As some know I was wanting to make a word book for my husband's nieces of photos of their grandpa (my father in law) who passed away almost a year ago.
So after some ideas from people here and some ideas from other word books I have finally completed it and I am very happy with it.
I think the biggest thing I learnt from this was to take my time and not rush it and also because all the photos were digital I laid them all out on a word document first to see which photos I would use and how they would be placed and what size to print them out. Then I pritned them on our laser colour printer to the requried sizes and put it all together.

Re: Grandpa wordbook
The rest of them. Sorry the ones at the end of the book are a bit small to view but I didn't want to put a lot of photos up here.
If you want to see one of them closer let me know and I will post it.
But anyway I hope you like my book.

Re: Grandpa wordbook
Thanks so much for showing your work- I didn't get it before....Yours is large- what size did you make it and what size did you cut it? Excellent Job!
Re: Grandpa wordbook
That is an awesome book. I'm sure they will be very happy with it. Did you use the BIA to bind it?

Re: Grandpa wordbook
Sambobit - the overall size is 11 inches long and 5 inches high. I like 5 inches for height - I can make the letters fit well and it isn't too big a book for people to handle. It was all made in SCAL also - I didn't need to use Inkscape for it and find it just as easy to make them in SCAL, however Dan99 has made a very easy tutorial for making word books in Inkscape
Molliels - no I don't have the bind it all - tempting as it might be to purchase. Over here everything like that costs so much so you have to justify needing it. I just take mine to the local stationery suppliers who have binding/laminating/printing etc and get them to wire bind it for me. It costs me about $2.
Thank you both for your kind comments.
