Digital photos and frosted glass photo mugs



I totally see a frosted glass photo mug in your future. They come in different sizes that is to say that they hold different amounts of liquid. I’ve got a 10 ounce frosted glass photo mug, and a 16 or is it 18 ounce one as well. I love the smaller one for coffee, and the taller one for beer or margaritas.

The frosted glass photo mugs don’t look as crisp as the white ceramics becuase you can see through the mug. There’s not a solid surface behind the photo to make it look crisp. The look is almost see through which creates a really cool effect with darker beers or coffee. You almost reveal your photo as you drink. I also like the fact that not everyone has a glass photo mug, so it’s unique and stands out from the pack. You should check them out. You’ll like it.

Is my timing right?



There’s not doubt that images are powerful things. A family photo can take you back in an instant. We all look at ways of emblishing, preserving and showing off our most precious posessions our family photos. I love the all of the amazing items that photos can be morphed into these days. One of the most interesting I’ve see are photo puzzles made from any family photo.

You don’t need an expensive camera. I’ve made photo puzzles from 1 mega-pixel, 2 mega-pixel, 3 mega-pixel and 7 mega-pixel images and trust me they all looked great. I made photo puzzles from scanned images and I even made one from a image I captured from my camcorder. Don’t be affraid to give a try. You’ll love the results!

Crisp and clean



Have you seen a product called the Framing Station from Frame My Photos? It’s a complete package that frames your photos in the most amazing artwork for use in print outs, e-mail, social networking posts and photo gifts. A product that frames photos sounds simple, and can easily be dismissed as a nice, cute or small product. That’s why you’ll be totally blown away when you can see exactly what actual users of the products can create. There are hundreds of samples on their website and they only represent only a fraction of the frames (over 18,000) included in the Ultimate Combo Pack.

A quick review of their website shows the core essence of the product. Simply put, they frame digital photos in professionally illustrated frames. It sounds simple, and it is intentionally. But that’s not to say it’s not technically and creatively powerful as the samples clearly demonstrate. They’ve made the software accessible and immediately usable by those new to computers, and familiar to those proficient in them. The Framing Station delivers immediate results and satisfaction with little to no work on the user’s part. They’ve done all of the hard illustration and composition work, so that the user simply needs to select their photo, choose a frame and press print.

The Framing Station also excels at creating artwork that is ready for an entire range of photo gifts. Users can save their framed photos at a professional resolution (300 dpi), so that they can get the best possible results when printing commercially. User’s can take their saved photos and make posters, mugs, t-shirts and a host of other photo gifts.

If you haven’t seen the Framing Station we strongly recommend you check it out at the Frame My Photos website. The URL is www.framemyphotos.com framed baseball photo

My wife got me one



I remember playing baseball when I was young. I would pitch for three innings, and catch for three. We’d never run as hard as we did to the snack stand after the game. Like all baseball teams, we took team and individual photos. Imagine my surprise when my wife took my old baseball photo and made a photo light switch cover out of it. Check it out

The company that made mine can make a light switch cover from any photo. They specialize in making trading card style photo light switch covers like this

Think of how cool it would be if you were a kid again and your parent made one of these for you. I think it would be amazing!

Really cool idea



I came accross this site that can do the coolest thing.  They can take your digital photos and turn them into a personalized photo trailer hitch cover.  They can use digital photos from any source: digital cameras, camcorders, scanners, internet downloads and e-mail.  You simply take your digital photo and e-mail it to them.  They’ll take it and actually make it a part of the trailer hitch cover.  Their process takes the image and pushes it deep into the surface like a tattoo, so it will never peel or come off.  Here are a few examples from their site:

 

You can make a 24 hour a day business card that rides on your bumper.  You can add photos or use your company’s logo for your hitch cover.  They’ll even make a sports trading card for you.  The only limit is your imagination!
