SCRAPBOOKING
I have been working my Canon printer/scanner overtime lately.
My Irish bride and I have been putting together scrapbooks/photo albums for our grandchildren as a high school graduation present. We take them on a journey from cradle to graduation using pictures and copies of documents, artworks and anything embarrasing we can find. It has been a rewarding and emotional experience for us and everyone absolutely loves it.
We didn’t start until the third grandchild so we missed the two oldest. Now we’re playing catch-up and making albums for Pat and Vicki.
We spend a lot of time putting them together and to give you an idea of what they look like, these are the first two pages for our oldest, Patrick. On the first page, for instance, the footsteps are Pat’s actual footprints taken from his birth certificate that I photoshopped.

Nice work. Trying to get my HP PSC working it won’t scan. So I emailed the tech department. Grrr….. I hate being outwitted by a machine.
Good looking stuff. I hope they all appreciate the hard work you are doing.
Very cool! Wish my grandparents (or parents even) had done something like that for us when we were kids. What an awesome keepsake!
