I like that everyone's will be a little bit different.
You are kinda limited to where you can put photos & journaling in my books. Hence all the tags to help even that out. But in my defense, I HAD to put all stuff in there. I bought it for that and if my DH saw it still laying around after I complained about how I HAD to have it, well, you just have to use smaller photos.

Far be it for our photos to interfere with your design genius

Exactly, my dear.

Yep, too simple, lack of creativity, overall appearance being BLAH! Yep, I worry about everything.... especially after seeing some of the others.. stress-o-meter is in full swing for me!!! Off to the fair for the rabbit show for DS12.... Next year we are showing a rabbit w/ DS11... so DH is getting costs and trying to find a cage for it... and DS has already picked out several names.. LOL

Well, Im trying to do the same, leaving room for photos...That was my plan. I don't know if I'm achieving that. Last night, I kept waking up trying to come up with different configurations for the background paper that would work and still look OK with the photos. My background paper configurations will probably look alot like yours, just different paper patterns and different embellishments. That was my orginal plan as well. I'm not using photo mats, tags, or journal boxes on the pages. I had picked out the patterned paper about 6 weeks ago at a Hobby Lobby sale and many of the embellishments, I'm printing out.....Using vintage travel posters for the countries along with ribbon....That's it!! It's fairly bright, though.

These books are really fun, but I sure wish I had more time. I had other swaps to complete before this and this week, I am helping coordinate medical care for a friend's elderly aunt, as well as my regular job of doing the same, as well as rehearsal.

MARIA.....ARE YOU OUT THERE????? Just wanted to confirm...These are due July 30, not the 31st?

The rabbit show is STILL going on.. Started @ 9:15am..and they aren't even at DsS's breed yet.. I finally just came home..and I'm irritated as can be.. and I'd really like to smack somebody around.. but that is a whole other story and issue... but one day I will get to do it!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I know that rabbits breed like , but how many could they have for the show to be still going on?

 

[PrincessNancy96]

I wish I could answer that.. there seems to be less than 100 cages...but there is only one judge..and like 20 breeds...
I could just cry..because I really wanted to see it and take photos.. maybe DH will get back home from lunch w/ the oldest son (he works @ the bank) and he can go back out.. I just can't have the kids out there all day and all night while DD has to work..
It'll be crazy enough next year when DS11 has his own rabbit to show.. but we will know more what to expect...
This weekend we are going to price the cage, food, bedding and such... and than look for a rabbit once school is in full swing...

I needed that.. thanks YM!!!

ETA: It's 2:30pm..and DsS's rabbit just got evaluated.. she kept him up for a while..but than sent him on his way.. he received a participation award for his rabbit.. pretty good for the first time out..

Ok, time to get ready for the evening shift at the fair (good thing I re-read that.. cause I said a dirty word!)

Maria, mine are going postal today. They shouldn't take too long to get there. There is one Pooh book that is marked please return to me, if you could make sure I get that one back. Thanks!

 

[New England Eeyore]

...and I just went back to look at all the pictures posted so far. Everything is amazing! I love each and every book. We have some very talented ladies here, although I knew that already!

 

[YodasMom]

Hey Maria~Just a little concerned about you since I haven't seen you on the Boards recently. I sent you a PM and am waiting for you to answer before I mail my swap.

Hope you're OK!

Here's my Epcot Album. I'm not sure if it copied it in the order I downloaded, which was the order of the book. The images aren't as good as those actually uploaded to Adobe, but anyway....here they are:

Here's the link for the album. Photobucket changed the order I uploaded. The album really goes from Mexico to Canada with a pocket page in the front or a travel picture and a pocket page at the end for a passport or other picture. I used mini-vintage travel posters for some of the embellishments. These photos aren't anywhere as good as the orginals:

The doggie albums will be uploaded later. The Epcot one took almost the whole morning to upload for some reason.

Maria, I PM'd you again.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

WOW, that looks sooo awesome. I really wish I had signed up for that group so I could get all of them.


Maria, has my box arrived yet?

 

[KatDisney]

some reason I can't see the album

 

[YodasMom]

some reason I can't see the album

The link I copied for the slideshow just shows the cover. The link had the image address in the middle of the URL link and didn't copy the whole album. I will have to figure out what the problem is later....don't have time right now. The cover photo should show up, but that's apparently all right now. Sorry!
