Create a special 'Photo Scrapbook' with photos of all your most special memories. Select and print a few photos that are special to you/the person you are creating it for, and create a page for each photo...you can decorate the background of each page however you wish, you could choose a theme for each one! You can add writing and other images to make the page more interesting. You could also add tickets/tokens/receipts etc... from the events that your photos capture. You can create this for yourself as a special way of looking over the past; or as a personal, thoughtful gift to someone - displaying all the happy times they have shared with you.

GREETING CARDS - submitted 2nd April 2008

Idea for a birthday card for a relative. Scan and upload their photograph on the front from when they were younger and inside you can write your own message and on the other inside area you can write who has the same birthday as them or if something famous happened on that day. I have done one for my Nana's 78th birthday and I am sure she will love it.

PHOTO BOOK - submitted 16th February 2008
Pat W. writes...
I have grasped the nettle and have gone back over the past seven years of digital photographs to make a Snapfish album for each year. The title page shows the year and a special event which happened, daughter's wedding, birth of grandchildren, special holiday etc. I then put a couple of photos for each month. This was helped by having a husband who is diligent at filing photos in year and month order on the computer. I now have seven lovely albums to look back on and have vowed to do one each January for the previous year. Digital photography has enabled us all to take lots more pictures but, unless we do something with them they end up stored on the computer, the equivalent of the drawer full of photos which we always say we will put into an album 'one day'.

PHOTO BOOK - submitted 5th February 2008

Throughout 2007 I have been putting all the photos together from holidays, days out and family gatherings and putting them onto the photo book. At the end of the year I can send off for the book to be printed, and shall then have a lovely book to show family members of what we did that year, along with a nice keepsake photo book, with all my photos in one place. In some cases I have scanned in wedding / christening invitations and little bits, and put them onto the photo book, so it is more like a scrapbook without all the fiddly bits of paper and glue! I have been using Snapfish for over a year now, and am very happy with all the results I have got. I am also pleased with the recent improvements that have been made to the photo book, including more photo layouts and being able to see easily what photos have already gone on the book, along with the easy edit tool.

This year I decided to get my Mum & my Mum-In-Law a scrapbook for Christmas...A very special scrapbook! I put 14 photos of each of my girls together (from bump to first birthday) and the captions provided the different milestones (from being able to hold head up to taking their first step unaided). Although they are 2 and a half years apart, whoever looks at the books will be able to compare them a lot better: facial features, achievements, height & weight from birth to first birthday! I have done all this before I discovered Snapfish. My job is going to be much easier when I do a couple more (great grandmothers and aunties). All I have to do is choose the photos, use the tools to edit them, add borders and captions and someone else will put it all together for me...No more glueing and sticking...A much better / professional finish!

Holiday Memorabilia - Scan in all those keep sakes from holidays - tickets, a brochure page etc. Use them together with photos in a photobook to never forget those special holidays or even other special moments like a Baby Book - first smile, first tooth etc - can't beat a personalised one! Just secretly collect all those special moment of firsts of your new baby, niece or god daughter / son - a definite tearjerker!!

PHOTO BOOK - submitted 5th November 2007

Create your own reading book - I took photos of my four year old making cakes, weighing ingredients, adding the egg, stirring, cooking, decorating and eating. We made a photo book from the pictures and I added simple text that she could read. She was so proud to take a real book that she had made with photos of her in it to school and read it to her teacher! For older children they could write a story first and take their own pictures to go with it.

I took a bunch of old photos and cut them into the shapes and sizes I wanted. Then I glued them onto one of those strong, plain cardboard boxes that are ideal for art & craft activities, overlapping each photo. I stuck them on in various ways; straight, angled, upsidedown, etc. After the glue had set, I coated them in a hard laquer to protect the box (no, it didn't ruin the photos). And...hey presto...I had a lovely box decorated with memories. I use my box to store all of my precious keepsakes in. This is a wonderful idea for kids, as they can create a box marking special events in their lives. (First year at school, a special trip, etc). They can keep mementos from those events in their boxes. Also a lovely Christmas / birthday present for a loved one.

POCKET BOOKS/COLLAGES - submitted May 29, 2007

Make your own alphabet book by having the kids take photos of things beginning with each letter and assembling them into a pocket book or collage. (Examples: C-Cat, F-Flower). We took a bunch of pictures at the zoo (M-Monkey, Z-Zebra) and almost had our album complete!

POSTER PRINTS - submitted May 24, 2007
Anne B. writes...
My sister made a set of home-made placemats for my 50th birthday, and I take them out every year and use them the month of my birthday. You can do the same with your kids. Take photos of your family (or pets, or favourite places) and blow them up into small poster prints or create photo collages. Then laminate them and use them as placemats. Photo placements would also be wonderful gifts for families with young children so that they could learn the names of relatives who don't live nearby.

Create an artistic presentation of one of your favourite photos. Convert a colour photo to black and white using Snapfish's editing tools. Add a funky border, and order the print from Snapfish. Then decorate a canvas frame with colour, ribbons, and accessories.

GROUP ROOMS - submitted May 17, 2007
Gemma R. writes...
At the beginning of the school year, I created a group room for our school team. Throughout the year, various photographers (a.k.a parents) added albums of the squad's events throughout the year. We have probably accumulated over 1,000 pictures. The group room has been great for sharing pictures and capturing this year from many different perspectives. For the end-of-the-year, we decided to create a Photo Book of the different pictures and "memories." What started off to be one book for the local sponsor will now be 7 more, gifts for our daughters for the end of the year - their own personal "yearbook." Thanks for offering the tools to allow us to capture, share, and memorialise this very special time in our children's lives.
