Creating Family History Book - Part 3 - Building with Canva.com

Our focus today was on building a Print-Resolution PDF file using Canva.  This is different from building a file in Snapfish, Mixbook, MyCanvas, Shutterfly or others where they own the content that you build and it is all about selling you a hardcover book from their sites. This is an i-cloud based platform (free) where you build out your book and you own the print-resolution pdf that you can take to any printer to make a book or you can electronically share your high quality pdf with others.

We went through the introduction to Canva.com, how to use it, click here for video, then each member used their own free version of Canva to start building their own stories.  Each member who attended was given access to 2 templates that were designed for Family History Book and Lynn Baker's sample book template.  A handout was provided with helpful tips on using Canva: click here for handout.
