postercandy // the modern photo album.

As a kid i remember mom pulling out the old pentax {not old at the time} and taking photos of us wherever we wandered. She was keen to keep memories with piles of photos printed and sorted. In boxes, in albums, in frames. As a teenager I would flip through and my memory would jig. The sounds, the smells, the feelings, would all come flooding back. I think it is this reason that taking photos is one of my biggest passions.

Nowadays we tend to have our phone {occasional camera} with us wherever we roam. Snapping our kids, our friends, our lunch. Sharing in the virtual world of facebook, blogs and instagram. Often we forget to print them, to hold them, to use them to remember. In the past few years, I have made some photo albums, & some photo books as well. We adore them all.

But now we have another current favourite way to keep the memories.

Postercandy. Gosh, I adore these.

You can use images on your computer, facebook or instagram.  The designs can handle from 6-368 photos {hold moly!}. It is super easy to use. You can crop, randomize and move around your photos until you love the poster. They are even working on letting you make posters from your phone. Too easy!

I love how piper points out her photos and constantly tells us stories about each. I love staring at the photos and remembering my own stories. It is pure magic and on your doorstep within 8 days from clicking your order through! I also love the distraction from the TV screen that takes up far too much wall space. Another story!

So go on...make some memories.

  2. What a great way to put the best of all your instagram photos together. I have a terrible habit of hardly printing any photos out. It's so easy to forget, as a result, all these great little memories!
