Thank you!!
We need one for Grandpa! 🙂
This is adorable!!! I can't wait to d/l for all four of my kids to make for Dad!! Thank you so much for sharing.
Love this! so so cute!
Thank you
Thank you so much for this! My kids will love doing this and with money tight I really appreciate that it's free.
This is wonderful, but is there ANY way you could make an alternate "Grampa" cover too? I'd love for my kids to make one for their grandfathers. Thanks!
um, awesome. totally going to feature my finished project with my 3 little ones on my blog! Thanks.
I love this idea!! Thanks for the downloads.
I love the book! Thank you!!
This is awesome! My daughter will love filling this out and giving it to daddy. Thank you!
I L.O.V.E. this book! Thank you for sharing. I have a question, when I push the arrow on the bottom of each page, and download it-it prints out HUGE! Like it takes up the entire 8.5 x 11 paper! Is there something I am missing in order to make it print smaller-to fit the 4 x 6 photo book? Thanks!
Thank you! This is soo cute!!
Love this! Added it (like many of your darling things) to my business page.

Very cute! I'm going to change the pages to say Paw-Paw and Granddaddy and we'll be working on these for them!
how did you do that?
I Love this!! THank you so so much for the free download. I think I might just be computer challenged, but how do I get it to print as a 4×6? Mine is the whole page? Help! mmpickett@gmail.com Thanks!
same question as others–how do we resize down to 4 x6? really wanna do this with my 3 yr. old for daddy.
What a fabulous gift! Thanks for the free download.
This is so very cute… thankyou so much.

I uploaded the photos to my iphoto or whatever you use and printed them off in a 4×6 there.
thank you for making fathers day so easy!!!
Yes, yes, yes one for grandpa! We have kids that live with us and they would love to make one for Papa
Love this concept. Featuring it in a post tomorrow. Lovely. Thank you.
Thank you so much – this is a great project!
Would love a mum version so I didn't have to miss out on the fun.
Thank you so much. Hope to do this…
I really would love to go this for fathers day. However the pictures do not come up on the computer to print is there something I need to do first? Any assistance would be so much appreciated. This is such a cute idea. My email is bethmarie6@hotmail.com if that is easier to get back in touch with me. Thank you so much for the idea!!!

This is darling! I just printed out the pages for the kids to make one for Dad, but I echo the comments above: Can you pretty please make one for Grandpa? I'm not photoshop-savvy enough to change it on my own. Thank you ever so much!
OMG this i such a cute book, love it thank you so much fr sharing 🙂
This is totally cute and I want to use it every year! I'm curious what font you used. I'd like to make some more pages to coordinate! Thanks!
Thanks so much for sharing this! I love it and will be using it with my boys to make their dad a book.
Thanks so much for this! My kids loved making this for their dad!
Can you do a grandpa book? Love the dad book. Thanks.
This is a great idea! Thank you!

This is awesome. Thank you!
This is awesome. Thank you!
My boys made this for Father's Day and he LOVED it!
Thank you!
Just wanted to say thank you for this awesome printable! My boys loved filling this out and my husband loved receiving it. I posted a few shots of how it turned out on my blog. (http://mightycrafty.blogspot.com/2012/07/june-2012-crafty-round-up.html) Thank you again!
What a great idea — I love this –thanks
This is wonderful! I want to make one for my dad, even though I'm nearly 30. Thanks for sharing! I have linked up this project on my blog today: http://hotcommodityhome.blogspot.com
This is really cute, just found it on on Pintrest. Are you thinking of reposting it for 2013? If so could you add a few blank pages? Or some with titles like, Dad at Work. Dad at Play. Fun with Dad. Family Time. Just some ideas.
Awesome Idea, I'm printing NOW!!! =)
To Everyone asking about how to print as a 4×6 from home, just change the size of the paper from your printer options set to 4×6, 10x15cm.
Thanks for sharing this cute printable! I love it. Would you mind sharing the font with me? I am going to make a few more pages to add to our book and would like them to match but I'm not sure what font you used? Thanks!
wonderful! Very cute!! And super easy, love it!!
Thank you for sharing! I scooped your post on
Crafty Crafts
and Pinned it here Crafty Crafts
Love this! I noticed that the self portrait page titled "Me and my Dad" is missing.
Is there any way you could post this?
I'm a budding wannabe crafty mom and feel stupid for posting this, but I don't understand the cutting out if the pages of the photo album and then stapling them together. Does that, then, become the book? Why not just use the photo book as is?
Thank you!!
Thanks for this! Shared it with my followers on my facebook page http://www.facebook.com/1Corinthians13Parenting

a very original idea for children to give Dad
The Pages that you're supposed to click an arrow on… they're not showing up. I've tried on several different days and they never load. Ugh, really LOVE this and want to print it. Help!
maybe its just me but the templates do not show up at all? is there a reason or something I can do?
Hi Ashley… not sure why it's doing that. I went and added a link to all of the downloads below each page. Hope that helps.
To the question about using the photo book as is: I haven't made this yet (plan to this weekend with the kids) but I am guessing the original maker wanted the cover she made to be the book cover as shown above. I would think you could use the photo book as is if you wished!
Thanks for sharing this great project! I will definitley have my kids make this for their dad. 🙂
Love it! Your card was featured in our Father's Day Round-up today!

Thanks for sharing your darling printable!
Loved the Mother's Day booklet for Nana and Oma, so I feel compelled to create this awesome booklet for Papa and DaDa for Father's Day. Thanks so much!
We need a Papa Book asap!!!!!!!!!
I think this is fabulous. Thank you so much. When finished this will be a gift kept for many years!
Super awesome!!! perfect for my 6 year old to make for her dad for father's day! thanks so much!
Great great idea! I so hope I can pull it together to do this. My husband would LOVE it! Thanks so much for the post.

Thank you so much for the downloads! This will be very fun for my kids to work on!
This is so cute! I just printed it, it will be fun to see what the kids come up with. Thanks for offering it. I love your blog and have been following for a while now. I just starting a blog myself and have been enjoying figuring it all out.
Thanks

This is great! We are going to have so much fun making this and Daddy and Gpa will be so impressed. 🙂 THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for this! I just printed it and am so excited to put it together and let the kids go to town on the pages! I appreciate you sharing this fun and personal gift with the world! : )
Thank you, it's lovely! Shared with the moms at http://www.facebook.com/modernmama today <3 We'll be making this too (my 4, 7 and 9yo's)
Thanks for sharing! Very nice!
Thanks so much for this! Planning on putting it together for Father's Day over the next couple days. So appreciate your sharing it!!!
Hello! This is adorable! I am having the same issues as others where the image is printing the full paper size instead of 4×6. Any suggestion on how to get it to print would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
jenniferlroser@gmail.com
Thanks! Printing tip: I changed my settings to print at 100% scale instead of the 179% that came up on my print screen and it printed it 4 x 6 size.
Another Tip: when I go to print it gives the option of 8×10 or 4×6 and so on. This turned out perfect. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for these downloads! Love the grandpa ones too!
I just wanted to thank you for this wonderful printable book. I was my husband's favorite gift (a tear may have been shed)! I blogged about it and linked back! Thanks again!!

Thanks a bunch!

You're welcome! Thanks for stopping by!!
Way cool idea! Thanks.
You're welcome!!
Love this!! Any chance you have a Papa version? Thank you!!
No, just Dad + Grandpa. Sorry.
Woow It's perfect Thanks
Is there a way to pin this?
If you hover over any of the images, a Pin It button should pop up.
Lov it! Thanks for sharing 😉
Thank you so much for this! We made it this year with our daycare and they are ADORABLE!
How fun!! I can just imagine how cute each of the kid's drawings and answers were.
This is printing out larger than printer paper for me? What size are they supposed to be? So cute hope to make one !
They're sized at 4×6. Hopefully, you should be able to switch the paper size on your printer settings before printing.
Thank you so much! My 3 boys loved doing this for Dad! 🙂
Aw… I'm sure Dad is going to love them.
I am trying to download the Dad book for my daughter to make, and the links are not working? Can you help?
Thank you for this! My son is making it for my husband's birthday.
Is it my eyes but page four is missing? As far as I can see there is no page four to click on. Love, love, love the Father’s Day and Grandfather’s book!
It is there. The page was a little wonky though. I tried to clean it up a little. Let me know if you still don’t see it. 🙂
Love this book – would you be able to change one to say Papa
I’m so sorry, but we don’t have the original files anymore so we are not able to make any changes. 🙁
This is darling! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for all your hard work on this! It was a big hit! Great job!
Yay. So happy to hear that!! 🙂
Hi! Are we allowed to give this out for free to kids for them to fill up and give their dads?! 🙂
Sure! Just don’t give out the digital design. 🙂
Is this still available? When I click to download, the screen is blank 🙁
Is this still available? I’m having an issue with Box. I printed this out years back and I’d love my kids to do it again for their dad.
Nice! Just wonder if you have one for sister?
Is this still available? I cannot get it to print.
unable to download the link… whyyyyyyy???????????????
all fixed. 🙂
