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.
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!
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?
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!
@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!
