I tried to think of something to do for Father's Day, I realize guys get sort of sick of the same old tie packages, altho I must admit I have yet to get hubby a tie for Father's Day. ;) LOL
Well I thought its been a while since he got some updated pictures at his office so I thought to make some collages for him to hang there and this is what I came up with.
I used a free scrapbook collection called boy to man, I liked the colors in it and that's why I used it. Found some scrapbooking texts relating to daddies so I used that and snapped a photo of hubby and our 3 kids this weekend. The individual pictures of the kids I've posted before I believe, I took those May 1st, those were actually for my SIL for her birthday but they turned out pretty well so I've used them for others too, my SIL just got them first. LOL
Something different than the typical collages I've done, I thought they looked neat, probably a lot thanks to the scrapbooking collection too (can't remember the author/creator of those at the moment). ;)

Thanks I hope he will too.
:) Just a quick snapshot but hey it works. And I didn't even have to tell the kids to pose this time - they do pretty well on their own sometimes. ;)

Thanks, I hope he will. Now I know it will make his day complete if I find that darn wine he's been hunting the past month, all stores around here stopped carrying it. A sign to stop drinking it? :p

That looks great, he should love it!!
Just curious, is that digital scrapbooking? and if so, do you get someone to print it out for you?

Thanks, that's what I'm hoping. :)
Yeah its digital scrapbooking, I haven't gone that deep into it yet, mostly I've used it to make neat desktop pictures with the latest pictures of the kids. Then my MIL started seeing what I had done for desktop pictures so she wanted them printed, I make hers 5x7's usually and these I made 8x10 so they can be printed anywhere, altho I'm sure if i made them square like a lot of those scrap-pages are Adorama could print those for me as well, they had a huge list of different crops.
So sweet Sue! Your kiddos are adorable. :) He is going to love this!
Thanks Kristy! I hope he will, something different than the normal stuff he gets.
Love this, Sue. Your hubby is going to get a lot of positive comments at work....

Thanks Maureen, nice to "see" you again. Its been a while. And yes the kids are growing like weeds, wild ones. LOL My girl will be 4 in 1 month from tomorrow. The little one will be one 2 weeks after his sister. Time flies!
I do hope he likes it, last time I was there I counted the pictures and noticed he only had one of the youngest, its time for some updated stuff in there. LOL

This is really nice, I'm sure he will love it. I bet he would also love it if he had a pic of you and the kids. Maybe someone can help you take it.

Thanks Colleen, I hope he will.
LOL Naw, very few and rare occasions I release the camera and stand infront of it. I think I'd rather be caught dead than be in a picture myself, there's a reason I'm behind it. :p;) I thought for Father's Day it needed to be daddy and the kids, maybe one day I'll be in it but not for a Father's Day picture. If I can teach my SIL do do a portrait like I want it I might have her shoot a couple with my camera this summer, she did a fair job on our Christmas photos with my help. :)

Thanks Bob, I appreciate it. Its nice to get the guys opinions on it since daddy is the target audience here, ya know? :)
