The girls took a trip out west with David and Marilee (Chris's parents) a couple of weeks ago, and I've been itching to get the photos (from 4 different cameras, no less) into a photobook. Of course, I've had grand plans to do this with all our trip photos -- the ones from our two trips to DC, our two (soon to be three) trips to San Francisco, our camping photos, my Shaker Hill pictures -- but I've never made the time to do it. I decided that it was finally time to get started, and I'll be honest, it was a set of templates that helped me pull this project together and get it out of my head and onto the screen. Tiffany Tillman's Modern Masters template collection, to be exact. The brushwork works beautifully for large background photos that fade into the paper, and then I can add all kinds of frame clusters and office-type elements on top, while keeping the look very photo- and story-centered.
Here's a look at the first four pages, with a credit list at the end.
