Now that the confetti has settled, it's time to make new memories. But before I dive headlong into adventures, each new year, I look back on the previous year by putting our favorite photos in an photo book. But there are so many ways to preserve those memories. Here's a few ideas that I really like:
This one is for the crafters out there. For about $20, Printic (based in Paris and San Francisco) will send you 30 of your favorite glossy photos, packaged with pages accessories to build your own custom album. Plus, the prints themselves are adorable: you can choose from a number of colored borders in a variety of styles, and you can caption each photo. Order today and save 25% with code: HELLO2018
For a traditional photo book with maximum flexibility, try Blurb. With their downloadable software, you have full artistic control over layouts. Multiple paper options gives you pricing flexibility. I've ordered from them several times over the years, and have consistently been happy with the value, quality, and customer service. Many companies offer a low price for a 20 page book, then add $1+ per page after, which gets pricey fast. With Blurb, you can select a page range before you begin. If you're ordering a large book (ie 100+ pages), there is not a better value.
This poster will hold up to 200 of your favorite Instagram photos, easily uploaded through the Social Print Studio app. Such a fun way to decorate a dorm room, or any room, really. Pairs nicely with their wooden rail hangers too! ($25+)
If you are a still a fan of loose prints (me too!) you can order a custom made wooden storage box, in a number of sizes, from Zno. It can be finished in either a matte or glossy look. ($24+)
Bay Photo offers a variety of products, but I love this magazine printed on 80# semi gloss smooth paper. A great way to display a single photo shoot, or a favorite trip. ($21.56 for a 26-page magazine)
Also check out their options for USB cases and drives, if you prefer to keep things digital.
Do you miss the days of scrapboooking? These silver halide print memory pages can take you right back. Customizeable layouts give you lots of control, while loose pages offer flexibility in arrangement. Offered in 6X6, 8X8, and 12X12.
Like Tetris for photos! Starting at $14.00 for three interlocking frames, these can be configured in any way imaginable. Start with a few, or order a bunch! Save 25% 'till January 2nd with code WINTERWONDERLAND
And now, back to the business of making new memories!
