Over the years I’ve shared many family yearbook posts here on the blog and it’s time to reveal my latest album! It looks a little different than prior years because I tried a fabric cover- I wanted something fancier to display on our living room table. It’s a 10×10 photo book from Printique (my favorite)...
KatMcYou are inspiring but also tool giving. I can’t wait to start seeing finished projects.
Also did you buy two 2020 books one with the fabric and one with the photo wrap?
I like both but may lean toward photo wrap and the larger family photo on the cover.
missfreddyYes, I did actually print a photo wrap cover that matches all our previous years and THEN a fabric one to test it out! I love the look of the fabric one but I also love our photo wraps. The kids seem more drawn to the photo wrap cover.
LisaIt’s so interesting to see how covid lockdowns and school openings are managed differently by state, thanks for sharing your story! Your book is gorgeous, and the Christmas photos of your kiddos are adorable.
KatieI would love to see the pages of your kids picture school along with their own hand writing. I love this idea! And the year In review
LeeAnneI have 2 kids and often wonder if I should get 2 copies of a family yearbook, for them each to have one some day. What are your thoughts on that?
I’m slowly making my way through your course and consolidating all of our photos from different digital sources. Your course is so I easy to follow and keeps me on track-thank you!
missfreddyNo I don’t personally make extra copies for the kids. I’m not sure they’ll want them and it’s a lot of $$ plus storage space. But an idea would be to create softcover copies for the kids. I wrote this blog post with suggestions on that: https://missfreddy.com/professional-photo-organizer/where-should-you-print-your-softcover-photo-book/
GlennaHi.
Regarding those screenshots-do they fit easily or do you have to re-size on another app or software?
missfreddyI don’t usually resize them, no. When I use AlbumStomp to design my pages sometimes it gives an error that the file is too small so I’ll shift it into a smaller section in the collage until the error goes away.
MoniqueBeautiful and inspiring! I’ve been wanting to make a book for my mom. The problem is that what I can afford to do for her (cover, lay-flat, size) is not something my siblings can do for themselves, yet they want to purchase a copy of the book I create for Mom. It makes complete sense, but I don’t have an answer (so have procrastinated the project). Do you know of a company where I can create the book, and family members can purchase less expensive versions?
missfreddyIf you use the AlbumStomp program (the one I use) to design the book, you can upload the pages to print anywhere. So you could purchase a fancier copy for yourself. Then upload the pages somewhere else where books are less expensive for your siblings to purchase- like Chatbooks or Shutterfly. You could even do a softcover to save more money as well.
SarahYour book was 74 pages; do you know how many total photos/images you included? And is 74 pages pretty typical for you and your yearbooks? Thank you!
HillaryThanks for sharing this! I love to see how you incorporate things like google calendar screenshots to compliment the other memories. Such a beautiful book!
