Sentimental Magnetism.

I have been a huge fan of Print Studio (formerly known as Printstagram) for several years now. I am constantly snapping photos on my iPhone and love being able to quickly order and print images through Print Studio's app and website. They offer a variety of high-quality products at honest prices and their customer service can't be beat. I have ordered several sets of square prints (at only $12 for 24 prints how can you resist?) and also love their photo strips. The photobooks and greeting cards are equally amazing and make great gifts for friends and family. 

It was only a matter of time before Print Studio's magnets made it onto my refrigerator. I opted for the 2" square size (they also come in a 1" round size) and personalized two sets for a total of 20 magnets. Ordering was a breeze online- within a matter of minutes I had signed onto my Instagram account through Print Studio's website and selected my favorite images to print. I was so impressed when my stack of magnets arrived in the mail several days later. The color and clarity of the prints are fantastic and the magnets have a nice weight to them. 

Naturally, I used my new magnets to hold up some of my favorite square prints, mini-square prints, and photo strips on my fridge. In my opinion, refrigerators should always be covered in photos.

Bringing Instagram to life + a giveaway from Printstagram.

Over the past few years, Instagram has become one of my favorite ways to share moments with my friends and family around the world. I love always having my iPhone with me to capture all of the little (and big) things that bring joy and excitement to my life. But the danger with using social media and your phone as your main photo source is that your  amazing photos are less likely to get printed. That's where Printstagram comes in. 

Printstagram, part of Social Print Studio, started printing Instagrams in 2011 and has grown into a phenomenal company. What I appreciate about Social Print Studio is that it remains an independent company, free of outside investors. They are authentic, responsive to their customers (their customer service is phenomenal), and able to produce a variety of amazing products. I recently ordered a photobook capturing some of my favorite shots from our New York City. The photobooks are offered in several sizes and layouts. I chose the largest photobook in the classic layout. This style includes 38 photos with optional captions. After selecting your product and signing into your Instagram account, selecting photos for your book is a breeze. 

After your photos are selected, you are able to choose your nine cover images, arrange the order of your photos, and add dates taken, hashtags, and captions. I opted to not include captions and let the photos do the talking. 

I absolutely love how my photobook turned out and can't wait to order more soon! They are the perfect way to capture travels, summer adventures, and family gatherings. Printstagram is offering one lucky New York State of Mind reader a gift code for a photobook of his or her own! Please follow the directions in the Rafflecopter giveaway below for your chance to win. One winner will be selected on Friday, June 13th.

For the lovers of snail mail...

I am a lover of snail mail. I have acquired a large collection of stationary and stickers and typically send cards for every holiday they are made for. Case in point, my Thanksgiving cards and matching stickers are ready and waiting on my desk as I type.

I also am a lover of Instagram. So, I was ecstatic when I found out that Social Print Studio was offering personalized greeting cards using Instagram images. I immediately went to their website and started picking out photos from my Instagram feed to put on my very own personalized set of cards. The cards are offered in three sizes (4x4, 4x6, and 5x7) and are printed on high-quality white cardstock. I opted for the 5x7 size to have lots of room to write messages on the inside. It was a lot of fun to look through the thousands of Instagram photos I have posted over the past few years and select the ones I thought were notecard worthy. I chose a lot of images from my travels in Africa in 2012 and some of my favorite shots from around New York City.

The cards arrived at my home a few days after I placed my order and were just as amazing as I thought they would be! I have always been happy with the quality of Prinstagram's prints and their greeting cards are just as lovely. The colors and clarity of the images are spot on and look wonderful against the white color of the cardstock.

What makes sending a Prinstagram greeting card even more special? Including a mini-square print or two for your loved ones! I included a shot from last summer in my note to my grandma with an extra little message written on the back.

I love my set of greeting cards so much it is hard to part with them, but I know that the personalized touch will mean even more to my family and friends that I send them to. I am excited to create more cards to give as gifts this Christmas- at only $25 a set they are the perfect gift!
