We are extremely pleased to announce that as of January 18, 2011, Scrapblog has
been acquired by Mixbook – a free online service that allows you to create fully
customizable photo
books, cards,
and calendars.
By bringing the two companies together, we hope to provide you with an even better
digital scrapbooking experience with access to new features, new print products,
and Mixbook’s excellent customer service.
What does this mean for you? Between now and January 31, 2011, you can still create
and order items from Scrapblog’s website, but you will also have access to the thousands
of completely free templates and creative elements Mixbook already offers for creating
photo
books, cards and calendars. Scrapblog will also make available high-resolution
jpegs of your Scrapblog pages for you to download and save during this transition
– for free.
Starting February 1, 2011, jpegs of your Scrapblog pages will continue to be available
for a limited time, and we will become fully integrated with Mixbook. Once this
integration is complete, you will be able to sign into www.mixbook.com with your Scrapblog username and password,
and your previously uploaded photos will still be saved in your account. We think
that this will make your transition to our new expanded offerings as seamless as
possible.
We are confident that you will enjoy all that Mixbook has to offer. Mixbook has a deep understanding of the needs of digital scrapbookers, and we are very excited to be able to provide you with enhanced services which were previously not available. If you have any questions throughout this transition, Mixbook’s customer support team is happy to help, and you can contact them by emailing support@mixbook.com.
We look forward to seeing what you create in the years to come!

What is Mixbook?
Mixbook features the Mixbook Editor, a web-based program to create your very own digital scrapbooking projects. Just like the Scrapblog Builder, there is no downloading required - you can get started in minutes! Try an original Mixbook theme, or start your a project from a blank template. You'll have free and full access to Mixbook themes and thousands of backgrounds and stickers, and Mixbook will soon incorporate Scrapblog original content as well. The possibilities are endless with the fully customizable Mixbook Editor. As with Scrapblog, you can continue to share your projects online, or purchase bookstore-quality printed photo books, cards and calendars, shipped to you in as little as five days.

What will happen to the photos I uploaded to Scrapblog?
Our team will be transferring the photos you have uploaded directly to Scrapblog
over to Mixbook, where you will be able to use them to create gorgeous photo books,
cards and calendars. You can store your photos on Mixbook for free, forever.
Do I have to register a new account on Mixbook?
If you do not currently have an account through Mixbook, we will e-mail you directions
to join Mixbook with your existing Scrapblog login and password once the transition
is complete. You will then have access to the photos you uploaded to Scrapblog,
so you can continue making and sharing unique digital scrapbooks, cards and calendars.
Please know that during this transition, we will use your unique e-mail address
to identify your account.
What if I already have an account on Mixbook?
If you already have an account on Mixbook, we will add a project to your account
with the photos you uploaded directly to Scrapblog. This new project will appear
once the transition is complete in February.
Please know that during this transition, we will use your unique e-mail address
to identify your account.
Can I export my existing Scrapblogs?
During this transition, you will be able to order high-quality Print at Home .jpgs
of your Scrapblogs for free.
To order .jpgs, please open the Scrapblog builder, click on the "Order a Print"
dropdown in the upper right hand corner, then select Print at Home. Then you can
click on Scrapblog pages to export - we will send you a .zip file with your design
.jpgs within 24 hours.
Please know that your files will only be accessible through 2/28/2011.
Can I still order a printed book, calendar or card from Scrapblog?
You can order an existing Scrapblog through 1/31/11. After this date, ordering on
Scrapblog will be disabled, and you will be able to order photo books, cards and
calendars at www.mixbook.com.
Can I still start a new Scrapblog?
You can make new Scrapblogs through 1/31/11.
What will happen starting on February 1, 2011?
Starting on 2/1/2011, you will not be able to start a new Scrapblog and ordering
will no longer be available. You can still export a print quality .jpg of your existing
Scrapblogs through 2/28/2011.
Original Scrapblog stickers and backgrounds will be added to Mixbook, where you
can continue to build and share your own custom photo books, cards and calendars.
All original design content previously available through Scrapblog, excluding content
created by our design content partners, will be free to use through Mixbook.
Will Customer Support be available?
Yes, we will continue to provide customer support to all Scrapblog customers through
this transition. Our goal is to respond within 1 business day to all inquiries.
Please e-mail feedback@scrapblog.com.
I still have existing credit on Scrapblog - what will happen to this credit?
We are pleased to let you know that your existing Scrapblog credit will automatically be converted to Mixbook credit! Unlike Scrapblog credits, Mixbook credit is good toward the purchase of printed products including photo books, cards and calendars. Once the transition is complete, your credit will be converted at the rate of 50 Scrapblog credits to $1 in Mixbook credit.
What has happened to the Scrapblog Stores?
Unfortunately, we are no longer able to offer licensed content for purchase through
Scrapblog.com.
What about licensed stickers and theme pages I have already purchased through Scrapblog?
You can still use all licensed stickers and theme pages that you have purchased
during the transition. However, licensed stickers and theme pages will not be transferred
to Mixbook. If you do have any Scrapblogs with purchased stickers and theme pages,
you can still export a print quality .jpg of your Scrapblogs for free.
To order .jpgs, please launch the Scrapblog builder, click on the "Order a Print"
dropdown in the upper right hand corner, then select Print at Home. Then you can
click on Scrapblog pages to export - we will send you a .zip file with your design
.jpgs within 24 hours.
Why does my Print-At-Home download look larger than my original design?
The extra space you see around the edges of your Scrapblog page is called the "bleed area". We included this so that if you ever want to have your page printed in a book, your pages will have an extra margin or "bleed" to be trimmed off during the printing process. If you are looking to share your Scrapblog or if you wish to print your pages at home, this bleed area can easily cropped out using a photo editing program, or trimmed off after your project is printed.
