I've finally committed to an 8.5x8.5 inch page size and a 9x9 cover. I wanted to allow generous space for the many 5x7 photos; this size does it. There were several binding options available and in the end decided to use the Bind-it-All. There's less chance of error, still presents very well, and frees me from also learning a complicated binding method. Maybe later, but there's probably too much going on for a novice anyway.
The inside cover of the album was to feature a 5x7 of my parents wedding, followed with a facing page containing the hospital certificate of birth. This plan fell at first stroke. The certificate size is 8.5x6.5. There's zero wiggle room for the document on the 8x8 page. The only way this will fit is if it's placed on either the front or back cover page, which will be just large enough to make it work. It's disappointing, but there will be jigs in the chronology. It could be worse. So it was back to the drawing table.

All designs until today existed on plain printer paper. I pulled out the designer paper loosely arranged the elements of the first page, and - whoa! This is very, very nice, indeed.
For the wedding page, I deviated from the Little Darlings paper and pulled out a few pages of the Le Romantique. It seems the two work well together, or at least won't clash. Pretty, huh?
I filmed, but have not uploaded tonight's YouTube video. Perhaps tomorrow afternoon. We had some very serious girl time today, it's been an insane week.
