"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.

Creating a Photo Panel

Looking for a unique, easy to create gift?  Our Photo Panels are perfect.  They are a photo and frame all in one.  The photos are printed on a high quality heavy board and they have a glossy coating on the front.  They print crystal clear, including any text you want to include.  Photo panels come in four sizes 5x7 and 11x8.5 in either vertical or horizontal and 8x8 or 12x12.  The first three sizes come with an easel on the back to stand on your table.  The 12x12 is printed on a much heavier board and comes with a keyhole on the back to hang on the wall.

You can use just one photo on the entire panel or you can add a quote or some embellishments to the photo.  You can also create the photo panel just as you would any StoryBook album page.  To make the project extra fast you can even import a page from a StoryBook automatically into the photo panel. 

I know any recipient of this amazing gift will be so thankful and will treasure it as an addition to their home or office.  It will make them smile every time they look at it.  What more could you ask for in a gift.
