Parker's Gospel ABC Book

I have seen a few Gospel ABC Books on blogs lately and thought that this would be a fun project to do for Parker. Then, I won a free book from Shutterfly, so I decided to buckle down and do it. MANY MANY hours later - I finally finished tonight (because the coupon expired today). This was my first time with actually uploading my digital pages into shutterfly and I definitely had my share of mistakes (like not formatting to the right size - I figured 8x8 for an 8x8 book, right? WRONG.) Apparently, you need to take account trimming on all edges and can't make things centered. So, these are my originals. I then went in and fixed all of the pages so that they are no longer centered (but will appear centered in the book). What a headache!!! At least I know for the future :)

Now that I am finished, I can be excited about the project and also thrilled that I can move on to new things...like going to New York tomorrow!!! I need a vacation after this project!

Wow, Bex - it turned out AMAZING! I may have to use that layout when I get back if you don't mind (since our first plan at a layout failed... lol!) Have so much fun in NYC! Can't wait to see pictures when you get back.

We made those for RS Super Saturday last year. I love it. I still have a couple of pictures to add to mine though. I still haven't put a picture of Mommy, Daddy, or Grandparents. I love you Q picture. Where did you get that one? I need to replace my Prophet picture because we have Pres. Hinkley.

Becca - that is darling! What a wonderful idea! You'll have to let me know how the book turns out in real life - I've never done any of their books :)

Have a great time on your trip (you world traveler, you!)

Becca,
Based off the other comments it looks like you have your work cut out for you :) So seriously that is the exact project I have been trying to tackle... I am on B.... and yours are a tone cuter then mine! I would love if you would email me all the pages and I will just replace the pictures with mine... Oh my goodness... I would pay you for them!! They are so cute. Have a great trip to NYC. Keep an eye out for the missionaries... Wesley is in NY! You never now. What are you heading to NY for?

Becca,
Sign me up and put me in line for an email. I, like the rest of the world, would love anything you'll give me to get a start on this book. SO CUTE and looks like a lot of work. I have seen it around, but yours is the cutest. Hope you are loving NY.

Becca, that is so darling and amazing. You could make some major money on it. I would honestly pay you for the layout designs. Parker's so cute I'm sure Grace would be just as happy looking at him as herself :).

Nice work. Love it!
