We challenged creative parent bloggers to transform their kids art into photo gifts that can be treasured forever. Today, we\u2019re sharing tips from Mel of Le Coin de Mel<\/a>, whose transformed her kids masterpieces into bright colorful photo books<\/a> they can look back on for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excerpts from Le Coin de Mel:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When the lovely people at Snapfish challenged me to create End-of-School Year Keepsakes, I knew exactly what I was going to do. For a couple of years, I\u2019ve been thinking of taking photos of their artwork and compiling them all in an album each so they could look at their drawings whenever they wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can imagine, it took forever to sort through all their drawings and decide which ones were going to make it to the books, but it was a really enjoyable process. We did it together and had lots of fun looking at their early mark-making and primitive drawings, comparing them with each other at similar ages, noticing patterns and recognizing traits of personality through their artwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, I picked the photo books<\/a> I wanted. There was a wide range to choose from, and 7 different sizes I could pick. I went for 4 completely different books, and also opted for pre-made design templates to make the whole process a lot easier for myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The books were incredibly quick and easy to put together. What I found really useful was being able to sort photos from oldest to newest and vice versa or shuffle them if you wanted to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Less than a week after I ordered the book, they\u2019d arrived. Talk about fast processing time! Crevette, Beanie and I had a nice bike ride to our sorting office yesterday to collect the books and they couldn\u2019t wait to see them as I\u2019d kept the final design and look a secret. When they all opened their albums, it was like Christmas Day for them (and for me too!). The quality of all four books is impressive and I love the fact all photo books, cards and bespoke gifts by Snapfish are made in the US, which helps secure more jobs and avoids adding to our carbon footprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll certainly be treasuring these beautiful books for years to come and I\u2019ll keep taking photos of my children\u2019s drawings as they land on the dining room table, so I can print them and add them to the albums, or even create new albums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
