In addition to what Lawrence correctly suggests, you can upload the photos from your phone to your computer directly and store them on your computers hard drive. Or you could use a backup service, such as Dropbox or Carbonite or even Amazon Photo if you're a Prime customer and then delete them from your phone. But they will no longer be in iCloud. They'd just be in an actual archive of your choosing.
