Need opinions on Album (UPDATED with pics on 2nd page as per suggestions)

I started our day after album layout and I'm finally settling on a style signature of my own which is exciting. I tend to like simpler layouts with a little bit of Photoshop work but not too much and i stay away from busy layouts because it gives me a headache if too much is going on.

I want a classic timeless look with a modern edge but I don't want it to be boring. So i want to post a few and get opinions. TIA girls.

ETA: Updated with pics down below. They were too big so had to resize.

This is what I meant..
Not saying you should do it. I just love the artistic contrast

Thanks for the ideas Jenn!

Aww don't freak. I mean if you're not familiar with photoshop and dimensions well, I'd say stick to much simpler layouts-you're better off. You can still have an amazing album and keep it simpel without the PS work. I have a disadvantage; I am a designer so my albums are more advanced but even using software for the programs you can do great stuff. Don't get discouraged.

FM me if you need anything.

I think your ideas are great and the pictures are spectacular.

Can I ask (as a eager amateur photog) what program are you going to use to make this album? TIA!
