My girlfriend asked me to make an album to commemorate her mother's 80th birthday party in February of 2012. Mom likes subdued colors without a lot of flash or fanfare. I knew just the paper to use (Simple Pleasures is retired now)!
All of the layouts came from Reflections, Cherish, and Imagine How-to programs.
The front cover included the invitation and a poem my girlfriend wrote.
Reflections "Main Frame - Quarter Circle" found on page 53.
Imagine - "Perfect Prelude" (page 26). The left page has been rotated 90 degrees clockwise.
Imagine - "Three Part Harmony" with the right page rotated 90 degrees clockwise. This two page layout can be found on page 44.
Cherish - "Kept in Proportion" with the two pages swapped. This pattern can be found on page 44.
Cherish - "Simple Contrast" with the left page rotated 90 degrees clockwise. This pattern is on page 28.
Reflections - The left page is "Title Topper - Heading" (pg 17) rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise. The right page is "Triple Play - Three is the Charm" on page 96.
This combination is also from Reflections. The left page is "Front & Center - in the Middle" (pg 76) while the right side is "Front & Center - Basic" (pg 78).
Reflections is once again utilized with the left page as "Main Frame - Tied Together" (pg 55) and the right page "Front & Center - Center Stage" found on page 75. The pictures were longer so I modified the measurements to accommodate those pictures.
Left page is Reflections "Quartet - Jigsaw" (pg113) with "Triple Play - Offset" (pg 98) on the right.
Left page is Reflections "Half & Half - Balanced" modified (pg 89) with "Treasure Pocket - Basic" (pg 118).
Reflections " Main Frame - Back Drop" (pg 58)
The final page includes a copy of Mom's painting, and another quote from my friend.
Bernice finally lost the battle with ALS muscular dystrophy on 3/31/13. She will be missed but always remembered as a wonderful woman and mother!
