My family is having a reunion this summer and it will be the first time the Babe will meet cousins, aunts and uncles. To help her not feel like everyone is a stranger I made a book just for her.
Every family has a two page spread and every cousin has an individual photo. It's a pretty simple book and was quick to put together. Some of the pictures are poor quality, but I'll take new ones this summer. I took many photos from the computer where the resolution is 72 dpi and printed them, where the resolution is 300 dpi. But I don't care. The point is to recognize faces, and the babe LOVES the book. It's totally cute how she points at faces. To fill up the book I printed a couple other pages that I had made in the past that I thought might interest her.As I was looking through digital scrapbook pages I had made over the past two years, I realized how many pages I'd actually made. I make pages for work periodically to advertise whatever fonts we are currently promoting. Some of my layouts I do in a rush and am kind of embarrassed with the final, but many of them I like and they just sit in folders on my computer collecting digital dust. I thought I'd post some of those for rememberance sake.
This silly face layout I printed and added to the Cousin book. The Babe seeks out this page and points at each face and sticks her tongue out. It cracks me up!
Almost thou makest me a believer in digital scrapbooking. Very impressive. I assume a lot of the pieces are available from your employer...? It looks like it takes a fairly high Photoshop skill level to make it work.

The level of photoshop skill required is variable. There are a lot of aids on the market, like premade templates that you just mask your photos into and change the text in the textboxes. These that I made were pretty Photoshop intensive, I guess. I don't even think about it. It doesn't seem complicated to me anymore.
