Custom Card Idea

Here is an idea for a versatile custom card.  You create a card that has an area where you can adhere a 4x6 photo before sending it but instead of leaving that 4x6 slot blank you fill it in with some papers and maybe a quote.  This way if you don't have a photo to attach you can send the card anyway.  These can be created on the 5x7 flat or folded cards.  If you are doing a flat card you might want to put just A note from: and your name on the back on some coordinating paper.  If you are doing a folded card you could even create another photo slot for the top inside of the card.  Of course you could always make these in the portrait orientation too.  The possibilities are endless.  These make very unique cards and for a lot less than cards in the stores.  Plus cards are on sale for 20% off through December 31.  I know you might not have time to make your cards now but you can always purchase a product credit and have 180 days to make your card. 

Note: The Enchanted Power Palette was used to create this sample. 

Create a Personalized Custom Mug in StoryBook Creator 4.0

In addition to the pre-designed templates (where you just drop your photos in) on the Creative Memories Digital Center you have the option to create your very own personalized mug.  Here are the step-by-step directions.  You would also follow these same directions to create a personalized mouse pad or t-shirt.  For the mouse pad use the custom dimensions of either 9.25 x 7.75 or 7.75 x 9.25.  For the t-shirt use the custom dimensions of either 13.5 x 10.5 or 10.5 x 13.5 depending on whether you want it portrait or landscape orientation.

"Do you remember the last really great gift you got? You remember, don't you? You made that little happy, squeally noise and then tried to blame it on the dog? At Creative Memories we have the gumption to envision a world filled with happy, squeally noises. And you can be a major distributor." ~ Creative Memories

There is still time to create a really unique gift idea for anyone on your gift list - a photo panel.  A photo panel is a picture ready to display with no frame needed.  It is simple and classic and will take your breath away.  It is a gift that will bring a smile to the recipents face all year long. 

You can choose between the traditional type or the new metal type.  The metal ones are actually printed on metal and are gorgeous.  The whites and lighter colors of your photos will have an irridescent look.  These are beautiful for both modern photos and heritage photos.  The traditional type is a bit thicker and has a shiny acrylic type finish.  You can use the traditional photo panel as a white board.  This is great for to-do lists, menu boards, inspiration boards, etc.  The panels come in 4 sizes - 5x7 (both horizontal and vertical), 8x8, 11x8.5 (both horizontal and veritcal) and 12x12.  The 12x12 is designed to hang on a wall but can also be used on a tabletop if you have an easel stand.  The other sizes come with an easel built it. 

You can use one picture, add a quote, use your favorite album page, or design something completely unique.  If you don't have StoryBook Creator or sbcStudio you can use one of the pre-desinged templates at the Creative Memories Digtial Center.  Or if you would like to create a custom panel just give me a call and I would love to work with you to create the design of your dreams. 

These also make great teacher gifts, gifts for your boss, grandparent gifts, babysitter gifts, for your own office, for just about anyone. 

Here are a few examples of photo panels created to be used as a White Board.
