Normally, summer is slow for me at work. Last year, it was so slow, I took a week off for the heck of it and didn't work a second over our 35-hour work weeks. Well, here comes the new firm. Work weeks are 40 hours like the rest of the poor working world and there's no slow time anymore. I am jam-packed with stuff to do.
You know what they say too, right? When it rains, it pours! I've had three custom order inquiries come in while I am still struggling to meet my original order. The good news is, my original order customer is contemplating further designs. (Have I said how much I like this customer? Very responsive and laid back about delivery times. Sweet!) The other orders might not pan out. It will be blessings in disguise, I'm sure. I am squeezing one in for mini baby-cards though.
I finally did another page in my wedding album. This album has been in the making for over 5 years. I'd say I'm about half way through it. Maybe I can show it to my husband in its entirety for our 10-year anniversary! LOL. Even looking back on it now, I can see how much I've aged. (sigh)
This is my dad giving his speech at my wedding. I tried to make these pages masculine by using hard lines but tried to make them interesting with off-centered placement. I wasn't sure whether I really like it until I put the two father's speech pages together.
I used a colour on each page that matched the bow-tie/tie of the father. Together, I think it looks kind of "newsy" announcement type. So, I like them now.
I will be working on this book in September. My creative crew ladies and I are going to a self-made retreat! I'm a little nervous about how much I actually plan to pack. I will have to go through my wedding album and plan a few pages ahead in "page kit" fashion. Then I will know what to bring!

My friends and I are go on a few "self made retreats" I LOVE them :)
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to know what to bring. We have been doing these for over 10 yrs, you would think I would have it all down pat, not, lol.
Your layout is perfect. I would think it would be hard to put a masculine layout, but still keeping with the wedding theme. I think you did it perfectly.
I like the album! I think the colors look great. I really like the little banner on the left page. Congratulations, by the way, on your busy-ness! It's always good to have orders even if it is overwhelming :) Let us know how the retreat goes! That sounds really fun!
