ashbury Photo Book
(four (4) prizes available valued at $74.99 each!)

One (1) 12×18 Top Bound Photo Calendar w/customizable dates and photos
(two (2) prizes available valued at $19.99 each!)

MyPhotoCreations is a NEW consumer website brought to you by DigiLabs – a company founded in 1997 and a name familiar to professional photographers.  To kick off their new launch, the company generously offered to sponsor this giveaway.  I received a complimentary 8×8 Anza flush mount photo album to review, plus TWO to give away!

The Anza Flush Mount Album
The Ashbury Lay Flat Photo Book
The Top Bound Calendar

My Anza flush mount just arrived this weekend and it really is a breathtaking product in terms of print quality.  This is a high-end, luxury photo album – not a printed photo book.  For that reason, these types of photo albums are generally reserved for heirloom books meant to preserve special occasions such as weddings, and anniversaries.  The free software is downloaded from the MyPhotoCreations site and is very easy to use.

Here are some shots of my album (photos by Second Print Productions):

What makes a flush mount album different from a typical photo book?

  • Flush mount albums are printed on real photo paper mounted onto a hard sturdy backing;
  • Due to the thickness of the pages, flush mount albums generally have small page counts (pick your absolute best shots only!);
  • Flush mount albums typically come with genuine leather covers and a presentation box.

My review of this flush mount photo album is in the works, but I didn’t want to wait to post this giveaway!

UPDATE 11/25/2010: My full review of this flush mount photo album is up!

Comments

  2. I would make a baby one because my wedding photos weren’t digital back then and scanning them in wouldn’t do this book justice. Thanks for the opportunity!

  3. I really need this book – I’ve got to do two wedding albums and two baby albums in this next two months!

  4. I would finally do our wedding album – we just celebrated our 10th anniversary and I still haven’t done the wedding album

  21. I would start working on my dating/wedding album. Or my kids books. Or our family scrapbooks for the last 3 years. Yeah, I’ve got a lot of projects and books on my list 🙂

  27. I would love to finally make our wedding album – 3 yrs later.. Still nothing… Tried with our Photographer but he was not helpful with it!

    • Name: Diana Tan
      Will use the prize to make a summer 2010 book for the family when they spent time here.

  34. I would make an album dedicated to my late grandma and her family. She has LOADS of beautiful old black and white photos from the 30’s and on. Being the crazy photo hoarder/lover, my family entrusted me with them after she passed. I have always wanted a way to share them without exposing the originals to potential damage or wear and tear. I scanned every boxful of photos, organized them by date and created a slideshow to give to everyone last Christmas, but have been wanting to create a photobook for everyone.

    When I am able to (whether I have to save or get lucky), I will be doing these phenomenal pictures justice! Flush mount filled with beautiful layouts! I’d also like to collect memories, thoughts, funny stories from all of the extended family to scatter throughout the book alongside the photos. I can’t think of a more wonderful way to remember late loved ones. =) I’m going to surprise my dad with it at the next birthday or Christmas I can afford it!

  38. I’m also subscribed to your newsletter, “like” your facebook page and just now “liked” myphotocreations – Brandy Watters (AKA Brandy Vandiver)

    I only recently discovered this blog, but I am thrilled that I did! I love it!

  39. I would make our wedding album! After a ton of research on flush mount albums, I finally settled on Nations Photo Lab flush mount… but haven’t had the time to start! I’m very excited to read your review of the Anza flush mount album!

  49. I would definitely make a wedding album if I won one of the flush mount Anza albums. It would be perfect since our 1st wedding anniversary is this weekend too!

    • Awesome, I haven’t printed my photo album yet because I can’t afford to, this would be perfect! Hope I win!

  52. YAY! Finally, a giveaway for Canadians 🙂
    I’ll make an engagement book if I win.
    Liked MyPhotoCreations & Photo Book Girl on FB – name: Meline Johan

  54. So excited…a flush mount album for the consumer. I have been waiting to make my Majorca Wedding album. Its been over a year and I have been waiting to make a flush mount album.

  60. I would use it to make a wedding album. We got married earlier this year and haven’t had the money to make an album yet. Still paying off the wedding 🙁

  64. Love the look of the book! Wedding book for sure!!
    Just got married in october and we didnt purchase an album from our photographer so this would be perfect!

  70. I’d definitely make a wedding album. We’re getting one from our photographer but I’d love to make some more and this prize would surely help!

  71. I would make an album for my 10th wedding anniversary to include pictures of us dating back then to now. This would include professional photogs of us toasting with a celebration cake.

  78. Hi – I’d make a wedding book for my brother in law, who just got married a couple of weeks ago. I was his photographer and I’m working on the album now!

  80. I would surprise my mom with a wedding album. She will be the one walking me down the aisle, and would love to capture that special moment in something she can share with everyone.

  82. i would make a nicer wedding album. my current one is okay, but i would love to make a more high end looking one with a luxe feel. 🙂

  83. oo i could use a fancy wedding book- or a honeymoon book. =)
    i’m a subscriber to your newsletter!

  86. If I won an album, I would use it for my wedding album. I am getting married August 27, 2011 at the Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival

  91. I’d make a wedding album with all the great shots we just got back from out photographer. Want to cherish these pics forever!

  100. I would use the flush mount book for our wedding pictures since we could not afford to buy the album from our photographers.

  105. Love love love your site! So very helpful to sift through ALL the publishers out there. An extra special thank you that you ALWAYS include Canada information. Thanks, eh! My next project has to be my wedding album…would love the Anza prize to do so.

  109. Still need to go through my thousands of photos and finally put together my wedding album – only 3 years late!

  130. I tweeted this, but can’t figure out how to get a link from it to post here (can you tell I’m new to tweeting??)…

  147. I would use this for my wedding album. We would be honored to display our pics in such a fabulous book!

  150. I would love to use the wedding album style as that is the closest book for the event I will be throwing for my daughter.

  154. I would love a wedding album/ guest book including our engagement pictures for our upcoming wedding. Thanks!

  160. I would love to create an album of my lil man’s first year! I have so many great pictures of him, and this would be perfect. 🙂 Thx!

  162. If I won a flush mount Anza album, I would make it our wedding photo album. What a fantastic giveaway, thank you!

  173. I’d love to create a wedding album; its overdue…my husband and I had gotten married 2 years ago 🙂

  183. I’d create a travel album, it’s about time I actually made a book for myself, and I feel I’ve learned so much making wedding albums that I’m looking forward to putting it into practise selfishly for once! Now.. China, Oz, or the States?….

  194. Oh, wow! I’d make a baby book for my poor DS who came along with the family’s first digital camera. The poor guy has photos hidden in unmarked files, tucked away in “move to new computer” folders from computer upgrades… He needs a good book with some of his best photos (and boy are there a lot!) all together in one place!

  203. I will probably fill it with artsy photos and make a coffee table book.

    I have “liked” you on Facebook. I will subscribe to your newsletter in a few minutes.

  204. I liked their page on fb, read your review, and tagged them. They do sound very nice. This is the first review I have read where someone used the term “high end” so it has my attention.

    • Oops! I would make a book of my photography, a big one. To show to collectors or to give to family for Xmas. They have high standards…

  224. I would love to use the book for our wedding album. I need a gift for my parents and would use this!! Thank you!

  226. I would like an artistic album that shows the fun and youthful personalities my fiancee and I have.

  246. I liked your facebook page

    (Accidentally sandwiched that with another entry because I suck at directions lol)

  260. I would make an album of my homebirth and my daughter’s first year-from her birth day to her birth day 🙂

  264. I subscribed to your newsletter…hoping to win that gorgeous photo book for my wedding album. Thanks!

  265. I’d finally get around to making that really special wedding album (married 3 years ago!). Have a crappy one already (my first photobook ever made!)…so there is definitely room to improve!!!

  274. I liked MyPhotoCreations on FB (Sarah Wineroth Plants) and even commented on their page about your great reviews!!!
