Featured Project: Joyce's Sweet Treats Recipe Book

Joyce loves sweets, photography, Christmas and her family. For Christmas she combined all of these loves to create a Sweet Treats Recipe book as her Christmas gift to her family.

Using the small square format, Joyce set the book up with a family dedication, contents page and page numbers. She ordered several copies of the book to give to delighted family in New Zealand.

Joyce had been planning the book for a little while before Christmas, giving herself some time to not only make and photograph all the recipes in the book, but style them with Christmas accessories and decorations.

Sticking to a consistent use of fonts, colours and layout gives Joyce's book a very professional and polished look.

Because Joyce was planning on ordering several copies of her book, she ordered one copy of the book first to ensure she was completely happy with the layout and alignment of her photos and text.

We think the result is good enough to eat!

Featured Projects: Kylie's 2012 Family Desk Calendar

Kylie created this elegantly simple 2012 Desk Calendar for her family as Christmas gifts this season. As a working mum finding Christmas gifts that are unique, useful and touching is always a challenge. Kylie followed a very simple design layout, sticking to one hero photo on a page, mixing black and white photos with closeup full colour shots.

'I loved the fact that I could create it once, and easily order enough copies for both sides of my family with a few clicks' she explained.

'When I received the calendars, I also really loved the thick matte paper the calendars were printed on. It's a really beautiful feature of these products' she said.

Christmas Gift Idea: Annual Photo Book

A gorgeous gift for that special someone this Christmas is a photo book documenting your year with them. Create a fun and inspiring book of all your adventures together in the last year. We suggest using a medium sized photo book (available in landscape, portrait or square formats) in order to create a gorgeous keepsake perfect for leaving on display as a reminder of the good times.

The book could include anything you like - photos of your favourite cafe, with a close up positioned opposite of that perfect cup of coffee they make and one of the quirky chairs you always sit on. Add in photos of a trip you took together, any events you attended or any images that you love. Then insert text such as memorable quotes that kept you laughing for hours, or a description of how that day or moment made you feel.

Choose a theme that will complement both your styles and the overall feel of the photo book, and stay consistent with that theme throughout. Botaniska is perfect for creating a soft, feminine feel featuring floral motifs in fashionable tones of khaki and pink. Sketch is also a gorgeous, universal option combining fresh colours of sky blue, cool grey, chocolate brown and white with stripy patterns and vintage images of scissors and pencils. For a partner, the Sweethearts theme will lend a fun, loving feel to your creative project with red and pink hearts and spots! Too cute!

Put some time aside to create your photo book. Give yourself space to collect the photos you want to include and memories you want to feature. You’ll love putting it together and love seeing the look on their face when they open it!
