This is kind of the scary part; what if it looks horrible. Is it just me that although excited about being done a little worried that something is wrong.

This is a copy of the book with the Orlando / WDW pages. If you see something strange, like some weird journaling or just have some suggestions please let me know.

Thank you all for the encouragement and help in finding the right tools. I couldn't have done it without the wonderful kits from Glenda Ketcham, Erica Zane, Ellie Lash, Sya's Blueprints and of course Brittish Designs. It also helped to have the challenges and all the wonderful scrappers here I could borrow ideas from.

This book is for my Mom from our trip to WDW for her 80th birthday. One nice thing about digital is that I'll get 3 books, one each for my Mom, sister & me.

WOW! That is GORGEOUS! You did a great job with it and your photos are wonderful. I'm so tempted to try this instead of paper for my next trip.
 
Janette -- It came out SO GREAT!! What a wonderful keepsake. Really -- it looks totally ready to me, and it gorgeous. (It's not just you though.... I uploaded one a few weeks ago (a family album) and all I have to do is hit the "order" button, and I haven't been able to bring myself to do it. LOL! I keep thinking -- maybe I should change this or add that.... but I need to move on!! so I'm going to do it this week. You've inspired me. :))
 

Thanks all; it helps that the current special for 55% off ends on Nov 05. Gives me a deadline so I'll hit that order button..
 
Great looking book! I'm going to try a digital album next!
She's going to love it!
 
Your book is amazing, beautiful, gorgeous! I know she'll love it.
 
Janette, your book looks great. What an awesome keepsake for all of you.

But you wanted to know if we have any suggestions, so here are mine...
- View from the room: maybe change it to "View from our room"?
- Animal Kingdom pages: break up the last sentence some. It says everything, but it's hard to read as is. (Take out the "and"s and "so"s.)
- Epcot page: you might want to check your wording about Germany & Italy shops. I think you have an extra "the" in there, but I'm not sure
-

Love your China & Japan pages! And your last page brought a tear to my eye.
 
Thanks Robin; I've looked at them too many times and it helps to have a fresh outlook. Also I've been known to miss some obvious things.
 
It was a beautiful book and it looks like it was a great trip.

However, you did ask for some help, so here is what I found....

On the DeVine page.... I believe it is spelled DeVine (but I cannot confirm that). You spelled it DiVine.

On the page about Minnie's garden.... you have a typo on the word "fragrance".... you have an extra "n".

On the page "Where better to celebrate an 8th (decade) birthday". I believe that sentence should end with a question mark, not a period.

On the Wishes page, you put an "e" on the end of "spectacular".

And on the Tupperware page, I believe that there should be a hyphen between "give" and "aways".

Sorry to be picky, but I am SURE you would rather correct things now!! It is so frustrating to find mistakes when it is too late!

I did have trouble reading some pages even when I magnified it (probably just my crummy monitor), so I didn't read everything thoroughly.

You did a fabulous job with the book. I am VERY impressed. Almost makes me want to go digital!..........................P
 
Thanks! Yes I'd rather find things now and the typos are the hardest to spot. I did double check the spelling for DiVine and that is how it is spelled on planning pages etc. She's not on the times or guide maps so wanted to make sure.
 
allearsnet has it spelled DiVine, so you're good with that. Great job on the book! It's a great feeling to finish one, isn't it?
 
Wow Janette, your finished book is GREAT! It's always so neat to see how it all comes together from your individual LO's. Again, it looks great! Congrats on the finished product!
 
It is a lovely book!

My only comment would be to put your names in the book. I know you know who everyone is, but maybe your grandkids won't. Just a thought... Kind of a cast of characters type page...
 
thanks for sharing...

I'm working on our book from our trip this June (the old-fashioned way) you have inspired me w/ some of those great pages.

Wonderful job andwhat a great way to celebrate your Mom!

I hope someone takes me to WDW when I'm 80 too
 
The book for you mother is absolutely beautiful. It looked like
you had a wonderful time with her. Between the trip and now the
book what a beautiful memory you have created. She will love it.
 
The book looks amazing!!! I am sure she will just love it. Great job, you should be very proud of your work!!!
