Although I do really miss the process (and excessive amount of paper products to buy) of scrapbooking, I have been loving the digital apps that make it easy to get the bajillion photos I take with my phone out of the cloud and into print form. I love when families’ stories can live on through pictures and stories in this way for generations to come…..here are a few products/apps I love with some freebie/discounts if you’re interested in them too!
CHATBOOKS:
What I love about this app is it automatically tracks your Instagram account and when you get to the next 60 pictures, it prints a book automatically (if you set it to that setting). You can also customize and make your own books if you wanted to just add them from your photo roll. The quality of pages is great and the small book size looks so cute on bookshelves or a coffee table! If you want your first book FREE, click here!
Groovebook:
These little books are perfect for documenting our families’ fun adventures one month at a time and with a very small price point ($2.99 per month, subscription style), feel free to order one for each kiddo or send some along to the grandparents who will love glimpsing at your life one month at a time. The paper quality and color is not great (you get what you pay for kinda thing) but our kiddos absolutely love these, especially for craft projects using the pictures…..if you want to sign up, use the link in the bottom picture and get a FREE Groovebook!
Blog2Print:
If you do have a blog or any sort of online story tracking system (even if it’s just private for your family)…..it’s great to put these stories into print just in case something happens to the online space that those memories are held in. These are ones that our kiddos always look at and read. I love that they get to read some of my perspectives and thoughts on their childhood…..and I’m especially excited for their grandchildren to read about THEM as children and so on and so on. When you register and sign up, you get 20% off your first book. They always do an awesome 10 day New Year deal which is when I have my biog from the previous year printed.
How do you keep your families’ memories alive and in print around your home? Would love to see and hear new ideas…..
