You asked and we listened! We have had several customers call in and request that the photo book on our product page be made into an actual template that our members can use. Good news! This VIP template can be made into an 8×8 or 12×12 soft cover or hard cover photo book. To find and use this template, visit our template page and check out the VIP templates located in the summer and travel categories.

Below is a preview of some of the inside pages. The colors are great, so this book can be used for any spring and summer project and not just a trip to the beach! To make this creation your own, start from this template and add or delete any embellishments to fit your needs.

 We want to hear more from you! Please let us know what types of templates and embellishments you would like to see and use on our site.

We are offering a great deal on our image wrapped gallery canvases!

From now until tomorrow 5/6 11:59 PM CST you can get 60% off all 24×24 canvases! What makes our canvases different from others? For starters you can add text, embellishments, and multiple photos to each canvas. On top of that you can add different backgrounds that will show on the side wrap- it appears like a decorative border! We even offer designer templates that have creative and fun layouts which are fully customizable as well!

Below is an example of just one of the adorable templates we offer.

Simply add your photos and change the text to personalize this creation. The options are endless, let your creativity lead the way!

If you are looking for inspiration, techniques, recipes and anything in between, you really need to have an account on Pinterest. You can find it here.

Pinterest is like a tool that you can set up different boards, think of them as digital inspiration boards. Add the “Pin It” button from their site and when you see something you want to add you can pin it to the boards you make up depending on the subject matter. You can also see other peoples boards if you join their pins. It is quite an amazing little addiction, at least for me!  There is bit of etiquette you will need to know, but here is a link to that page.

MiDesign@Michaels™ has their own section, so you are liable to see a few ideas that might spark your creative side.

Enjoy becoming an addict like I am.

Want to share something sweet with your family and friends this St. Patrick’s Day? Use MiDesign@Michaels Photo Creations to create clever gift tags for lucky jars of candy!

I have a collection of Ball jars at home, so all I needed was candy, some ribbon, and my DIY Print from MiDesign@Michaels Photo Creations.I filled one jar with Reese’s peanut butter cup minis, but any gold wrapped candy would do. And I found some green wrapped Hershey’s Kisses for a second jar, but any color of Kisses will coordinate perfectly!
