Recently I made a scrapbook for all of us to give my dad for his 65th birthday. It was titled '65 Reasons We Love Dad' and it came out AMAZING!!! I've used iPhoto on our Mac before for photo albums, but this time I used shutterfly. I think I am sold with shutterfly! I can't argue the simplicity of iPhoto or the quality, but I am SUPER pleased with how shutterfly's turned out. The book is hard bound and the pages are thicker. Just overall, LOVED it!! I made a layout for each of the six kids {grandchildren included} as well as my mom with each of our reasons why we love dad. The #1 Reason was because he married mom & the #65 Reason was from my mom "Because he takes me fishing." Here are some of my favorite pages in the book!

I love this Lisa! I made digitally scrapbooked brag books for the grandmas this year. I'll post pictures after the holidays!
Awesome Lisa. I have recently been inspired to try out scrapbooking again, only digitally this time. I am going to have to drive out one day and get a tutorial. (But no iMac.)
That is so cool! I love it. What a great idea. Those are some great pictures! I love looking at pics of my parents from the "old" days.
What a great gift. You guys are so creative. We did get into the nordic ski program and the kids are so excited. I'm excited because Matt and I are going to switch off and go skiing so if you want to join in I'd love the company.
I want to know if you "plugged" in the pictures on a shutterfly book or if you scrapped them digitally and then sent them the pages and asked for a book. This looks awesome!
Lisa, this turned out so awesome. You did such a great job, thanks for doing it. Dad loves it.
Mom
Lisa,
I simply can't tell you how many times I have picked up the wonderful 65th birthday Tribute! It is so fun to sit down with and reflect on all the great family memories.
Mom and every one of my children and grandchildren made the neatest comments . I know how much you did to put it all together Lisa. Thank you "we do not remember days; we remember moments"65 Reasons We Love Dad has already brought back thousands of wonderful moments!
Love, Dad
Lisa, you did a great job, It will be a treasured gift your parents will always remember! You are so talented and crafty. I also liked your Advent calendar. That is a great idea! Love, Mom
i love shutterfly too! I have not yet ordered the book so I am excited to hear your take on it!
Lisa,
Just looking at your blog today and had to comment one more time about my book....I know I have looked at it more than 65 times by now and when I show it to visitors it gets some wonderful comments about our awesome family. Thank you again. Love, Dad
