I want to introduce you, and/or re-acquaint those of you with a few of the many options you have to take your personal photo’s to a whole different level!
With technology these days, the possibilities are unlimited! You can take your photo’s and turn them into a pillow, blanket, playing cards, and one of my many favorites, a coffee mug!
Uploading your photos to these sites is an easy, step-by-step program, and if you ever run into any issues, or have questions, you can contact their Customer Service center.
Costco:

I chose to take advantage of the Collages that Costco has to offer…
There is unlimited options to composing your own personal collage. And what a unique way to preserve your memories!
Display all your favorite photos in a collage print! Perfect for birthdays, family events and vacation photos!
* Display up to 30 photos
* Choose from a variety of background colors
* Include a title to make your collage truly special
Please note that Collages will need In-Store Pickup.
CVS:
From CVS I wanted to try my hand at their Photo Books. This Summer we visited our Grandparents, and I thought this would make a great keepsake for the Kiddo’s, since they don’t get to see them very often.
This was my first experience composing a Photo Book and it went very smoothly! I’ll definitely be doing this more often!
For my Photo Book, I chose the teal Cover, “Keyhole Style”, 8×11 Linen.
Sam’s Club:
I ordered a 12×12 Classic Velvet Photo book in Azure Blue. I’m going to use this as a custom made recipe book. I absolutely luv the Torn Edges theme! It adds such charm, and gives my recipe book the look of “cooking goodness”. I uploaded kitchen themed pics to complete the look.
With the upcoming Holidays, this would make an Awesome Personalized Gift! 

Have Fun putting together your many personalized Photo Creations! You will enjoy them for many years to come! Plus, they make great Family Heirlooms too!
