Hello Designers:

I want to say that I as so impressed with all of your talents. I am still new to digital scrapping. My best friend has announced her engagement and I would like to create a scrapbook with memories of each of their lives from birth to the present. The purpose is to show each other their life journey up to the wedding. I have asked for pictures from both parents. As a beginner, I don't feel ready to create fantastic pages with the right focal point, composition, etc. I was hoping that you could narrow my search and point me to some of your favorite LO's for different life stages. I expect to have baby, silly kid moments, school years, birthday parties, graduation, falling in love and, of course, wedding photos. I am going for a very sentimental and elegant book and would be honored to have some of your LO's as a guide. All suggestions and feedback appreciated. Thank you.

Wow that is a huge project to take on for anyone. Have you considered using an instant album? There are some nice ones in the store (sorry can't link because it is down at the moment). Alternatively, check out the Quick Clicks. You can customise them a bit more and could mix and match tow or three through a whole album. I would definitely be looking to keep things simple and maybe pick one or two kits with easy to use colours to get a consistent feel throughout the album. Good luck with your project - what an amazing gift!

shazzt has great advice... I think an instant album or ploppers might be the way to go. It is a huge project, but such a GREAT idea!! They're going to love it for sure!

Thank you for your sweet compliment! This will definitely be a huge project, but your friends will absolutely LOVE it!!! Definitely quick clicks and instant albums will be very beneficial here. Let me think some too and see if I have any sample layouts or ideas.
