Display your Memories in a Beautifully Crafted Book

In this age of digital photography, we take more photos than we ever did before. Almost everyone owns some kind of gadget that captures photos such as a digital camera or even a mobile phone. Sadly, most of you keep them in computers or memory sticks and rarely get around to develop your photos. This puts you at risk of losing precious photo memories, a shame considering what photos represent to all of us.

With our wide range of photo display options, you’re sure to be inspired to whip out that memory stick, develop your photos, and display them as they deserve, preserving them for you and your family. The memories “captured” in your photo scrapbooks and memory albums deserve to be displayed in an equally treasured setting. Used to house photographs of any size, layout design storyboards, display artwork or chronicle projects, nothing makes quite the same impact it does as when presented in a beautifully crafted book.

Our photo album is a home to remember special people, places, times, projects, thoughts, journeys. It can help frame and tell a story, perhaps a story that may have long forgotten….

How to arrange your photos?

When it comes to arranging photos in an album, most of us would either shun the idea after placing all the photos and albums on the table or stop and stare blankly at the pile of photos. If you’re faced with a stack of photos and several empty albums and don’t know where to start, don’t be disheartened. There are plenty of options for how to arrange those photos.

Arranging pictures in a photo album can be a daunting task. Reorganizing your photo collection is definitely not an easy task and rather time consuming too. The key to making this task simple is to choose an organizational method for your photos that can be used all the way through. This will not only make the storage process easier and faster – it’ll also make the photos more appealing. Let’s begin.

Option One: Arranging by Theme
If you have plenty of photos taken at special events like weddings and birthdays, you might want to consider themed photo albums. Devote one album to each separate event, and organize the photos inside accordingly- either chronologically, or in an artistic way that creates a sort of scrapbook of memories. Creating themed photo albums tends to take up more time than the other methods of organization, since many people like to decorate the albums and add other items that remind them of the event, like ticket stubs or postcards. If you don’t mind devoting many hours to this project and you love the idea of themed photo albums, then it’s a fun and rewarding thing to do. Best of all, a themed photo album makes a great gift for the wedding couple or the person whose birthday celebration the album commemorates.

Option Two: Arranging by Date
Depending on the age of your photos, this one can be tricky. Many people have old family pictures that are undated, or that include people whose age at the time of the shot is not immediately obvious. Unless your relatives were given to writing the date on the back of the pictures, you might have a very big job ahead of you. But you can also consider this a major service to future generations. If you want to create a truly chronological album of your pictures, get on the phone to great Aunt Mary and do whatever research necessary to arrange and date those old photos. Remember not to write directly on the photos; rather, use post-it note pads on back of photos or stack them in order as you find out the dates, and then label the pages of the album with the date and event.

Of course, there’s no rule that says a chronological album has to be perfectly exact right down to the month and date. If you have a basic idea of where the photos fall in the timeline, you can arrange the photos in general order, which will be plenty fine for storage purposes. It really depends on how far you want to go. Either way, make sure to document whatever dates you do remember. When the photo album becomes full, move on to the next one, and keep them stored together so that they create a family timeline. Eventually you’ll have a stack of photo albums that run in order from the very oldest shots to the newest. And then buy another blank album in preparation for the photos to come.
