Today I have a Father's Day gift idea for you--a personalized DAD album. It's a perfect way to show love to the Dad in your life. :)
It was fun to create these pages in Photoshop as part of a class I taught at a digital scrapbooking retreat awhile back---see, I told you I LOVE digital scrapbooking! :) I made the letter page templates then added digital papers and embellishments along with photos of my kids and our family. Then I printed them off at Costco, cut each page out, and adhered to that thin cardboard paper that you get for free when you print 12x18 at Costco!! You could always use cardstock or chipboard too. I punched 2 holes on the side and tied cute coordinating ribbon to create the DAD album. It was a wonderful gift for Father's Day!
Here is what each page looks like (in digital form):
I wanted to share the basic letter templates with you! If you have Photoshop or another photo editing program that allows you to work with layers, you can create your own Dad album too, adding your own digital papers and elements and photos and journaling. Simple instructions are included in the download. Even if you are a paper scrapbooker, you can still use these basic templates--just print out the templates and cut your papers! {This makes approx. 5.5 by 11.5 inch album.}
Here is the link to download the template files: DAD Album Template
Please do not distribute or sell. Thank you!!
And because I'm so happy that it's finally SUMMER, I want to add a little somethin' extra!! :) Leave a comment on this post and at the end of the week I will choose 5 lucky readers to receive the Quick Page version of this album---the design is all done, you just have to add your photos and journaling!
Have a lovely day!! Love you all! :)
