Omg, Lynnette. I could hug you right now. Just yesterday I discovered your A Week In the Life project, showed it to my mom, and said "I want to do this SO badly, but I really, honestly, truly do NOT have the know-how to design a book like that. I wish she would make templates so I can have a pretty book like hers."
See, my mom loves that scrapbooking is my creative outlet, and she likes the wall art and such that I can make, but it bugs her when I have so many embellishments next to my pictures- it takes away from the photos in her mind. She LOVED your album, and really wants a similar one, so that will be PERFECT.
