    You can always put a piece of paper of the piccies. TBH that is what I do with the photo of my children too.

    ..or alternatively you could take a photo from a bit of a distance away so you don't see their faces. ;)

    I am sorry I have been told by hubby it is alot of effort to ask of people to do all that to look at the album. Unfortunatly there are at least 3 pics on each page so its not worth covering up all pics with paper (although thanks for the suggestions) . Never mind will have to post pics of the next one.

    Don't apologise mumhug. I can completely understand.
    Would love for you to send a link so I could have a look.

    Rainmac, thought you would like the Photobucket albums, some of them use Basic Grey background papers! :j

    I noticed that there are Father's day and a 'Day at the Zoo' themed album too, which are free, those of you that have been there for the half term might like to take a look... (Have a go too, lets see some results on here!)

    I did make a fabric covered boxfile out of my cereal packet but I daren't show you lot any of the photos 'cos I made a right pigsear with the spray on glue! :rotfl: I had to get rid of the excess glue with White Spirit and now the file stinks of chemicals! :eek: Oops! :D

    qwiksave - I'm sure its not as bad as that. Never thought of making a box file but come to think of if, I've got a couple of empty ones (woolies special) -could cover them with fabric (found some more last night -roll of air force blue velvet type...........:j) Make a good box to put pressies in

    (sorry -gone right off topic !)

    If you've put them onto photobucket you can drop embellishments over their faces - like hearts or stars.

    I've done that before when posting pics of my son

    Off to have another look at the albums...

    I think covering a box file would make a fab present. I have lots of those Ikea plain MDF magazine/folder holder thingies. I am thinking of scaling down my magazine stash and I could recyle the holders for presents...
