The artwork most likely to get thrown away are pictures drawn, colored, or painted because they are simply paper. Where are you supposed to put all of those things?!
No more screening on t-shirts, coasters, or bags to keep your child's pictures! T-shirts fade, coasters get lost or ruined, and sometimes (as much as you love your child) you don't want to carry everywhere.
Well, my hubby and I were talking today about our wedding album when it came to me: why not create a collection of your child's artwork using something like Shutterfly? My mom had this great idea to put together our wedding album using Shutterfly. It was absolutely beautiful and personal. All she did was upload our pictures to the site, and she and her friend formatted and captioned all of them. Also, a bonus, Shutterfly will keep all pictures you upload for an unlimited time (this is especially nice for those of us who live in areas with hurricane where our house and all of belongings may be blown away!).
All you have to do is collect your child's or children's artwork for a period of time, scan it in, and upload to shutterfly.com. Then you can choose your format and size of book. Books range in size from 5x7 to 12x12 (perfect coffee table book!)
This could be a great gift for moms, dads, grandparents, other family, or as a keep sake!
