KRJ Benefit - More Pre-made Albums!

Today was my first day back to work after our Door County vacation. I would have so much rather stayed in bed until 10 and spent the rest of the day with Jason and Owen, but I've gotta work, I guess.
Jas didn't work, so when I got home he had dinner ready (made with fresh zucchini!) with a glass of wine. The glass of wine was for my "transition out of vacation mode" according to him. To which I replied "I refuse to leave vacation mode".
So, in the spirit of that, we had these for desert tonight....including fresh raspberries. Seriously, does summer have to end?


Now, on to more pre-made albums for the benefit. These are the two wedding albums I made. I tried to keep them sort of classic-looking, and they are made for 4x6 pics, so I am hoping they appeal to some non-scrappers.
This one is an 8x8, and many of the pages can be flipped according to the kind of pic you happen to have. I really like that feature :) It has a fairytale theme and would work well for a wedding from 2010 or 1910. I like that feature too.
I used some pretty "old" K&Co patterned paper that I've had around and have loved, and some shimmery Bazzill. I mixed cream and white too, hoping to make it work for everyone.








This next one is 12x12, and has a rather classic theme as well. I kept the design super simple again, mostly to get it done really fast, but hopefully so it doesn't look too daunting for the non-scrapper. It has a "Wedding Icon" theme, which I normally don't like, but I really do enjoy the way it turned out. Very classic. Kinda glamorous. Lots of sparkle and shimmer.
Again, mixed cream and white, with only black, silver, grey. The album and some embellies are Making Memories, and I used the cricut (and Kaity's wedding solutions cart - thanks!! :)) for some of the icons. Then just some simple satin ribobon. Lemme know what you think.










Thanks so much for looking - I'd love some feedback on your tips on making pre-made albums for non-scrappers, or any projects that might go well at a silent auction.
Thanks!

KRJ Benefit 2009 - WARNING! MEGA PHOTO HEAVY!

Spread the word!
This Sunday, August 9th from 2-7 pm, there will be a benefit for my amazing cousin Kaity. She has been aggressively battling a brain tumor that was found early this year. It has been a very difficult journey for her - and for our whole family. Of course, the medical expenses have been huge and we are hoping the community can help Kaitlin with some of this debt. It's pretty shocking how little support there is out there for someone like her. She worked full time, had insurance, and lived on her own, and there was no government aid for her. Pretty sad.
Please visit the website for all the details - www.krjbenefit.webs.com

I've been working furiously to get some pre-made scrapbooks ready for the silent auction, and I thought I'd showcase them here.
Here are some some Summer-themed mini albums, all made with 5x7 paper albums. They'll fit a 4x6 photo on each page.
This was has a girly Summer theme:



This one is slightly more boy-ish, but could work for a while family summer trip as well:



These two are 6x6, so some of the pages can be flipped to accomodate horizontal or vertical photos. Again, one is more boy-ish and one more girly.










I have tons more in the works and actually more completed. Baby, wedding, birthday....and on and on. Tomorrow will be the wedding albums - please come tomorrow and check it out, and please stop by the benefit or the benefit website to donate! ANY donation is so appreciated. Thanks for reading!
