Wedding album

It took me ages to start work on this album. I wanted to get it right - for me that meant ensuring everything was in one place (no separate cards for example), and that it both showcased the best photos and told the story of the day. Plus, it had to be a combination of my style (bright and colourful) and my husband's (more clean and neutral). Eventually I found Elise Blaha Cripe's album, and that provided the inspiration I needed.


The font and kiwi bird icons are the same ones we used on our invitations, so i'm hoping the whole thing will come together quite easily. The hard part is definitely choosing the photos - we have 1000 from our official photographer and hundreds more from our guests! Here's hoping it will be finished before our 2 year anniversary!

Project Life - September 2014

Although I didn't quite manage to get caught up on my PL, I can say I'm no longer behind. I haven't done October's yet, but as it's still November I think that's allowed! September's layouts confirmed to me that a weekly format isn't what I need - there are only 4 layouts for September. We spent 2 weeks away this month, and the holiday will be documented elsewhere (along with our other Disney vacations), so I've just captured a flavour of the trip here. The other main thing that happened was our Big Garden Makeover, and that takes up most of the other two pages.

I'm quite pleased with the amount of white space this month - I think I've finally managed not to overfill the pages!
