Default hybrid blocks

I am making some hybrid photo blocks (2x2 wood blocks) for my granddaughters birthday part. The only thing I am putting on it card stock/photos printed on cardstock. I wa planning on using mod podge as a sealer. Ive used it in the past. Once her birthday is over the blocks are hers as a sort of photo album/building block. Will Mod Podge seal well enough for this? Is there something else which would work better and there are so many types of mod podge which would be best for a project like this. I think right now all I have is the matte finish.Any help is greatly appreciated!! Oh the blocks will be flat no embellishments added if that helps

if you are just printing from home on an ink-jet printer... the mod podge will smear the ink unless you spay a sealer on it before you mod podge it

Im sending to Persnickety Prints to print. Will I still need a spray sealer? Also is the matte finish good for that or would another type look better?
