It’s easy, inexpensive, and fun to make your own photo greeting cards.

You can use a photo card to celebrate your favorite team’s big win–or simply to thrill a fellow sports fan.

Consider one of these "unofficial" occasions:

• Starting a new job
• Buying a new home
• Welcoming a pet to the family
• Sympathizing for a hard week
• Celebrating an especially great week

Visit the HP Creative Studio where you’ll find dozens of free card templates. Just upload your picture, write a customized message, and print the cards right at home. Or choose from a variety of photo card templates at Snapfish.

The HP Creative Studio has a wide selection of custom photo calendars ready for your creative touch.

Custom photo calendars are personal, practical gifts that recipients can enjoy all year! But how do you fill up all those months in a meaningful way? Here are a few inspirational ideas to get you started:

• If you've got a newborn in the family, show off each month of baby’s first year.
• Highlight your most memorable moments from the previous year, such as the holidays, summer vacation, or the recipient's birthday.
• Try something more abstract, like fine-art photos of leaves for fall or snow-laden trees for winter. A serene photo has the power to transport the viewer and may offer a welcome escape from the everyday.

A Digital Photo Frame you preload with a photo slideshow is like giving two-gifts-in-one.

Photo slideshows are a fun and convenient way to share your photos with family and friends. There are several ways you can set up and enjoy them:

• You can create a simple slideshow with free Windows Live Photo Gallery software.
• Enjoy slideshows on a Digital Photo Frame. The photo frame itself makes a great photo gift! Learn more about uploading photos and slideshows to a Digital Photo Frame.
