Thanks for the encouraging words and the wonderful help.

I tried a different background - it's a picture I took of the sky.

I like it a lot better than the photo background. I feel that the text is easier to read.

I'm doing a remodel on our house so I have very little time to work on the photo book, but the house project should be completed by mid April. When that day comes, I'll have more time for photoshop and other fun things.

The sky background looks great. You are still putting the image of your parents in the book right. Or is that not a photo of your parents

Thank you, I agree the sky background is much better.

Yes, that was/is a photo of my parents.

I plan on making more photo pages with them included, along with grandparents, great grandparents, sisters, etc.

The link below takes you to a full page of pictures of them. So far this is the only one I've had time to make, but there will be more when I find the time.
