i've been using my most favourite app, instagram for one year now. the very first photo i took was of hannah licking a giant swirly lolly for breakfast on Easter morning 2011. coincidentally, we framed and hung our year of instagrams this Easter weekend. it's definitely a new favourite spot to gaze at in our home.
our instagrams tell our story of the past year. they capture small special moments and not necessarily a perfect picture. we can look back through these photos and remember a specific event, activity, outing or just funny moment at home. this morning, hannah and i even played i spy with the photos, remembering a silly hat she wore or a cardboard plane she flew.
i took advantage of a 20% off sale through www.posterjack.ca, thanks to a mention from tickled pink photography. i selected a 20 x 28 poster size print using one of poster jack's user friendly grid layouts. each of our posters has 35 photos. each poster was only $14 shipped - so economical that we'll be printing new posters each year! i framed them in IKEA's ODBY frames just like our gigantic family photos in our family room. we haven't much wall space in our cozy little home, so they're hung on our landing beneath the gorgeous maskros pendant which casts some delightful shadows in our stairwell.
how do you display your instagrams?

Love this idea!
I love this...but I don't see anywhere on poster Jack that has a grid layout??
Once you select your poster size and upload photos there is a grid layout option, I think I set up a poster jack account to begin with as well... Hope this helps Gina!
I did find a website for the United States people..

I'm currently getting my instagrams all ready to go. :) Thanks for the great idea! Now if only the nearest IKEA wasn't 4.5 hours away in Minneapolis for me. Haha!
Thanks so much! I got it figured out! can't wait to get a couple years worth of instagrams on the wall....ps do you live in New Brighton???
what a great idea! i did make a photo book with some of mine but that's about it :S this is really perfect I think though!
Are Instagrams of a high enough quality to print?
They look gorgeous on your wall.
Your blog is lovely too.

hey there!
i found this post on pinterest. i have followed the link to posterjack but i am confused as to how you went about making this grid poster. it would seem my options in the poster department are to make ONE photo into a poster.
if you could offer me a brief tutorial on what exactly you did to get your grid type poster i would be forever grateful. ok, maybe only grateful for like one day.
ok, one hour.
but still... VERY grateful.
thank you

Love this!
I love this! Saw your idea on alittledashofash.blogspot.com. Thanks for sharing!
Lovethis! New follower here! Just created some a little differently but the idea is perfect! I have always printed my instas individually, so the idea to print them on a grid is genius! I will post about it when I receive mine and link back to you!

Hi there - wanted to let you know this was featured on FLOR's design blog, Musings, the other day: http://www.flor.com/blog/do-you-instagram-final/
Love this!
There is also a free program called Printsgram (www.printsgram.com) that will grid your instagram photos for free, and send you a PDF file which you can print at home, or send to a print shop. The nice thing is that it imports pictures directly from instagram! I can't wait to do this with pics of my son. :)
Do all of your pictures have the same filter or do you use a variety?
