Does your phone have a gallery of photos sitting there with no place to go? Do you want to print those pictures or make a memory book but feel like you don’t know where to start? Do you want to create a special gift for the holidays, a brag book for grandparents/parents/children/etc.? Come learn how to develop a system to get those photos off your phone and into view. Staring with the end in mind we will create a system and process, and walk through various options for backing up your photos and organizing your files on your computer. Next we’ll go over various options for printing out your photographs. See various ideas for how to put your photos together or display them to gain creative ideas from mini brag book gifts to wall galleries displayed in your home. I will share physical examples of some work I have created throughout the years and share about products and companies I use for my personal projects. Stop just scrolling through those pictures and get them off your phone or computer so you can really enjoy them today! About Instructor Mary Henson: I have been crafting in all honesty since I was a child and could cut and color. While my husband was deployed to Afghanistan with the Marine Corps, I decided to create a scrapbook about what life was like for me while he was gone so I could share it with him when he returned. I soon began to create a yearly project of our adventures together starting in 2013. I have been creating a family yearbook since then of each week in our life, including how things have changed with the introduction of my two daughters. Additionally, I create an album documented a week in our lives and create a scrapbook dedicated solely to documenting our December leading up to the holidays.
