View Full Version : Design advice for a gift wedding album

Short story:

I am a habitual procrastinator, and I never sent in my design request for my wedding album. They want to charge me per week since the month after the wedding date to complete the album. Instead of paying them an extra $700 to get a (boring) leather album for myself and our families, I thought it would be better to make a small scrapbook for our families instead.

Problem is, I'm not so good at layout design since I'm new, and this is a process I'd like to expedite as much as possible, since my wedding was in 2006. :eek: I want to make them something very nice and keepsake worthy, but I doubt I'm going to find a quick album or series of matching page kits that will allow me to get 20 (color /theme matching) pages out of it. At least, that's my assumption, and I may just not be thinking out of the box....

Should I choose a few color coordinating page kits and hope for the best with a layout? Or maybe page kits and templates for the layouts would be the way to go?

This may be a huge undertaking for someone so new to digi scrapping, but as they say, necessity is the mother of invention... :think:

Hiya
I think you may be surprised when it comes to instant, I am not sure what your style is but
here is a link to the instant albums in the store

there are a few wedding ones and some freestyle ones as well that would be good for wedding layouts.

The other option is to search for wedding kits you particularly like or kits with colours you like, and then to see what others have done with that kit (by searching the gallery) or even just adding lots of wedding layouts to your favourites that you like the design of and scraplift them with your chosen kits.

You should find a wealth of ideas here at DSP!
