Thank you so much for this! My kids will love doing this and with money tight I really appreciate that it's free.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful, but is there ANY way you could make an alternate "Grampa" cover too? I'd love for my kids to make one for their grandfathers. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteI love this idea!! Thanks for the downloads.
ReplyDeleteI love the book! Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! My daughter will love filling this out and giving it to daddy. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI L.O.V.E. this book! Thank you for sharing. I have a question, when I push the arrow on the bottom of each page, and download it-it prints out HUGE! Like it takes up the entire 8.5 x 11 paper! Is there something I am missing in order to make it print smaller-to fit the 4 x 6 photo book? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you! This is soo cute!!
ReplyDeleteLove this! Added it (like many of your darling things) to my business page.

ReplyDeleteThis is awesome. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteMy boys made this for Father's Day and he LOVED it!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Just wanted to say thank you for this awesome printable! My boys loved filling this out and my husband loved receiving it. I posted a few shots of how it turned out on my blog. (http://mightycrafty.blogspot.com/2012/07/june-2012-crafty-round-up.html) Thank you again!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea -- I love this --thanks
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! I want to make one for my dad, even though I'm nearly 30. Thanks for sharing! I have linked up this project on my blog today: http://hotcommodityhome.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThis is really cute, just found it on on Pintrest. Are you thinking of reposting it for 2013? If so could you add a few blank pages? Or some with titles like, Dad at Work. Dad at Play. Fun with Dad. Family Time. Just some ideas.
ReplyDeleteAwesome Idea, I'm printing NOW!!! =)
ReplyDeleteTo Everyone asking about how to print as a 4x6 from home, just change the size of the paper from your printer options set to 4x6, 10x15cm.
Thanks for sharing this cute printable! I love it. Would you mind sharing the font with me? I am going to make a few more pages to add to our book and would like them to match but I'm not sure what font you used? Thanks!
ReplyDeletewonderful! Very cute!! And super easy, love it!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing! I scooped your post on
ReplyDeleteCrafty Crafts
and Pinned it here Crafty Crafts
Love this! I noticed that the self portrait page titled "Me and my Dad" is missing.
ReplyDeleteIs there any way you could post this?
I'm a budding wannabe crafty mom and feel stupid for posting this, but I don't understand the cutting out if the pages of the photo album and then stapling them together. Does that, then, become the book? Why not just use the photo book as is?
ReplyDeleteThank you!!
Thanks for this! Shared it with my followers on my facebook page www.facebook.com/1Corinthians13Parenting
ReplyDelete~Lori
a very original idea for children to give Dad
ReplyDeleteThe Pages that you're supposed to click an arrow on... they're not showing up. I've tried on several different days and they never load. Ugh, really LOVE this and want to print it. Help!
ReplyDeletemaybe its just me but the templates do not show up at all? is there a reason or something I can do?
ReplyDeleteHi Ashley... not sure why it's doing that. I went and added a link to all of the downloads below each page. Hope that helps.
ReplyDeleteTo the question about using the photo book as is: I haven't made this yet (plan to this weekend with the kids) but I am guessing the original maker wanted the cover she made to be the book cover as shown above. I would think you could use the photo book as is if you wished!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this great project! I will definitley have my kids make this for their dad. :)
ReplyDeleteLove it! Your card was featured in our Father's Day Round-up today!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this! I just printed it and am so excited to put it together and let the kids go to town on the pages! I appreciate you sharing this fun and personal gift with the world! : )
ReplyDeleteThank you, it's lovely! Shared with the moms at www.facebook.com/modernmama today <3 We'll be making this too (my 4, 7 and 9yo's)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! Very nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for this! Planning on putting it together for Father's Day over the next couple days. So appreciate your sharing it!!!
ReplyDeleteHello! This is adorable! I am having the same issues as others where the image is printing the full paper size instead of 4x6. Any suggestion on how to get it to print would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
ReplyDeletejenniferlroser@gmail.com
Thanks! Printing tip: I changed my settings to print at 100% scale instead of the 179% that came up on my print screen and it printed it 4 x 6 size.
ReplyDeleteAnother Tip: when I go to print it gives the option of 8x10 or 4x6 and so on. This turned out perfect. Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for these downloads! Love the grandpa ones too!
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to thank you for this wonderful printable book. I was my husband's favorite gift (a tear may have been shed)! I blogged about it and linked back! Thanks again!!
