We love finding unique Mixbook photo book ideas across the internet. Mixbooker Emily B. shared this heartwarming project on Instagram with her audience and we immediately fell in love with how clever and heartfelt it was. Emily created a photo book of her daughter and husbands art together—the perfect Father’s Day gift!

What is it about Mixbooking that you enjoy most?

I love that I can use the app to create a project whenever/wherever I am. As a mom, I have to squeeze in projects like this whenever I have time between home and work life so being able to bring the app up whenever I have 5-10 minutes made creating this book possible.

Tell us about your most recent project.

For Father's Day, I created a book showcasing the artwork my husband and daughter have done together in the past year. I uploaded pictures of each drawing they did, grouped them into categories, and arranged them so you can see my daughter's picture next to the same one my husband did. It was so fun seeing how our daughter has progressed in her artwork and having a book we can keep forever to remember this fun phase!

Why is it important to you to document these moments?

Kids grow up so fast and it can be hard to capture a specific age or phase in their lives. Creating a book of these drawings allows us to capture this phase of loving to draw and the bonding time father and daughter spent together. You can definitely see through this project which things they liked to draw the most!

What's your favorite Mixbook editor feature?

I really like the ability to change the shape and size of the images I upload. It helps the images look less uniform and the book is much more fun to look at!
