How to Print, Store & Display Photo Memories
I don’t know about you, but printing pictures is just not at the top of my list of things to do. I love taking and sharing pictures, but I am not a fan of the process of printing the photos. What I hate even more is spending tons of money on prints that get stuffed in the closet and never get seen again. Today, I’m sharing some ideas that will make it easier to print, store, and display your favorite photo memories.

How to Print, Store & Display Photo Memories
Print Photo Tiles
If you have a series of pictures that you want to frame and display, then Mixtiles may be just what you are dreaming of. This is the simplest way to order and display your favorite photos. Just download the Mixtiles app, select your images, and choose your frame. Mixtiles does the rest. They ship your tiles ready to hang on your wall. No nails are needed. Simply peel off the tape on the back, add them directly to your wall, and leave no damage behind!
Print from your phone
If you have a convenience store near you, then download the store app, upload your pictures, and select pick up in-store. I do this often with our local Walgreens. This is a super simple way to get the photos off your phone and printed. Search online for a coupon code and you can often save a few dollars at the same time.
Look for Rebates:
When you are ready to order your prints online, make sure you start at Mr. Rebates Many online photo sites will offer a rebate just for starting your shopping on the Mr. Rebates site. You simply type in the photo company you plan to use. For example, Snapfish offers a 6% rebate! Since you are planning to order the pictures anyway, why not get some money put back in your pocket?

Store your pictures the Smart Way:
Several years ago I discovered these photo storage boxes that make organizing my extra photos a snap. I found these plastic photo storage boxes that allow me to separate my pictures into years and events. 16 individual plastic boxes hold 100 4×6 pictures each. I have been sorting my pictures into events and years. I can now just open the plastic storage box and pull out the pictures from our vacation in 1999 or 2003 and see what we did that year. Talk about easy storage! I feel so organized now!
Buy a photo album:
Plan for success by ordering or purchasing a photo album today. I have been wanting to create a new photo album of pictures of me and my husband from the past 30 years so I started collecting them all in a box.
The Sorrento Extra Large Photo Album is perfect to collect and preserve my favorite photos of the two of us. This premium-quality leather photo album is handmade in Italy from only the finest Italian leather. Use double-sided acid-free tape to attach the photos in place.
My next goal for this month is to sort out all the pictures and decide where I want them to be on each page. I think this will be a perfect project for my next rainy day!
Make notes beside each picture in style with a Pelikan Ineo Fiery Red Ballpoint Pen.
Display on the wall:
If you love to display your photos but hate when they get outdated, then you may want to try one of the easy hanging photo storage options. I have a plastic frame that allows me to slide in random 4×6 pictures as I get them printed. I can change them out anytime I want to. Many varieties of Hanging Photo Displays give you the option to switch out your photos easily.
How do you store, display and enjoy all the pictures in your life? I’d love to hear your favorite tips!
