My daughter and SIL moved Cave Glow, their candle-making studio, to a historic riverfront town here in the Hudson Valley, and yesterday I helped them get things ready for the Grand Opening this weekend. The shop comes with a tiny retail space—for years they've been selling their products wholesale/online only, so this is a whole new adventure.

I used a Multiphoto Template Album for this layout—both Albums #1 and #2 are on rotation in my memory-keeping because they're so fast to use and such workhorses. I made small modifications to the template as always to suit my photos, decided on a color scheme that would work with the photos, and added embellishments and brushwork to support it. I kept to one color when recoloring the stains...a blue to go with their gorgeous antique sideboard. I gave myself two hours to make this, and beat my challenge by ten minutes.
