Oh, the dangers of being smug.  Pride goes before a fall. Don't count your chickens until they're hatched. Check, check and check again!! My 2017 photobook arrived yesterday. Oh, I am so proud of myself for completing my second year. Happily I thumb through all the lovely pages, as my husband untangles the Christmas tree lights. In March I burst out laughing...  My husband says this is the new phrase for any big job undertaken in 2018  Yes, The Bog Ob arrives with a bang... Fortunately he only finds one other minor spelling error in the other 79 pages. Which is nothing compared to the howler that is the cover!  Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear  I really am going to make a cover for this year that says 2018 - Part 2 - I think it could be fun! If you'd like to see more about the photobook it's here Scrapbook 2017 Photobook  |

Lovely book.
Getting caught up in the photos and page design and missing typos is nothing new to me. I can even do typos with a pen! My family is still giving me grief ( lovingly of course) b/c on last year's family calendar I wrote in dd's age on her birthday as 14 (the date) instead of her actual age. And I often get the year wrong in journaling this time of year.

You have such a good attitude about it! 😂
I would probably have myself a pity party tantrum.

I know a few people who would have been happy to skip 2017 altogether, so maybe your cover would have been welcome in their cases.
Wishing you a happy and healthy 2018 (part deux! )

That is a lovely book. But the wrong date on the cover would bug me so much I'd either order another corrected one or try to 3D embellish the cover with the correct year. Yikes!
Your digital work is fabulous!

I love that your DH actually reads the book, most just thumb through!! He read every page - and what's more, enjoyed it! I'm lucky, he's very supportive; to the tune of buying my Photoshop/Lightroom subscription  That is a lovely book. But the wrong date on the cover would bug me so much I'd either order another corrected one or try to 3D embellish the cover with the correct year. Yikes! Your digital work is fabulous! I thought it would bother me too, but not £32 of bother  And once it's on the shelf you don't really notice. It was only because I was counting the books so far I realised my mistake. All the time we were reading it and I was patting myself on the back it didn't register it was the wrong year.  |

All the time we were reading it and I was patting myself on the back it didn't register it was the wrong year. It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out what the problem on the cover was. It looked great to me! doh! It's a really easy mistake to make and a really difficult one to spot without fresh eyes. |

I also didn't notice the 2018 at first either - probably because in my job I've been talking about and working on 2018 since April 2017. Your album looks lovely, even with the errors.

I agree with everything that's been said. Love your approach, JaneB - and you have your first story for this year ;-) Lovely book! |

Oh, rats!!
I have yet to make a year in review book without an error somewhere, no matter how careful I am.

I did the year thing on the cover, as well. I was SO mad when I got it! LOL.

As pointed out above....what a wonderful opportunity to use embellishments to hide/cover/correct the year! Make some lemonade!
Your work looks great.
