Addiction to crafting and hobbies always work out for me. I get to produce more and creative ideas just keep pouring out once I get started. Last week, I was browsing online for some Cyber Monday deals as well as some crafting ideas when I stumbled on ArtsCow.com, an online digital photo printing service.
What makes it interesting is their wide array of personalized photo products, in fact there are more than 200 choices, ranging from your own photobooks, canvass prints, keychains, mousepads, bags, purses, watches, home items, clothing etc. And the prices are very affordable and judging by the reviews and testimonials I’ve been reading, the print and product quality are top notch too.
Another added feature is their client designer, you just need to download Microsoft Silverlight and you can personalize your items to the hilt! They also have an extensive collection of free and paid scrapbooking kits you can use to enhance your design.
I love personalized items! And if you sign up with ArtsCow you can enjoy a lot of freebies. Free prints in different sizes and also some personalized items. You only need to pay for the shipping fee. So, I got down had been designing a lot of personalized things. Once I’m done with all the designing I’ll be ordering them and have it shipped to the Philippines. I found out ArtsCow is based in Hong Kong, so shipping within Asia via regular air mail doesn’t cost that much. I’m only trying out the free stuff first – lol! I wanna see the quality first. I’m planning to order in one batch so the shipping fees will be lesser.
Anyway, here’s just a preview of some items I’ve been trying to make and note that all these are my freebies except for the leather handbag which costs about $20..
Photobooks from left: Travel Photos – All Over Cambodia 2008-2010; Chinks Girly Girl Photobook; My Daily Planner
Buttons: Been to Cambodia Mini Button; Denim Lover 2.25” Button; Born to Travel mini button
Mousepads..
Misc Items: Collage Prints 8×10 (I’ve got 5 free prints for the month!); a pencil case for Chinks; a leather handbag..
I’m still doing some finishing on the collages as well as the photobooks. I’m just so excited to get it all done, lol yesterday I didn’t stop editing till my arm was aching already! I hope I’ll finish up soon so I could order it and have it with me!!! and for sure I’ll be posting actual photos of the items once I have them. If the items turn out all right, I think I’ve just discovered a great gifting idea!
