<p>One of our French customers recently sent in photos of their latest purchase from Bags of Love &#8211; personalised photo wallpaper borders!  We think her photos from trips abroad turned into office decoration is beautiful and imaginative.  Just look at what a beautiful addition it makes to the room!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="photo wallpaper" href="http://www.bagsoflove.co.uk/interiors/photos-on-wallpaper.aspx"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18481" title="personalised photo montage wallpaper" src="http://www.bagsoflove.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/bloger.jpg" alt="custom wallpaper boarder " width="600" height="399" /></a></p>
<p>Each image is beautifully reproduced onto the paper &#8211; displaying the subtle details, patterns, and colour of each individual shot.  The wallpaper is custom printed in the UK and sent in strips, which can then be spliced together to fit any size or shape of room! While this customer choose to spruce up their office, custom wallpaper borders are fantastic for kids&#8217; rooms and nurseries. We also offer <a title="personalised photo wallpaper" href="http://www.bagsoflove.co.uk/interiors/photos-on-wallpaper.aspx" target="_blank">full photo wallpaper</a> &#8211; custom printed in London too!</p>

<p><a href="http://www.bagsoflove.co.uk/books/personalised-photo-journals.aspx"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-17347" title="Personalised Photo Diaries" src="http://www.bagsoflove.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/design2.jpg" alt="Personalised photo journal" width="640" height="425" /></a></p>
<p>This week&#8217;s winner is one of our bloggers, <a href="http://www.victoriadiaries.co.uk/2012/08/bags-of-love-journal.html#" target="_blank">Victoria Diaries</a>.  After being contacted by our team to collaborate on a review for one of our products, Victoria chose our personalised photo journals.  We are stunned with her final design!  After sourcing the images from her Tumblr account, she designed the journal&#8217;s front and back covers using our online design system.  Isn&#8217;t the result amazing?!?</p>
<p>We are very happy to hear Victoria will be using her new unique journal to write down her thoughts, dreams, and drawings.  We think that her design truly reflects her personality and taste.  What more could you want from a personalised photo journal?</p>
<p><a title="personalised photo journals" href="http://www.bagsoflove.co.uk/books/personalised-photo-journals.aspx"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-17348" title="custom made journal" src="http://www.bagsoflove.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/design.jpg" alt="personalised photo journal" width="640" height="425" /></a></p>
<p>If you are interested in designing your own photo journal, simply <a href="http://www.bagsoflove.co.uk/books/personalised-photo-journals.aspx" target="_blank">visit our website </a>to try out your ideas! Each journal is handmade in our London studio.  That means it is hand bound and integrates your design into the journal, rather than simply printing onto the cover.   Get creative!

<p>Schelly, from the USA, made her own <a href="http://www.bagsoflove.co.uk/products/passport-cover.aspx" target="_blank">passport cover</a> by taking a picture of her favourite <a href="http://home.emiliopucci.com/" target="_blank">Emilio Pucci</a> skirt.  The lovely purple swirl design is a signature Pucci pattern.  By using clothing she already owned, she was able to create a passport cover that truly captures her taste and style.  To make your own, simply upload photo of your favourite patterns to our online design program and create a unique style of personalised passport cover.</p>
