YAY!! I finally did my Album Layout!! (UPDATE)

Almost 8 1/2 months later and we finally did our album layout!! Only took us three hours and we only went $200 over in extras!


Now we only have 9 months till we get to review it I can't believe its going to take so long!!!

UPDATE!:

So we had a 2:00 Sat appt which we made forever ago!!! We get there and the woman whos supposed to work with us is with another couple who were making their daughters bat-mitzvah album. they tell us that someone else will start off the parent albums and then Kathy would be with us! Well Kathy never came to us (and mind u I went to the appt sick as not to miss it) and while who we had was FANTASTIC (super sweet and very helpful), she never did an album layout before. Shes reviewed them afterwards but never created one. She didn't know that there was no extra charge for more than one pic on a page, so at the very end we made 2 pages have more than one pic and the rest only have one. I left feeling happy but that night I just couldn;t sleep, feeling like more should've been done, blah blah blah. In the middle of the night, I also realized I went home with a proof of a pic that belongs in the parent albums So i called today and now i am going to go back for another appt to make sure everything is perfect!! I mean we paid A LOT of money and we should have the best possible album for what we paid! So waiting for a call on Wed to do it all over agian!! I just don't wanna hurt anyones feelings! Would u have done the same thing??? I'm also kinda pissed they double booked my freakin appt that I made a while ago!!!

Not Bad going over just $200.
It really is not That Much $$ if you think about some of the different up-grades.

i didn't do any digital pages!! They charge a freaking FORTUNE!!!!! I believe just ONE digital page is $175.00 (don't hold me to that but I'm pretty close)! So therefore I went more traditional- Theyy already costtons of money! Just to put a freakin pic on the cover of the album cost me $75.00 plus$22 for it being an extra pic They also charged $50 to have one of my butterfly photos black and white with the butterflies colored in! CRAZINESS!! Now I need to learn photoshop so I can make my own albums some day! But i don't know how the quality will be since the pics need to be scanned!

I felt the same way! Ours was soooo much extra for the digital layouts (i think they wanted 200 for a two pg layout). We just went traditional as well. I was a little bummed, but me and dh just couldn't justify spending the extra $ on it.
That pic with the butterflies in color is going to be awesome! I can't wait to see that.
