If you are like me, at some point you will of had an old brown leather suitcase under the bed, full of old photos. I decided that it was a shame to leave the all of those photos under the bed, however I also didn’t want framed photos all over the house. I decided to create a photo book to treasure those family memories.
Snapfish produce fabulous photo books, I have used them in the past to create wonderful summer holiday photo books, and wondered if I could do the same with these old photos. I decided to scan them in (but you could also photograph them) and although this took a while, the results were far better than I had expected.
I uploaded them into the Snapfish Photo Book builder, and chose a suitable background. There were plenty of layouts (and even embellishments to choose from).
To go along with all the photos, I created a Family Tree using some Photo Editing software, and uploaded it to the Photo Book. It helped to give some context to who all of these photos were of.
I am delighted with how the book has turned out. I gave a copy to my Grandmother on her 100th birthday and it was the best gift she could have received!
When designing the photo book, I was able to mix and match the colour and sepia/ black & white photos really well. As well as giving a copy to Grandma, I also have a copy on my coffee table – it is a great conversational piece.
I am now looking at what I can do with all my children’s school drawings and certificates.

Hello
I love this idea. Before you changed the website I was using this background for my project about our old cottage. Unfortunately I did not had the chance to ordered my beautiful book , with changing your website my all projects disappeared . Now I have restarted my project again but can not find this background. Please, can you send information how to find this background on your new website?
Kind Regards
Joanna
Hello Joanna,
It is a wonderful idea, and such a special way to share your family tree. Unfortunately this exact background design is not available on the new Snapfish. You can find a similar design if you click on backgrounds > family > family memories. I hope this helps 🙂
