The Big Project

Well, I was up to my eyeballs with this project for weeks before Christmas! Even though many of the layouts are ones you may have seen posted here before I made more than half of them just for this project ... or edited ones that I had completed previously. I gave myself a deadline of December 10th to complete it in order to get the finished product back in time ... and I actually finished uploading and ordering by December 9th!! I was very proud of myself not only for finishing it - I think Steve really questioned whether or not it would actually happen - but finishing a day early.

What is it, you ask? I created a hard bound book at Shutterfly to give to our parents for Christmas. It was a "year in review" of sorts. It contained layouts from the many events and fun times we had over the course of 2007. It was a pretty big year for us with our first baptism and the arrival of our fourth baby!! We had visits from both sets of parents, birthdays, and other holidays to celebrate, too. Each book was over 20 pages and I was absolutely thrilled with the final outcome. Shutterfly does such an amazing job with their books ... I will order from them again and again! After I get our Christmas scrapbooked I will add the pages to this book and have a copy printed for our family to keep. It was my first big project in digital scrapbooking and made me realize even more just why I love it so much!
