Big Brother Book

I found this idea where a mom /graphic designer made a photo book about her older kids when they were babies before their baby brother arrived. I have been looking for something special to give Nolan to help him transition into his role as big brother and this fit the bill. Too bad it was $35 for the template on top of the $100 software I would need to be able to customize it...uh no thanks!
A few weeks later I got an email from shutterfly with an offer for a free 8x8 photobook. Perfect! I got to work and designed something pretty close to the pinterest inspiration book using the Shutterfly software (which was unfortunately not very user friendly). It came out to be about 24 pages of how we prepared for Nolan and all the adventures we went on once he arrived. Here are a few of my favorite pages.







 I was pretty happy with how it came out. I wish it would've allowed for a bit more customization but the photo quality was good and best of all Nolan loves to read it and look at all the pictures. Done and done!
