AN ILLUSTRATIVE THINGS LOVED STORY
 

The letters that brought them  together

Every Friday, Rose listened for the mailman.

Tom’s letters arrived in thin envelopes, sometimes creased at the corners. She opened them carefully with a kitchen knife and read them standing up. Then she sat down and read them again.

Words, photos, and a familiar voice. All in one story.

A few things you may be wondering

Our small Story Label connects your keepsake or photo print to an online story you create using your words, photos, and audio recording, then scan the Story Label with a phone's camera to revisit the memories.

A Keepsake Story gives you a Story Label to attach to something you already treasure, such as a memory box, family heirloom, or framed photograph. A Photo Story Print turns your digital photo into a new physical print with a Story Label integrated at the bottom. Both connect to your personal story.

Our online template helps you create a beautiful story. Begin with a few words or a favorite memory—you don’t have to tell the whole story at once. You can edit and add to it over time.

Simply record the story using your phone.

Answer these three questions:
 

  • What is it? (e.g., "This is my dad's 1952 silver watch.")
     
  • Where did it come from, or what moment does it capture? (e.g., "He wore this every day while running his repair shop in Boston.")
     
  • Why does it matter to you today? (e.g., "Whenever I hold it, I remember how hard he worked to send us to college.")

No app or login is needed to view a story. Simply scan the Story Label with a smartphone camera to open to discover why the object is important.

No problem at all. Create your story once, and simply order extra labels whenever you need them—each one automatically links back to that same story. That’s exactly why we’ve made additional labels so affordable.

Each label opens the same story. Use them on other objects that share that story, place more than one in different spots on an object so its story can still be found if a label is lost or damaged, or keep extras as replacements.

Your published story is hosted separately from our main website as part of a free service offered by two well-known international companies - Cloudflare & GitHub. If our website becomes unavailable, your Story Label will still link to your story, so you and your family can continue viewing it.
