“Thing 4 : Photo Sharing”

I love using Shutterfly for my online photo storage! Although I read this "thing" before the holidays, and did some further exploration, I am just finally getting around to blogging about it - hope it's not too late!  Since I was already familiar with Shutterfly, I decided to explore a new feature and created a collage iPhone cover for my niece as a Christmas gift.  First, I went through her Facebook photo albums to find pictures of each member of her immediately family (plus her two cats!). I copied them to my computer, uploaded them to Shutterfly, and created the phone case. It took a while and some experimenting to get the photos to all display correctly, but the end product was worth it, and she loved the gift!  I've also become better at using Shuttefly's editing features, particularly the red eye correction and crop tools.  Adding borders and captions has also proved to be an enjoyable aspect of using the site. If only I had more time to "play" on it!
