Now we start our adventure of creating a PhotoBook. It is quite simple if you have all of your content prepared in advance. Photos should be edited and text ready. If you are ready and your pictures are loaded into Shutterfly, let's get started. Click "Photo Books" (1)
Here is where we select the type of book we want. In this case we are going to create an 8.5 x 11 “Classic Book”. Click on the book and we will jump to the next page.
Absolutely nothing to do here but look at the pretty pictures and click “Get Started” (2)
On this page we can select page (3) and text (4) styles. Do not fret over this, you can go back and make changes later. Unfortunately, Shutterfly does not have many styles. Make your selections, then click “Next” (5) 
This is the screen where we will spend the rest of our time. However, we have one more thing to do before we can make out book, we must load out pictures into the lower tray. Out pictures are loaded onto the Shutterfly system, but we must load them into the Photo Book software. To do this click “Get Pictures” (6)
Select any or all of your loaded pictures. If you want to select just a few pictures check off the small box under the picture you want. If you want ALL of your pictures (I suggest you do this) select “All” (7).
Then click “Add” (8)
Ok, we need to understand what each of these areas do.
(9) Is your tray with all of your photos. They are “Drag & Drop” out of this tray.
(10) These are the page templates. Note, at the top you can select from 1 to 5+ images to a page or an ALL text page. The template icons will change depending on how many images you select to put on a page. Most of these templates allow you to add text. The page template icons are also “Drag & Drop”.
(11) These are your book pages. This is the area that you drag your picture to.
(12) These icon indicate the pages of your book. As you complete a page that page’s icon will turn grey. The icon of the page you are working on is indicated by an open book icon.
Ok, I admit, this next page looks complicated, it is not.Simply, select the number of pictures you want on the page you are working on (1, 2 or more). Once you select the number of picture, all of the template icons will change.
Select a template. Drag & Drop it on the page you are working on. If you don’t like it, try another!
Now, Drag & Drop the picture(s) you want on the page.
If you have TEXT, add it in the area(s) provided.
SAVE and save often. Shutterfly is a little “buggy”.
