Eric Carle Can Illustrate YOUR Photo Book!

Written by Janice

Photo books and personalized photo products just keep getting better!

Kodak Gallery has recently launched an exclusive line of photo books and cards featuring the illustrations of the iconic children’s author, Eric Carle.

Now, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Brown Bear, The Very Lonely Firefly and more, can become part of your children’s own stories, illustrating your personalized Kodak Gallery photo books and cards.

Uploading and creating your Kodak Gallery products is simple and fast. I used to scrapbook - but since blogging took over my life, I no longer have time! So for me, photo books are the perfect solution.

It is so exciting when I see new options like these incredibly gorgeous Eric Carle products. Imagine my kids’ photos alongside The Very Hungry Caterpillar. That is too cool.

If you want to win $50.00 to spend creating your own Eric Carle photo books and cards masterpieces, just leave a comment at this post.

We will have two winners, each receiving $50.00 Kodak Gallery gift cards - so check back October 18th to see if you are one of our two winners. This contest is open to US and Canadian residents.
