scrapbooking or storybooking your photos: tip 1

For the next 10 days, I'm posting 10 tips for success in getting a handle on your photos (digital can be out of control, right?) and then publishing them!!  

Photos don't mean anything when they're just amassed--they need to be interacted with.  So let's get those photos into PRINT!  

Keep checking back every day for the next ten days for all the tips!


UPDATE 2023:  Heritage Makers and Snap2Finish became YPhoto under Youngevity (which purchased Heritage Makers in 2013).  YPhoto does not offer cloud photo storage. Best-in-the-industry photo-memory book quality and permanent cloud photo storage with guaranteed privacy are required for anything recommended here by Photo & Story Treasures, so we highly recommend Forever  

Forever has a free app as well as an auto-sync option, which makes this tip so easy!


In fact, the Forever app's "sync" is much better than other photo cloud storage "syncs" because Forever's isn't a true sync--and I'll tell you why that's so important!

I learned this from a professional photo organizer:  With most photo cloud storage companies, your phone is directly connected to your photo storage so it syncs.  So what that means is that whatever you do to one, you do to the other.  In other words, if you delete a photo from your phone, it's also deleted from your cloud storage.  (She told me there are ways around this, but most people don't even know about it!)  

Forever's sync isn't like that.  If you turn on the auto-sync feature, then photos from your phone or tablet are automatically uploaded to your Forever account, but then they stay there.  You are then free to delete them from your phone if you like!


There is an option to auto-upload photos from your phone or tablet to your Forever Storage, or you can upload manually, choosing which photos and videos you want to save forever.  Even when you choose auto-upload (sometimes referred to as auto-sync) with Forever, it's true photo storage, not just a cloud backup directly connected to your device.

Forever Storage (where your photos are stored) offers things no other cloud photo storage service does, too, including:


and you get to stop paying monthly fees for photo storage because with Forever you actually BUY the storage and then OWN it--you don't "rent" it!

Definitely get in a regular habit of uploading your photos to your memory-keeping account so that you're always one step closer to being able to put them in scrapbooks or storybooks!



Stay tuned for tip #2 next time!
