That little nugget of niftiness is a Blurb photo book, made entirely from my Spring/Summer 2011 Instagram pictures, taken on my iPhone.
Do you Instagram? If you have an iPhone, you should. It’s so easy to take fun shots of your day with your phone and edit them with really cool filters. Plus, it’s FREE! (I think it’s only an iPhone thing, though. Corrected! It’s an iPhone AND iPod Touch thing.)
Blurb has partnered with Instagram to make it *super* simple to link up to your Instagram account and create a book that will take all your Instagram pictures off your phone and put them on paper. It seriously took me about 40 minutes to put the whole thing together. Momma likes!
Books are printed in 7×7 format, and prices for a soft-cover, 20 page book start at just $10.95! (Though mine, shown here, was valued closer to $40 since it’s hard-cover and more pages.)
I loved putting the pictures I took throughout spring and summer in it, but you know what I was thinking would be even cooler? Remember our Ordinary Day In The Life Photo Challenge? How great would it be to take Instagrams throughout your ordinary day, and then print them in a Blurb book?! I think I’m going to have to do that sometime.
Now for the fun! Of course, I’m giving one away to one of you (hard-cover, up to 60 pages). There are NO location restrictions on this one! And all you have to do to enter is:
1. Leave a comment telling me you want this! (Remember, you’ll need to have an iPhone or iPod Touch with the Instagram app in order to make one of these books.)
If you want a few other entries to increase your chances you can:
2. Follow me on Twitter
3. Like me on Facebook
4. Sign up for my newsletter
If you have multiple entries, please leave a separate comment for each one and allow time for moderation. I’ll choose a winner with Random.org Friday, September 30th.
**Disclosure- Blurb provided the book for me and for the giveaway at no charge. All opinions are my own. I was not compensated in any other way for this post.Â

I’d love to win a book because I don’t like how the majority of the photos taken on my phone just stay there – I think it’d be a lovely thing to have on my coffee table, to look back at all of the memories. Plus, your site’s great! 🙂
I would like one of the free books, I use Blurb for my other pictures, it would be ice to create a book with the pictures taken on my iphone too.
Thanks
Jenny likey!!!!!!!!! Just downloaded Instagram. With the amount of pix I take, I should have enough for a book in about 37 minutes. :o) Thanks so much in advance for the free book! (I’m thinking positive today.)
Thanks for the opportunity – liked on Facebook

Thank you for the offer. I will be making a book sooner or later with Blurb. I have the Instagram app and i could use it for another book later as it sounds like a fun idea. Please give this freebie to one of the others.Still not sure how it all works but i am Error5 on Insta. Scott 🙂
I got the instagram app two days ago and I love it + I love the blurb photo book so this is the best combination!…Thank you!
