4×6 photos

My husband and I recently took an amazing trip to the Tour of California with some of our best friends. We made incredible memories so when we got home, our first priority was setting up a date to review and trade pictures, laugh and recount the memories. 

Sharing pictures is a very special part of life, so keeping them safe is of utmost importance. As a crafter, it’s impossible to just hand over a stack of photos without doing something creative with them. I printed doubles of our photos and rather than turning them over in a plain envelope, I utilized the clear, sturdy (and archival-safe of course) Iris photo cases! The top is flat making it perfect to add a splash of creativity, which in this case, was customized with the initial of the recipient. Simply use your scraps and items you have on hand – that’s all it takes! 

Holding up to 100 4” x 6” photos, these Iris cases are great for long-term storage, or for keeping photos for upcoming projects safe until you’re prepared to create! And no worries if you become addicted to using these cases like me – there is a larger organizer to keep multiple cases stored neatly together, a fabulously organized solution!

It was brought to my attention by a friend of mine that not everyone blows up the photos they intend to use on a scrapbook page. Some people prefer to strictly use 4×6 photos! Point taken…I just can’t help myself. When I have a fabulous photo, I like to enlarge it and use it as the focal point. I also like the look of photos in a variety of sizes displayed together. However, I understand that not everyone has the time or desire to manipulate their photos for each and every scrapbook page. I ran across this magazine in our store the other day and couldn’t wait to show my friend. It has great ideas and samples of pages using ONLY 4×6 photos. Who knew?! I’m not sure if she was happier with the magazine or the fact that she is not alone in her scrapbooking style. As it turns out, I discovered that I really LOVE many of the samples using just 4×6 photos, and it will save me a ton of time.You may be seeing something from this magazine on Scraplift Monday!
