Photo Book inspiration from Guest Bloggers!

Tip 1. from MummyDaddyMe: Make the most of the different layouts available, they’ll simplify the creation process.

Final verdict: “Ours arrived and the girls and I wasted no time looking at the photos and laughing at the memories… It is such a lovely gift for Christmas (or any time of the year for that matter) and we will be definitely ordering some more for all the other members of the family.”

Create your own photo book.

Tip 2. from The Reading Residence: Cut the creation time in half with autofill!

Final verdict: “Every page feels nice and thick and the photos have come out exactly as I had them on my computer with just the right colours and there’s a smooth glossy feel to each page. I am impressed, so much so that I’ve decided to buy some more as gifts.”

CREATE YOUR OWN PHOTO BOOK.

Tip 3. from Susan K. Mann: Upload your photos from your computer, Instagram, Flickr or Facebook. Each photo will be date-stamped making it easier to create your book in chronological order.

Final verdict: “The holidays are a great time of year to reflect on the year past and take in those memories, this is why I think a memory book like this is a perfect gift for a child, parent, aunt, grandparent or even to yourself… when it arrived, it brought tears to my eyes. So much so, I went on and ordered additional copies of this book for both sets of Grandparents for their Christmas.”

CREATE YOUR OWN PHOTO BOOK.

Tip 4 from The Gingerbread House: Plan the contents of the Photo Book before you begin.

Final verdict: “I made sure to include photos from when the kids were born so there’s a great selection from the last 8 years and they love looking through it. I love watching them look at the photos and listen to them talk about some of their favourite Christmas memories.”

CREATE YOUR OWN PHOTO BOOK.

Tip 5 from Looking for The Postman: Collect photos throughout the year for a ‘Year in Review’ photo book, you’ll love looking through the keepsakes for years to come.

Final verdict: “I’m very, very happy with the end product. The process was so easy and quick, and it arrived within a couple of days. There were so many different templates to pick from, and I’m happy – not only with the quality of the book – but that it looks exactly the way that I designed it.”

Word Play: 5 Tips For Adding Text to Photo Books by Snapfish

May 26, 2017/in Blog, Snapfish, Snapfish UK

We know you love incorporating text and embellishments into your custom photo books. We also know that it can be a total bummer when you have the PERFECT photo, but the background is too busy to add a name, favourite phrase, or inside joke. Keep these five photo tips in your back pocket the next time you plan to add text to your photo book. Read on to get wordy!

Word Play: 5 Tips For Adding Text to Photo Books

The sky’s the limit

The sky is a wonderful canvas. Point your camera at the sky and frame the shot with spring blooms, palm trees, or amusement rides. Whether text is placed against a clear blue sky, fluffy clouds, or a sunset, your words will shine.

Picking sides

Place your subject to the left or right side of the frame, leaving negative space on one side for text. You can always crop your photo to the desired size to achieve this effect. This composition gets two paws up from us!

Writing on the wall

Photograph your subject against a solid backdrop like a painted wall, leafy hedge, or good-lookin’ white fence to make your text easy to read. You can even create a little makeshift studio with an ironed bed sheet.

Contrasting colour

Your eyes love seeing contrasting colours that pop, like this hot pink text. Also, the thicker the font, the better it will read against any backdrop.

Embellish a little

Shape embellishments can also be used as backgrounds when you want to give your text a little something extra! We paired a heart with a washi tape embellishment over this photo.

There are a million ways to use type in photo books, so show us what you got!

Keep Calm & Marry On with Wedding Embellishments by Snapfish

April 11, 2017/in Blog, Snapfish, Snapfish UK

Celebrate your special day with a photo book! A photo book is the perfect place to capture the magic from your wedding day, and treasure those memories.

wedding embellishments

All featured embellishments can be found in the Wedding folder.

We’ve chosen some of our favourite Wedding embellishments to share with you! The Wedding embellishment folder includes; ‘Engagement’, ‘Wedding’, ‘Honeymoon’ and ‘Anniversary’. You could create a photo book of your journey as a couple, starting with the engagement and ending with the honeymoon, or just focus on your big day!

We’ve created a range of photo book spreads, using various Wedding embellishments and text to help inspire you!

TIP 1: Layer your images!

Spread an image across both pages, and layer a different image on top! It ties both pages together perfectly, and also allows you to show off some of your fave photos!

TIP 2: Mix embellishments and text!

In this example, we have used a wreath found in Wedding embellishments, and added some simple text. We used Mahogany Script for ‘Sophie & Thomas’, and DIN 1451 Engschrift for the date. The result if a beautiful way to commemorate the happy couple 💕.

TIP 3: Match colours!

Another way to connect the spread, is to match the colour of an embellishment with the colour of the background. You can see in this example, we have matched the blue from the ‘with this ring’ embellishment with the bright blue background colour on the opposite page.

Or you can keep it simple like Hannah from Crafternoon Caberet Club who created the ultimate coffee table photo book with wedding photos!

If you want to keep learn more about embellishments? We’ve also created some inspirational tips for basic embellishments and travel embellishments.

A Snapfish Wedding Photo Book by Snapfish

April 4, 2017/in Blog, Snapfish, Snapfish UK

By Lisa from Topaz & May

I swear my wedding never actually happened, it’s only been 5 months and it feels like a very distant memory. Which is one reason I was determined to get a wedding photo book made up for us to look through. We were going to go through our wedding photographer, however because of budgets (hello buying next house) we decided to look for a more budget friendly option. Enter Snapfish.

I’m going to start this by saying Snapfish haven’t paid us for this, or sponsored or asked us to do this post. I’m writing about it because I thought the whole experience was bloody brilliant, and really cost-effective.

I went to Snapfish as I get photos printed from there, so it was my first port of call, and the whole process was incredibly easy. You simply pick your album type, size, page numbers and such, then your photos. Once you’ve uploaded all your photos and chosen your style, you can get it to auto fill for you. Which I did to begin with, and then moved a few things around. I’d really recommending auto-filling to begin with if you’re not too creative as it’ll take a lot of the work away from you. What you can do after that is move your pictures around, swap places, and get it to automatically lay the page out in the most logical way, depending on how many pictures you have on there. What I loved about this as well if you can change the background colour and pattern of the pages, so I went for a weaved grey effect as it went with my wedding scheme, and it looks really luxe. I also put a few different decorations and pre-made wording around the pages as well, as I just thought it looked really special and just made it that much more personalised to us. They were really simple to place as well, just make sure you stay in the dotted lines.

Once I was happy, I saved my project to my Snapfish account (god forbid my laptop crash and I lose all of that work) and then hit preview. Then placed my order, and within a couple of days it was on my doorstep. I was really impressed with how quickly it came through, and the quality of the product.

My book only cost about £46ish, and I absolutely love it. I love the little hole in the front just make it seem more like a wedding album, the page backgrounds are beautiful and the quality of the photos is perfect. We’ve had so many compliments from it, and both sets of parents have asked for their own copies as well – need to get on that!

If you do want a wedding album but you can’t quite justify the expense of a photographer, definitely check out Snapfish. You don’t have to have the same type as us, there’s loads of other finishes available, but it’s perfect for putting together. I may have also picked up a wedding photo calendar as well, I got carried away. Don’t judge.

It’s also a great idea for a Valentines present… If you’ve just been on a big holiday, or got married, pop one of these together and you have yourself the perfect personal present. Just an FYI…
