Use Your 1st Day of School Photos

For this week’s giveaway, we’re giving away a Shutterfly Gift Credit (see bottom of post to enter). You can use the prize however you’d like, but we have 2 fun ideas to use all of the great 1st day of school photos you took.

One of my Favorite times of year on social media is Back to School. I love seeing all of the school photos parents take. It’s fun to see them all ready for school with their backpacks and smiles. It’s great to see how friend’s kids have grown and what grade they’re heading to.

As many moms do, I take a bunch of photos on the first day of school. Then, after I take them, post them and share them with family, I often don’t do anything else with them. Last year, I found an adorable magnet on Shutterfly that was perfect for a back to school photo. When I took this year’s photo, I uploaded them to Shutterfly to make an updated magnet. I was happy to see the same school pattern available. I thought it would be fun to add the magnets to the fridge over the years. They’ve grown so much from one magnet to the next!

While on the Shutterfly site I found another awesome Back to School photo project.
This allows you to customize a great print with their first day of school photo. You can add all of their school details: grade, teacher and school.
