Like I said up top, decide at home what your books will be. Gather anywhere from 10 to 50 pictures for each book. The books are 10 pages and 6×8 in size. You can add more pages but it costs you money. Edit your photos at home, reducing red eye and cropping, it is easier at home than on their machines.
Now put your pictures on a disk or jump drive. I think you can use a sd card but I have not tried it. Take the disk to your store. By the photo center are kiosks from kodak, sit yourself down on one and follow the directions! Make sure you choose 6×8 photobook.
I made this one for Tucker’s All-Stars last year. You can add text and choose a theme for your pages.
You can choose the color for your backgrounds and arrange pictures. You have the ability to minimize and enlarge each photo.
I did a mini birth book for Rush. Poor 6th kid… he misses out on all that crafty stuff.
This book was a little one for Emma, the kids love having books of pictures of them! They have some really pretty backgrounds to choose from.
Only put the photos you want to use for this project on your disk so you don’t have to wade through a ton of other photos to get your book done.
When you are satisfied with your book, hit submit and it will print right there for you. The photo lab person will assemble it for you, the whole process should take about 20-30min.

Thanks – very helpful post – came to your blog by way of Money Saving Mom. I'll have to check if our CVS stores are participating (in CA). 🙂
ok i want to do this. but do u need a cvs card? it says 'with card"
and does cvs offer something where you edit the pics at home and thm send them via internet and then just print out there in lieu of taking a disc in…?
Thanks! Great directions and I love how you showed your examples. I'll be doing this with my girls this week …
Thanks for posting this! I will for sure make a few now!
