With social distancing the norm these days, no-one is travelling and visiting with friends and loved ones like they used to. Thank goodness for the many phone calls, texts, and video chats to keep everyone feeling connected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

While these digital fixes are helpful, people still enjoy and long for something tangible to hold on to. With a photo book<\/a>, you can capture a special moment in time \u2014 one that you can revisit whenever the mood strikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quarantine Memories<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With many schools and offices closed, families are spending more time than ever together. As everyone has been living through this historical moment, many have been documenting their daily routine with photos and social media posts. However, extended families aren\u2019t able to join in on the fun, too. When you make a custom photo book<\/a>, your loved ones can get a peek into your daily routines, while keeping a safe distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With over 100 designs, you\u2019ll have no problem finding the perfect theme for your photo book. Our exclusive designs include plenty of space for pictures as well as fun text prompts, and captions for you to fill in. Don\u2019t forget to add in some screenshots from your video chats & virtual celebrations, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having trouble thinking of what photos and activities to use? How about all the fun photos you\u2019ve taken during family game nights. Or document all the cooking and baking experiments you\u2019ve created in the kitchen. While you\u2019re there, add in a recipe or two you\u2019ve grown fond of. Have any snapshots from your latest TikTok challenge? These will be great to look back on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t see a theme you\u2019re looking for, you can always create your own design in the Snapfish desktop photo book project builder. When you start with a blank template, you can choose from multiple layouts, designs, embellishments, or add in your own text. Looking to make something really easy? The free Snapfish photo app<\/a> lets you quickly upload photos, adjust layouts, and add a pop of colour to pages \u2013 all in minutes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pick a portrait, square, or landscape orientation that suits the style of your photographs. You can also upgrade your book to a matt cover<\/a> for a refined look.

You can even choose from four different paper types<\/a> for your inside pages as well: layflat, metallic, glossy, and satin. Whatever you select, it\u2019s sure to be unforgettable!
