Dad's idea of a birthday photo album Help!?
My father turned 60 years and we hold a birthday party HUGE surprise on Sat All his friends and family there and told them not to bring gifts. I had the idea to create an album with photos him with friends and family. I was to create an index on the front where people can see your name and go to the page where your photos and write a message on your photo. I never made an album before and the first two pages I'm out HORRIBLE. So I bought a book of drawing paper and pasted him and put photos Scapbook atop this beauty. This also seems in bad taste and wrong. Now I have only 3 days so I thought to you a classic photo album and put a finger on his forehead. Then put photos on it and put all the blank pages after each page so that everyone can sign. Is this a good idea or bad? Does anyone have any suggestions?
It's a good idea, but you need to decorate the pages. Not that actually draw I mean colored fabrics cut and paste pictures from magazines and it is interesting to see photos of your family.
