First and foremost- thank all of you so much for reaching out + saying hi on the last post. Your words warmed my heart and put a big grin on my face. So grateful for each and every one of you!
Every time I talk about my Artifact Uprising books on Instagram, I get a few questions and suggestions to blog about them. So today I thought I'd do just that!
I gathered a few of my favorite photo books and photographed them so you can get a look inside.
+ These are the photo books that you can make through the AU app. There are other beautiful items avaiable on the website, but these little Instagram books are my favorite.
+ Each book is 5.5" x 5.5"
+ You can add captions if you'd like, but I prefer just photos.
+ Through the app you upload photos directly from your Instagram feed, choosing the cover and the layout options.
+ The books are great quality and hold up well. I keep all of ours in a basket in the living room and the girls LOVE thumbing through them.
+ All photos in these books were taken with my iPhone 5. They print beautifully
+ AU has amazing customer service. One of my books got lost in the mail and they replaced it immediately, no questions asked.
Here's a look inside a few of my albums.
Florence Album:
Spain Album (Barcelona + Valencia):
Normandy Album:
Venice Album:
I love each of these albums so much and I feel that they are totally and completely worth the cost. They are nice heavy weight in person. A friend was looking at my Venice album and told me it looked like something you'd buy. That made my day.
So there you have it!
If you have any questions feel free to ask in the comments, I'll answer there!

Thank you so much for doing this, I know it takes time and effort to blog ( something I wish I would do) Your albums are gorgeous and look very much like something you buy.. Oh and you made my day by tagging me in your IG post! 😊. PS I adore that pic of your girls on the steps, it's frame worthy.

Thanks for sharing these Steph. I've been curious about AU books for awhile now…I think these would make great gifts too for family after trips together! :)

I love AU but have never considered a book. I do love the idea of a vacation or event book. Thanks for sharing and blessing to you and your family.

Thanks for the review! I saw your IG post and was curious. Though, my random IG photos compared to your amazing Italy photos make me feel that your books may be a bit prettier than mine! ;) Love seeing your Italian adventures! Memories are memories no matter how they look though, right? Have a great weekend!

I'm curious how you think they would work as digital scrapbooks? I've recently (after moving all my scrapping supplies and finished books again) decided to switch to making digital scrapbooking pages and I love the process since I'm more likely to sit with my laptop than at my desk but now I wonder what to do with the pages I've made. Do you think the bigger 8.5x8.5 book would work for a digital scrapbook?
Thanks,

Just got back from a short vacation to celebrate parents 45th anniversary and was wondering what I can do with my pictures that were mostly taken from my iPhone and this just gave me a great idea. It has been great reading your blog.

Thanks for sharing. I love that these books are perfect for little hands. And, oh my...how your beautiful girls have grown since your Florence trip!

Hi Stephanie - do you have to pick pictures you have posted to Instagram or can they just be from your camera roll? On a different note - would you consider writing a review of your foxy fix notebook and why you went with that versus the travelers journal? Were you concerned about having a hard time finding inserts that would fit the cover? Thanks!
