It's really hard to scrapbook steam.
I used the MIR Template Album because it comes in spreads, so that means a lot of the design decision-making is done for me. On this layout, after removing the calendar and large alpha that comes with each spread, I started with the gutter, putting in a few Fotoblendz Overlays in order to get the photo down the centerline. Usually the centerline is something I do last in a photo book, but on this spread, I wanted a statement of the geothermal activity going across the page. It is REALLY HARD to document steam and spray! After figuring out the photo progression, I used the spread pretty much as it was designed, just removing the hipster plumes and most of the optional labels. To finish up I added the background, Edge Brushes, the word labels, and a few buttons.
