I've been busy prepping my Jan-Jun book for printing, so getting back into a regular page was tough...my process is put the photos on the pages, then look for a good template match - for this many photos, I chose FotoInspired 3M, pages 12 (left) and 8 (right). Most of the masks were turned off, and several frames were used as background for extractions (done by iPhone). And of course size adjustments and nudging things around. I tried several palettes before deciding on Jouer for the blues. All photos were levels adjusted, and I added lots of notions, making them all rather golden, some by Heu Adjustments, some by adding a Color Overlay.
