Out of Mind, Out of Sight

June 28th, 2008

It’s done.

The last layouts were completed and uploaded yesterday.  I finished the front and back cover and spine and uploaded those.  I double-checked each page to make sure I hadn’t left VividPics on.  I previewed more than once.  I placed the order and clicked "submit."

It’s done.

Now, all I can do is wait for Shutterfly to do what they do best and hope for a call from my daughter once she sees the results.

Here are the last layouts and the album cover preview…

Yes, the final page of her album is a repeat of a previous page’s template and colors - the first page, actually.  It’s my way of starting it and finishing it with a theme - and sort of matching the first and last pages to the cover.

I think my next project will be our family yearbooks.  I’ve got a few pages from each of the past 3 years already completed, so there’s a few anchor points to build from.  Now that I’ve got this book completed, I feel more of a compulsion to get our family albums under construction.

Tschüss!
