<p>In the headlong rush of our modern life, it&#8217;s easy to lose a precious moment. Even when we manage to snap a picture on a mobile phone or digital camera, those images can get lost in the shuffle, buried in thousands of thumbnail-sized photos, stored on a chip. If the device gets stolen, lost or damaged, those memories are gone forever.<br />
Preserve and display the photos of your loved ones, your celebrations, your treasured pets, or faraway travels in ways that give them all the attention they deserve!</p>
<h2>Canvas Prints</h2>
<p>You don&#8217;t have to settle for a plain snapshots on paper in a standard matte and frame. Give your precious photos pride of place in a way that truly commands attention with a high-quality canvas print. Whether it&#8217;s a simple portrait or a poster-sized landscape, canvas adds texture, depth and beauty to any image. Custom-design your canvas in colors that complement any room in the house. Make a series of prints to line a hallway, staircase or foyer. Try a single large print that dominates the room and draws the eye to an image of glorious flowers, cherished people, exotic animals, a panoramic landscape or waterscape, famous architecture or abstract shapes. Your friends will think you&#8217;ve spent a fortune on artists and interior decorators!</p>
<h2>Photo Books</h2>
<p>There&#8217;s no limit to the creativity you can express with a custom-printed photo book. The format can be traditional or ultramodern, in black-and-white, sepia tones or vivid, vibrant colour. Combine snapshots in collages or use a single photo for a two-page spread! Tell the story of your loved one&#8217;s life or your family&#8217;s history through generations with captions to help them come alive, never to be forgotten. Make a photo book to document a child&#8217;s first birthday party or milestone birthday for a loved one of any age. A travel book from your exotic vacation lets you return there any time you wish. Personalized Photo books also make great holiday, birthday or wedding gifts for friends and family.</p>
<h2>Calendars</h2>
<p>Even though we do a lot of our appointment setting and planning on laptops and mobile devices, most of us still love old-fashioned print calendars we can hang on the wall. There is no better calendar that the one you design yourself. Choose any theme for the days, weeks and seasons of the year. Once you&#8217;ve chosen 12 images, it&#8217;s easy to drop them intoa wide selection of formats in a range of colours and sizes. Custom calendars make great gifts for family and friends and are a wonderful way to cherish shared moments and memories every day of the year!</p>
