Put Your Self Portrait in a Star Wars Puzzle
Not only does Shutterfly make it easy to create fun photo books and transform your photos into canvas art pieces, but they have just announced a new lineup of puzzles entitled: Star Wars and Me, Darth Vader and Me and The Clone wars and Me. All you have to do is upload a photo of your child, boyfriend, friend, mom, husband, etc., and Shutterfly will superimpose the photo onto the Star Wars puzzle of your choice! These 125-piece puzzles are the ultimate gift for any Star Wars fan, and they only cost $35 each.
Quickly Re-Touch Photos With PicTreat
Even with their fancy features, digital cameras aren't immune from taking the odd bad picture. Now what happens when you want to fix a photo (like red eye, pimples, bad lighting) and free online photo editing sites just aren't cutting it with their basic features? Sure you could always use Photoshop if you're a master of its many tools, but what if you need to change your Facebook profile photo right away, and you don't have Photoshop?
Would You Put Your Photo on a Shower Curtain?
PhotoShowerCurtain.com will use a photo or digital image of your choice to create a custom, full-printed shower curtain for you. I can see this being cool if maybe an artsy, black and white photo were used — like the Studio 54 image used on the Izola Patrick McMullan Shower Curtain — but otherwise, it might be too kitschy for me. What do you say?

Cool Idea: Poladroid
Ever since Polaroid decided to discontinue its instant-film products, I've been trying to snatch up all of the 600 film I come across. But, that gets pricey, considering the film costs nearly a buck per development. You know how I love my Polaroids, though, so it puts me in a pickle.
DIY: Faux Bois Photo Board
I recently stumbled across this clever DIY that adds faux bois to a board reserved for treasured photos. It's a quick and simple project with lovely results.
What You'll Need
- Cardboard (any size)
- Faux bois contact paper (about 2 feet depending on the size of your frame)
- Picture frame
- Scissors or Xacto knife
Is This Pic Fit For the Photo Album?
A new trend is to stuff Baby's First Photo Album with pics of Mom and Pop embracing each other while posing near topless in blue jeans. Nothing out-of-bounds is exposed, and the point is to show off Mom's beautiful baby bump, but is Dad's chest hair (or lack thereof, in the pic below) really necessary? Is this style of photography sweet and honest, or plain ol' inappropriate?
Introducing: Unnecessary Blurring
The Internet has nothing better to do than punk with people's pics these days. No photo is off limits, nobody is sacred, and there are absolutely no boundaries. Decapitate a baby?
Casa Quickie: Displaying Treasured Photos at Your Reception
If you're looking for a more organic way to display photos at your wedding reception then steal this idea, which I found in wedding photographer Elizabeth Messina's portfolio. Just wrap a tree snugly with twine and clothespin photos to it. It would even look cuter with some custom clothespins.
Love It or Hate It? Peacock Frame
The peacock trend ($18) seems to still be in full effect, if this peacock frame from Urban Outfitters is any indication. The 3-x-5-inch fabric-covered frame may be just the thing for displaying that beloved pet portrait.
