Boys At Play is Here! by olivetreeann

Boys At Play is Here!

I'm so excited! The book I designed for my grandsons is finally here! And they came out so nicely. So here they are bordered by some of the pictures that are in the book. Top Row: Isaac, Boys at the Barn, Boys in the Sand, Boys in the Back Hoe. Bottom Row: Round and Round, Boys at the Waterfall, Boys on the Road, and Sam. On the Cover: Boys with Toys. Tomorrow I'll wrap the books up and send them on their way.
Great collage

I am sure they will love looking through those pages, recognizing the faces. So much fun.

They are going to love that book! Great photos.

I do love your processing, Ann ....the ones that look like "water color" or paintings are so inspirational. I'm wondering if you could use this technique for children's books. You're so talented! Of course, I love ALL of the photos ... the boys are going to love these books so much as they get older and it will become a treasure for each of them. Good for you ... this is a true accomplishment.

Thank you Kerri, Maggie, Rick, Diane and Karenann! I have to say, the books look amazing! Like I was really published! This style that I've stumbled on in BeFunky really works so well for this kind of shot- colorful and childlike. And of course merging two shots together on iPiccy makes it appear that the boys really did appear is all these places. Thank you all so much for your enthusiasm!

What a lovely thing to do, Ann. I love making photo books, but I haven't done one since starting 365!

What a wonderful thing to do! I have so many pictures but have yet to do a photo book. I really should.

Ann, this is fabulous! Your grandsons will treasure these books forever. What a special gift.

What a gorgeous idea and a beautiful collage of the book. They will treasure them.

This is great!! I used to do these for my daughter in the past but it takes up so much of my time. Like I have about 5 different projects lined up currently. Need to get going :-) I really like the photos you chose. What co. did you use?

Nicely done.

Thank you Lyn, Nada, Lisa, Damon, Brian, Jennifer, Caroloe, Donald and Henri! I am very excited about this gift and hope it will become a family treasure for them- or at least their parents!! lol Anyway, thank you all for the compliments and kind words- they mean so much!

@cimes1 I used Snapfish this time because they had a buy 1 get 2 free offer. It was perfect because this way I got to keep a copy for myself as well!

@daisy Thank you Kathryn!

That is so lovely, they will love their surprises when they receive them in the mail.

@olivetreeann Thanks! That's who I used in the past and they always came out well. I started one on Shutterfly recently and find it difficult to navigate their site. I did do calendars for some Christmas gifts with Shutterfly and they turned out great, but the photo book is another story. May switch over to Snapfish with the one I am currently attempting with SF.

@nicolecampbell Thank you Nicole! Betsy and Christopher say that Isaac is really loving pictures of himself lately, so this will definitely be a hit in that household!

@cimes1 Anytime! I haven't used any other site yet. The deals on Snapfish just keep me going back there!

That's so great that the book is done! This is a nice shot! I love all the different activities and shots of them. Well done, Ann!

@prttblues Thanks Bev! They are just a joy to have- I wish I could be there to see their faces when they see it for the first time!
