Introducing foto books

Now you can create beautiful foto books with ease – all the way from beginning to end – with foto depot!

Affordable and easy-to-make, foto books offer the perfect solution for your digital photos. Instead of hiding your memories, why not create your very own customized hardcover book to share with family and friends? foto books make the perfect gift or keepsake and are a wonderful way to preserve life’s special moments.

foto depot’s new online service makes creating a foto book fast and simple. It takes just a fraction of the time that it would take to create a scrapbook, plus you’ll never again have to destroy another photo or create a mess. Using digital photos, building a page will only take minutes. So imagine how quickly you can create an entire book of memories.

To get started, all you need is a computer, some digital photos and a connection to the Internet. All the required instructions can be found online at www.fotodepot.ca. Next, choose a theme such as a special birthday, a family vacation, graduation or wedding. This will make it easier for you to get organized. If all of the photos you wish to use aren’t digital, you can scan in the additional ones. For the cover, choose from linen, faux suede or genuine leather in a variety of colours.

Your foto book can have up to 48 pages. Each page can have a different layout showing between one and nine photos (that means you can put over 400 photos in one book!). foto depot makes it even easier by automatically choosing layouts for you, based on the photos that you first select. Then you can make any changes that you wish. It’s as easy as dragging and dropping your photos where you want them. This is a great feature that truly makes it simple.

Once you’ve created your pages, all that’s left is having it printed, and that doesn’t take long – usually a week or two. You have the choice of picking it up at your local foto source store or having it delivered to your home.

Today’s state-of-the-art digital printing makes this all possible. Each page is printed onto high quality gloss paper and is hardbound. The result is a professional-looking coffee table book that can be cherished and appreciated for generations to come.

This month we travel to Montreal

November 23rd marks the date of the 2008 Grey Cup which will be held at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal, Quebec.

Rated as one of the top 25 destinations in Canada by Travellers’ Choice, Montreal is known for its cultural diversity and “joie de vivre”. With a population of approximately two million people, there is an abundance of restaurants, shopping districts, neighbourhoods and nightlife.

It has one of the best public transit systems in the country. Montreal offers a large underground city that stretches over 30 km so you never have to venture outside should the weather be bad. It connects the downtown train and subway stations with the main entertainment and commercial centres.

This city also has a rich sports tradition, starting with the Montreal Canadiens, who are turning 100 this year and have won 24 Stanley Cups. Football is also a favourite with the Montreal Alouettes playing in front of sold-out crowds.

There is a feeling of excitement as the city is getting ready for the 2008 Grey Cup. This is the eighth time that Montreal has hosted a Grey Cup. The Grey Cup started in 1909 when Earl Grey, the Governor General of Canada, donated a trophy for the Rugby Football Championship of Canada. This trophy became known as the Grey Cup. Originally, this event was only open to teams that were registered with the Canadian Rugby Union, but since 1954 was open to only the teams of the CFL.
