Oh, no Angie. I am not offended at your reaction to my jouranling. Finding humor in a bad situation is one healthy way to deal with it. I have never found a really healthy way to relate to my mil, so it is good to sometimes see the humor in it. We all have thorns in our sides and she is definitely a thorn in my side. But she produced a great son, so I can at least thank her for that.

I really like how you used the squares with this pp! However, I think that using a bluer paper instead of the teal would look a little better because of the blue sky in the photos. Well, I just read above why you didn't use a different color of blue, so now I understand. I really like the idea of maybe adding some squares to the left page and moving the bottom picture slightly. Other than that I think this is wonderful. Good thing to journal this sticky situation. I hope you don't think I'm terrible, but I had to chuckle a little at the last line of journaling. It is just so true and candid that it can also be a little humorous to look back on even if it is anything but humorous at the moment.

Relationship with mil is still dicey, but I have learned to minimize her impact on me. FIL (the better half of that relationship by far) died in 1998 right after dh began his ministry. You can read about his passing in Larry's album on the Ordination and Holy Trinity los.

I hope everything is ok with you and your in-laws now. I love the blocky pp you used and those squares. Aside from Leanne's suggestion, this is absolutely beautiful!

Why did I choose the aqua paper for my accents? Probably many reasons. First, the ocean to me represents more shades of blues and greens than I have ever seen anywhere else, ant that combination is what makes the ocean so beautiful. The patterned paper has some colors that are warmer that pick up the greens in the photos. Last, and most importantly, I hate light blue, so I would want to balance it with warmer colors on the page. I am a dynamic autumn and blue makes me look sick, so I have to put in lots of warm colors if I have any pictures of me in a blue layout. Since this lo was about conflict and reconcilitation between me and my mil, I needed to put a photo of me in the lo. I can not make a lube layout with me in it.

I like the design and placement of all your elements. The bricky paper in the background is especially nice. I'm curious why you chose the aqua paper for your accents, since I think it causes a little color tension with the warmer blue tones in the sky in all your pictures. I liked your journaling -- it seemed like a very discrete way to talk about an awkward situation. I hope things are better between you and your in-laws now.

I really like that you shared the difficult feelings between you and your MIL. It added so much more meaning to the layout. That's something people never could have known just by looking at the pics. The paper blocking looks great. These pics are beautiful. My only idea would be to move the bottom left pic on the left page over to the right so the left edge lines up with the left edge of the top pic and reconciliation block. Nice work!!!

I like what you did with that paper! I've had a piece with a style like that for a while and couldn't think of a thing to do with it. The squares in your layout have given me a good starting point. I really like the colors you have chosen. They're very light and earthy. My only suggestions would be to add another bit of hollowed squares on the left page and mat your second column of photos on your left page with that same blue-green paper you used on the right to unify the two pages a bit more (I also really like the color, so maybe I just want to see it more).
