If You Want To Give The Ultimate Personal Gift You Need To
|
Start with your own collection of photos.
Then look at photos your parents have,
ask
your brothers and sister if
they have any special photos that you may restore and copy. These type of gifts take time and
planning. The person you give it to will know
that. Be ready for those birthdays and anniversaries through the year, that are coming up sooner than you think.
Any ordinary photo can be made special and given for whatever reason
on any off season to lift someone's spirits.
|
When
looking at photographs use your imagination on the possibilities to bring
life back into tired old photos. E-mail us a photo and we can tell
you if we could improve it. Look at our Photo Gallery Categories to
see photos similar to what you have. You may a have photo that was
not a great shot but could be cropped and fixed to look like a
professional portrait
|
 After
fixing his collar and cropping it for a professional looking composition,
we turned this 5x7 color photograph into black and white portrait by
enlarging it to
an 8 x 10
|
|
Decorating
with photos is another custom gift option. How many times have
you been attracted to a decorative frame and the photo you think of just
will not fit the frame or is too damaged to want to display, never mind
giving as a gift.
|
|
These
are National holidays but don't forget those personal ones! Birthdays
and Anniversaries.

February
14 - Valentines Day
Give Custom
Memories
|
|
Valentine's day
doesn't have to be about chocolate, roses and balloons, attach a
sentimental photo! That says you planned ahead. The time to express your
love to anyone you love, not only your romantic love. Don't forget your
family.
|
|
Create a scrapbook
with a theme thanking them for everything they do to show their love for
you with photos throughout the year. If you don't have these photos
start catching your loved ones doing the things you love about them,
throughout the year and get busy scrapbooking for next Valentine's Day,
birthday or Christmas.
|
Turn
any photo into a puzzle.
It comes in a little
box in 30 pieces. As they begin put it together, watch
their expression change as their sentimental photo appears before their eyes! Just
think of a photo you have of your sweetheart that may have been damaged and
you give it to them repaired. Or a
small photo they liked so much and you had it enlarged and frame for them!

Buy
a single or a double locket
and have photos reduced to fit. See

Decorating
with Photos
So you fell in love with a
picture frame and took it home only to find that the photo you thought
might fit, did not. You have two options, take it back or come
see us to fit everyone of the photos you wanted for your theme. Ever notice how nice the frame looks with the store
photograph in it? and when you get home and put your photos in it,
your not so in love any more? It's because none of your
photos were made for that space. Next
time you find a photograph frame to die for, go ahead and buy it and
call us.

If you thought about just cutting the original
photo...think again. Not a good idea. What happens when the frame
gets tired looking or you change your decorating theme? Never cut your
originals, they should always be in an acid free environment. See
more...on decorating with photos.

We
receive so many request for this service that it's worth saying...we
do not provide this service. If
you are interested in having your photos transferred onto CD or video, transferring
your video to DVD or transferring an 8mm film to DVD you may want to try some of
these below. One stop shopping is not always
a good idea. Restoration is all we do that's why we are the best. We only charge $2.
per scan photos to CD. Some of these video people are big chain stores that
do a great job with the video but not on the restoration. Restoration is
our specialty. Did you know it is possible to get still shots from your old
films? If you do manage to get still shots and they need restoration do
call. They almost always need restoring.
We
are not responsible for the quality of service from any of the services
listed here. We only
list these people as possibilities. Use at your discretion, if
you have a problem with them let us know. If you used someone else
and you loved them let us know we will list them here, thanks.

The image of mother behind them in the 1900s

collage on poor paper, you can see part of one photo at the bottom.
Since it was going to be faded out a bit anyway giving it a heavenly
appearance.
