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.

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.

Very nice. Love the layout of the book and it looks pretty big.

What a nice job! TFS

That is an awesome book! Great Job!

You did a lovely job! Your nieces are sure to love the book. What a great way to tribute their grandfather.

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!

That is an awesome book. I'm sure they will be very happy with it. Did you use the BIA to bind it?

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.
