DEEDS... WHY ARE YOU NOT GOING... AND BY THE WAY BOB AND MARILYN LOOK STUNNING IN THE CRAYOLA PICTURE... I LOVE IT...
ReplyDeletei love the crayon pic- i want to try one myself.
ReplyDeleteYou are a hoot! I love it.
ReplyDeleteThat is so clever! Also, I never noticed how much you guys look like your mom. She looks pretty different now. Maybe I am just dense. But you all look similar, I just hadn't figured it out. Yeah, I'll be going now....
ReplyDeleteSo I see this pin on Pinterest and I think, "That looks like my family." And it is! Great blog and great idea!
ReplyDeleteOH, I'm going to use my preschooler's pictures and let them color themselves!! Thanks! Jodee (I don't have an account but found this on Pinterest)
ReplyDeleteDoes this work on a Mac? I cannot get it to work. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi, I also have a Mac and can't get this to work. Help! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYou can do the same thing using the most recent version of picasa...there's a "pencil sketch" edit you can do with one click. Then print.
ReplyDeleteLove this! Thanks for sharing.

I made each of my Grandchildren a color book of all their cousins aunts uncles grandparents parents and siblings. I added a thumbprint of the actual photo on each page. They loved them !!
ReplyDeleteis this free? i can't click it right now, at work. thanks
ReplyDeleteI didn't have a problem uploading a picture with my Mac. I'm using Firefox. This is so cute!
ReplyDeletethis is way to cool on making a personal coloring book. I love it, just wish it printed out bigger.
ReplyDeleteYou can print it bigger if you copy and paste onto Word documment and enlarge it as you do pictures.
DeleteI can upload a picture with a Mac, but I cannot get the picture to print. Any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteit prints too small.. (on a mac, right click and save image) and if you want to save the larger version they charge! boo!
ReplyDeleteI uploaded the picture and then copied it and saved it landscape style in a Word document and it was much bigger!
ReplyDeleteFor those having trouble, you can do this same thing with photoshop or elements. Probably true of nearly any editing program.
ReplyDeleteI would also like to point out there is no need of that website to do this. You can do this easily in Ribbet, Photoshop, Gimp and now Microsoft Word 10.
ReplyDeleteI love this!!!
ReplyDeleteYou can also do this now on powerpoint presentation. Check out the artistic features.
ReplyDeleteOkay...what is the website again?!?!? because I seem to can't find the link...thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhat website? I don't see where the website is listed or a link?
ReplyDeleteThe link is in the first step where it says find a picture and upload it here. Click on "here"
ReplyDeleteAny tips on making it work for mix-race families? Either the Caucasians turn into ghosts with no facial features or the African Americans get big splotchy shadows across their faces.
ReplyDeleteTiffanie- I am not a techie person but...I ran into the same problem (though I'm not sure which mix-race we're talking about...my husbands Chinese so he's not super dark...). If you have Photoshop (which I used) you can mess with the contrast settings (after you've sent your pictures through the site she mentions in her post). Tedious if you're doing a zillion pictures but, it worked for me. Or try using the settings in a photo program that you may have. Hope that helps, good luck!
ReplyDelete**Thanks to this post I found on Pinterest I am now the coolest sister ever for Christmas presents this year. I made a family coloring book. Thanks for the inspiration!!***
Tiffanie-I ran into the same problem, (my husband's Chinese, so he isn't super dark) depending on what mix-race we're talking about here, it may work differently. I used Photoshop and messed with the contrast settings,etc. You may also want to try the settings on your photo program if you don't have Photoshop. (Sorry, I'm not super tech-savvy, maybe you already tried that). This is after you've sent your loaded pictures through the above-mentioned site btw. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteDeeDee-Thanks for posting this on your blog. I found it through Pinterest. I made the coolest 'family' coloring books using that site. Thank you thank you!
This is cool!
ReplyDeleteHi there just did this to my family's pic. How do i make the size bigger to fit the whole page? Thanks so much for this awesomw idea.
ReplyDeleteAwesome going to try it. Thanks
