2018 Family Vacation Album (Europe: France, Belgium & The Netherlands)

We moved Lauren off to college last week and I've been trying to be productive and busy. I've been organizing the house and I've also been busy creating and designing an album for our trip to Europe this summer (we got back 3 weeks ago). The next step is sending it off to print at Blurb Books.

Guess what ... even though I've been busy I still find time to miss Lauren! She's doing great and is keeping in contact with us so it's all good! I'm super happy for her at college!


NOTES: 

I'm still thinking about how I want to design the front and back cover, but I've got the "guts" of the book done, proofed (hopefully; I always manage to miss something) and ready to share! 

I keep my vacation albums pretty simple. Photos, words and a white background. Something, in my mind, like a coffee table book. It helps me keep the focus on the pictures, words and memories. I save all my digital embellishing for my annual family albums. TFL!
