For my parent's 80th birthdays. I didn't have a lot of time to prepare this book, so I decided on a blue color scheme, and used two shades of blue and cream for the pages. I found some coordinating decorative papers, and computer generated others. I used 2 Peas Gift font for all titles, and placed them in the same position on each page.
