Here’s a great photo gift idea that’s easy to make using photos that you already have and the (free!) Heritage Makers Studio online. With only a few clicks, you can design a cute square flip photo book to share with family and friends — and if you’re a photographer, it’s a great product to give to your clients! (Amanda and Allen: If you’re reading this post, expect to see this little gift at your doorstep soon!)

For my square flip book, I used a vintage paper background which is part of the Heritage Makers Studio program. I added a frame embellishment to the photo on the front cover and a patterned paper frame to the back cover photograph. The interior pages follow a simple, clean grid layout; and all I had to do (after importing my photos into the Studio program) was drag and drop the photos into place. In less than an hour, I published and placed my order for a 20-page wire-bound square swatch book that will have an archival cover and premium velvet paper interiors. I opted for ground shipping, so I’m looking forward to getting my photo book within the next couple of weeks!
