A Picture is Worth a 1,000 Words

It seems like with each year’s passing that time goes more and more quickly.  It leaves me longing for capturing and remembering memories and events.  Palette & Paper offers a lot of products to help memorialize those memories.  However, a big part of memories is capturing photographs to incorporate into your planner, scrapbook pages, traveler’s notebook, art journal and more.
 
Most photos are captured using our smartphones (gotta love not having to haul around a separate camera), so I thought I would share a few of my favorite apps for photos, including editing, organizing and printing.

Looking for an app to help boost the colors in your photos? Convert them to black and white? Make them warmer or cooler looking?  Add some light flares or bokeh?  Try out A Color Story.

It is free with in-app purchases available ranging from $0.99 - $8.99 for all the filters and effects.  It is super easy to use, quick at applying filters for preview and doesn’t make any changes to your original picture.
 
Here is an example of the filters and bokeh you can add with just one-click.

Do you feel uninspired when it comes to taking pictures? How about participating in daily prompts to kick-start your inspiration?  The app, Little Moments, has daily prompts available for the month (examples for a few days this month include: lunch, something red, three and pop!).

It also has editing capabilities and “stickers”, including quotes and doodles to add to your pictures.  The app is free to download with in-app purchases available ranging from $0.99 - $3.99 to unlock all the designs.

Another great app that organizes all your photos is Shoebox.

It is free for unlimited photo backup and your photos are available everywhere – you can view them on your phone, tablet or computer (in-app purchases are also available).  Another great feature of Shoebox is it will provide a little daily reminder showing you pictures that were taken on that date last year, 2 years ago, etc.  It makes for super fun memories.

You can also review timelines of photos by month and year.

Lastly, all of these pictures need to be printed out (something we are all guilty of – taking pictures and leaving them on our phones indefinitely).  I like using the Printicular app.

Printicular works with Walgreens, so you can easily upload photos to the nearest Walgreens and get 1-hour service (they also have an option to have photos mailed to you if you aren’t close to a Walgreens).  You can upload pictures from your phone and social networks, including Instagram, Facebook, Flickr, Dropbox and more.  It is a free app and you can receive 30% off of your print job with code MEAM.  Plus, you can print 4x4”, 4x6”, 8x8” and more.
