Make it your own

Wedding’s can be expensive, and one of the most expensive items on your budget list may be the photography. Why not save yourself a little bit of money, and give your wedding album your own personal touch!

I am currently using this program to put our wedding album together and I HIGHLY recommend it. It is from the company PICABOO. It is a down-loadable on-line software that allows you to create your own albums, scrapbooks, or stories from scratch. They’ll provide you with basic templates, cover options, etc. You will also be able to choose from hundreds of backgrounds and neat options to make it unique. If you’re a little weary about creating your own photobook, rest assured if I can do it, you can!

You have the option to preview some photobooks that others have worked on, as well as their suggested ideas on how to create your own.

My hometown is getting some love

The Design Sponge blog has posted a 3 part series on Austin, Texas in their “regional roundup” section. They interview local artists and business owners in the area, and ask them about inspiration, design and more. It’s good to know there are so many people who love this city as much as I do.

Austin is the live music capital of the world, home to the University of Texas Longhorns, a beautiful hill country, insanely good food, art and so much more. Sandra Bullock and Lance Armstrong call it their home to name a few, and fit in like the average person would. Every-time I go back, I don’t want to leave. Maybe someday I’ll be back in Austin for good!

Check out what these talented designers and business owners have to say about Austin.
