Dad turned 60 last month and I wanted to give him a This is Your Life book, which took some organising mostly begging family members for photo's of Dad. This is the first time I had tried something like this and I was very pleased with the results,
I got my inspiration from here and just amended it to fit my needs,
For the front cover I used basic grey paper which was great it looked like an old leather book, and to finish it off I added some gold lettering and an gold glittery band
This is the first page and it covers his youth, when he met Mum and after they had me and my brother.
This page covers his 30's and 40's and I have included some icons that were relevant to Dad at the time, ( the pacman because he loved playing pacman on the old atari 2600)
This page represents his 40's and 50's his love of tea and shirts, and where he works
and this photo was taken at his pre birthday tea, a day before Dad turned 60
Thanks for popping by Jo x
