As many of you have noticed, I haven’t scrapbooked for a bit. Honestly, it’s been almost a year since my stuff has been in boxes (yes, a lot of my crafty stuff is STILL in boxes), and I’ve been so busy with other projects I haven’t given it much thought.
With that said, we made a lot of really special memories this year, so I wanted to try a new way of quickly printing them out and throwing them into a little photo album. This week I’ve been printing out a ton of photos from my iPhone using this really cute novelty printer. It prints your iPhone photos onto Instax film. Because as much as I LOVE my Instax camera, I hardly ever think to carry it around, especially during travel. I actually really only use it during nighttime parties (party pix vibes!)
It was really fun and REALLY easy to put together in one afternoon. However, I will say that the quality is not NEARLY as good as what I’m used to (with our Canon printers). I think it’s OK since this is a novelty printer, and I have my photos saved/printed other places. It’s basically just like an instant photo, imperfect in sort of a cool/artsy way.
Oh! And I had some extra film, so I just kept printing more and more fun/random photos and displayed them in this little basket in my living room. Feels REALLY GOOD to be filling out our home with memories and personal details.
Have a great Sunday my friends! xx- Elsie

Oh thank you for sharing this! I never know what to do with the our instax photos they normally just end up in a stack on our bookshelf.
That is such a cool idea! http://www.hannamarielei.com

I love polaroids so much! I’ve been meaning to get that polaroid printer for a while. 🙂

Wow, that sounds like an awesome idea!
This is cute! But I think I’m also more obsessed with the quality of photos I get from my Canon camera so I probably won’t end up doing this. They should make a mini Canon printer! Wait, maybe they have those.
This is such a cute idea! As great as it is to share smartphone photos on Instagram, it’s also so satisfying to have a private, physical collection of personal pictures to share at home. 🙂
What a great idea! I’m gonna have to get myself a polaroid printer and photo album! Thanks for sharing, Elsie! 🙂
I need everything in this post, really EVERYTHING!!
Love your blog, call me your biggest fan!
I hard this printer! It can be so addicting to keep printing more photos just because it’s so easy and fun to watch them print out! A little photo album is a great idea 🙂 So cute for a coffee table.
I’ve always wanted one of those cool pinters, and the results look amazing!

That’s awesome! I had an instax but it fell on the ground and broke! 🙁
I was pretty sad and didn’t plan to buy a new one so soon. But this I think this is even better. When I am travelling or just hanging out with some friends I usually bring my instax AND my DSLR and it was too much cameras to care about.
This would solve this problem 🙂

That polaroid printer is such a good invention. Nice to be able to print all you memories on the go. I only think it’s a bit expensive!
LOVE this! I’ve had my instax for 5 years and hardly ever use it these days due to the multiple cameras I try to use on a weekly basis! I might have to look into this handy little printer 🙂
Hi! Lisie 🙂 , I really loved this post, I’ve been thinking about to buy this printer for a while, and now you made easier my dessision (I think so jaja). So thanks for share. Just one thing, could you show How it works? like a little review as you did with your record on snapchat? I’ll really appreciate it (I guess everyone here).
xoxo.
This is sooo cute!

Hey Guys out there, I also have an instax camera and I was wondering where to find an instax album? Also can anyone tell me how many pics can fit in it?
