I like to try and do fun things with his photos for holidays, in the past I have taken some of his photos and made him a calendar for him to hang up near his desk at work.
For Father’s Day this year, I decided to make him a Photobook from Mixbook.com. I didn’t have the time to make a full fledged scrapbook from scratch – and digital scrapbooking is definitely the next best thing! Especially when you have a website that does almost all the work for you! 😉
When he was at work, I logged into my Mixbook account and uploaded his vacation photos in to my account so that I could make the book without him knowing about it. I took photos from his trips to Seattle, Las Vegas, Delaware and New York City to see the Knicks. I tried to include a variety of photos, though some of the trips he did not take many pictures.
I used MixBook’s Father’s Day themed book and was able to add in the pictures and modify the pages to work with what I was trying to accomplish. I created a nice 21 paged 8 x 6 digital scrapbook for him, in essentially no time! Mixbook had a TON of themed books to choose from, each book having several different types of layouts and “stickers” that you could add to each page. I am such a sucker for stickers, I loved that they had this feature for their digital scrapbooks!
I ordered the book on May 23rd and it arrived by May 28th! I was incredibly impressed with the shipping time and the book looks AWESOME. Fortunately, my Dad doesn’t read my blog (at least, not that I know of!) so I have been able to post a few photos of the pages without completely ruining the surprise for him.
