I’d say 75 turns around the sun is a pretty good excuse to make a memory book sharing the highlights from those years, wouldn’t you? Earlier this week I shared some tips and tricks for creating a photo tribute gallery for a party. This book begins with the story of that surprise party we hosted for my father in law…

…and then continues with the guest of honor’s life story.  Since the hard work of gathering and digitizing photos from throughout his life was already done, it seemed only right to commit these memories to print. From early childhood days with his siblings, to more in depth stories about important times in his life, this book has already opened my kid’s eyes to different sides of their grandpa.

The book flows through the next phases of his life, covering family time and travel, big events and the smaller moments in between. Large focal point photos and grid layouts were key design elements to maintain a sense of order with so many photos.

We wrapped it all up with a note to express our love and gratitude!
