Personalization Ideas For Your Keepsakes

One of the things we're really passionate about at Blue Sky Papers is the ability to not only offer personal and customizable designs in our guest books and albums, but to also offer personalization to help our customers really make their books unique.

We've collected a few of our favorite personalization ideas to help inspire your next guest book or album project!

"Once in a while, in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale."

Why We Love It: Our artisan book is so versatile, and the wording this customer chose could apply to weddings, anniversaries, or even a growing family!

What Could This Be Used For: Our artisan albums are made to hold three dimensional items. They lay flat, and have gorgeous water color paper inside. This book would work wonderfully as an interactive wedding guest book (with photos or art work of guests), a newlywed scrapbook, or an engagement photo book.

How to Order: Our Artisan Album pictured in the above photo. The book shown here is covered in teal satin and bound with a coral bow. For the personalization, this customer chose our script font with silver embossing.

"You are seen, just wait."

Why We Love It: These words are so encouraging! We love that this sketchbook's wording promotes patience, hope, and appreciating the value of life.

What Could This Be Used For: This would make a great graduation gift or baptism gift!

How to Order: The book pictured is our Leather Rustic Sketchbook.

"Memories of...."

Why We Love It: The old world feel of these Italian leather journals evokes a certain nostalgia. The personalization wording of this set of journals definitely peaks our curiosity!

What Could This Be Used For: We love the idea of using these journals and this type of personalization to record your memoirs. This would make a great gift for journalists or creative writers!

How to Order: The books pictured are our Italian Leather Bound Journals. For personalization, this customer chose 2 lines of gold script positioned optical center.

"The two shall become one"

Why We Love It: These words are such a sweet sentiment to the significance of marriage. These words are also a reflection of the vows shared between two people on their wedding day.

What Could This Be Used For: This customer ordered personalization wording for a photo album. We can definitely see this album not only housing photos from the couple's wedding day, but photos from their first few years of marriage.

How to Order: The album pictured is our classic archival photo album. The customer chose our 12x12 white leather with one line of serif personalization, optical center, in gold.

"We keep this love in a photograph. We made these memories for ourselves."

Why We Love It: This customer chose song lyrics by Ed Sheeran that had significant meaning to them. We love that the words chosen reflect the fact that this book will be used as a photo album!

What Could this be used for: We like the idea of using words like this for a wedding album, anniversary album, or family member! Another idea is to use favorite song lyrics that remind you of a specific moment of your life, such as your high school or college years.

How to Order: This was another classic archival album, but in black leather with three lines of script personalization in gray.

"We remember"

Why We Love It: We are so honored to be trusted by our amazing customers with their memorial and funeral keepsake books, and we never fail to be blown away when a customer chooses a less traditional route to remember a loved one. We love that they took our sweet and delicate velvet ribbon and silk bow book and added the simple and sophisticated wording of "we remember."

What Could This Could Be Used For: These sweet words can help inspire stories about loved ones, favorite past times, and milestones long gone. This book can be used as a guest book or album.

How to Order: The album pictured is our velvet ribbon and silk flower custom book. One line of personalization is included.
