I'm working on a project for Christmas. I've been laying it out as a 12x12, so I don't really want to change sizes.

I was really hoping to do an image wrap cover, but none of the sites I know of offer those together.

Anyone know of a place that does?

Thanks!
Christy

Looks like maybe Shutterfly? Anyone used them?

I have used shutterfly to do two books so far- with image wrapped cover, spine, back- is that what you are talking about?

I did a cover for my grandaughters book, and kristi (poobear77) grandmothers book- both came out lovely- of course the size of the cover/back is going to be larger than 12 x 12 but I used the same bg paper to simply resize the canvas on those so that the spine and back cover continue from the front cover.

I've also used Shutterfly to do a book. It seems they might be the only ones who cater to digiscrappers and offer a full bleed page layouts. All the other site/companies I've checked into require you to use their templates.

Be sure to check out Shutterfly's website and download the guidelines. They do offer psd file templates to use to ensure you're doing the correct size and keeping things far enough away from the trim.

BTW, I ordered my book from them on a Sunday and received it that Tuesday. Very fast work, very high quality! I did two-page spreads with lots of cross page line-ups and they turned out perfectly!

I use blurb.com.
I've published ten books, just got the last one on the weekend. I have made four with the image wrap cover.

I have used Shutterfly and Viovio. I'm not sure if Viovio has a 12x12 (I did 8.5x11).

Thank you all so much! I'm glad to hear Shutterfly is good, cause I think they have what I want.

THank you for the coupon! I'll definitely use that!

Here's a tip if you're ever looking for coupons for online stores. Go to www.currentcodes.com . They list all the current coupon codes for tons of different websites. Including some photo printing companies.

Could someone send me a link to where I can find the psd template for shutterfly. I'm having no luck finding it.

THanks again!
Christy

I'm actually going to look into them after the holidays, Susie. I'll use your code.

I figure for $6.99 I can see what their quality is like. . .

Thanks!
