Another Digital Album in the Books

About a month ago, I finally finished a digital album that chronicled my adventures last summer.  My college friend, Rebecca, and I completed a National Parks "marathon."  I had hundreds of pictures that captured our journey through 3 states and 9 National Parks/Monuments in 7 days. 

The key to any digital album is in the artwork! Before I begin designing pages, I always browse through Creative Memories amazing collection of art online.  I try to find the best art to match the theme of my photos. For this album, I found two perfect collections...
"Wilderness Walk"

"Rugged Outdoors"
Once I have the artwork set, I find it speeds up the design process, as it limit my choices.   Of course, I mixed in some art from other packages for several pages, but I loved the earthy tones from Wilderness Walk and Rugged Outdoors.  They worked well with all my outdoor shots from my trip.





And the best part of finishing a digital book is being able to order a duplicate copy for the person you shared your adventure with!  Here's Rebecca with her copy {a very belated Christmas gift}...  If only I could have been there to see her reaction and re-live all the memories with her!

"I love Creative Memories, too!"
And that's the power of a Storybook!
