Jeremy contacted me to do his wife's blog book as a Christmas present. We were able to agree on a color scheme and style pretty quick. Our designer Chalese put in some late nights to make sure that we met his deadline to get this in time for Christmas. Thank you so much for being such a joy to work for, I hope she likes it!
Ok, my blog book is usually the last of the season and I am so excited to have finally finished it! My family is excited I finished it. To me it is the kind of thing that you would grab in case of a fire ... but you don't have to because it is available to buy again online! I love that I don't have to cut up my pictures and I can order copies for all my kids.
This was the first time working with Suzanna and she was so awesome. She needed this travel blog book done as a gift by a tight deadline and we were able to accommodate her schedule because she was quick in getting us everything we needed and was prompt in her replies and proofing, making it possible to get this book done and to print within a short time. She wrote me a sweet note once the book arrived too ...
"I received the book Friday. It looks so good I could cry! Thank you for doing such an amazing job so quickly. I am beyond happy with the result. I will definitely keep you in mind for future projects! (I now feel inspired to organize the rest of my life photos...you will probably be hearing form me again soon!)"
I thought it would be fun to create this cover using a stockphoto of an old suitcase and then put her photos inside and personalize the outside. We used old maps to decorate the background of the cover and pages.
Again, another 3rd book from a family. This is the Darby family and this is their latest edition to the set they are creating, check out thier 2008 & 2009 covers at the bottom. LOVE this set! It also shows a great example of how black can really make your pictures stand out.
