Get excited because we have 2 Project Play sessions this month!

Stacy has researched and prepared a list of links for the perfect holiday photo book gift. This project requires minimal effort in the way of cutting, pasting, or designing a layout, and really only requires your curation skills, which we’ve worked on all year.

All together we run through some FUN picture book themes and how you can use your AI and your photo app to make that curation even simpler. Stacy, and those in attendance, went through a quick brainstorm, sharing both themes, ideas and printing options.

Here’s a few of those fun themes!
Some more general ideas…

• Little Things I love

• Family Faces

• Grandkids

• The Year in Smiles

• This is Home

• Seasons of Love

• The Color Book

And Alphabet Books (great for using your 🔤 tagged photos!)…

• The A to Z of US

• Our 2025 Alphabet Story

• (Smith family) A to Z

• The ABCs of (Jane)

And Numbers…

• 25 Moments to Remember

• 25 Reasons to Smile

• 1 to 10 ( 1 Sunrise, 2 Shoes, 3 friends, and so on)

• 18 Years with (Jane)

There are of course many more options—limited only by your imagination! If this sounds like the sort of gift you need this busy season, give this session a watch HERE on YouTube. Don’t forget to look through the links below for places to print your books!
