Christmas Card Photos As Phone Contacts

A quick and fun idea for you today! I saw this on Pinterest; it originally hails from the blog Under The Sycamore.

When I took down the photo Christmas cards we received this year, I used my cell phone to take a quick picture of friends and family, then assigned the photo to their contact.

So easy! Even for those of us who are not so techy.
Take a photo of the photo. 🙂 
If you have an iPhone you have to hold it the long way when you take the photo or the contact picture will be sideways.
Whether your phone is an iPhone or not, if it has the ability to take pictures, it would most likely give you the option to assign pictures to contacts.
Choose the contact to assign the picture to.
 
And voila….when your phone rings you get a shot of some happy smiling faces!

When I showed my 14 year old that I did this, he said,

“Wow Mom, is that what you do all day???”

Mmmmmhmmmm. Sweet. What was that little nugget on my 2013 resolutions list?
Don’t let adolescent angst bring me down.
Right right right.

FYI, Sassafrass, I took about 20 pictures in the span of two minutes when I took the Christmas cards down, and later on, when I was waiting to pick you up from school, I assigned the photos to contacts in about 5 minutes.

And now I have little cuties smiling at me when my phone rings!

Some fun changes coming this way soon! Can’t wait to show you.

Hope your day is productive and GOOD!

xo,

    I love this idea. Thanks for the quick tutorial too. I often have to ask my 10 year old how to work my i-phone. Love that resolution too. I need to add that one to my list.

    I'll have to file this one away for next year. Is it horrible that I already got rid of this years cards?!

    myself on the 25th
    of every month
    this year to do
    something related
    to Christmas {file
    recipes, look through
    books & mags, pinterest,
    etc.} and on Jan. 25

    LOL about your 14 year old son, those words could have come out of my 16 year old sons mouth word for word!!
