Cocktails

I'm sorry I missed this earlier love. You probably will never see this *sigh* but... I also love the texture and the whole "tiki" thing. Here's my suggestion. I have noticed that you are a sticker fan, which is fine and they are hard to resist, I know. Instead of your free-floating sticker placement, however, why not try placing them in clusters instead? I find that this most often looks better than one here and one there. For instance, in this case I do see the pictures first, which is great, then my eye goes down the title (love your use of the cocktail glass as the "i"), but then I get hung up between the lovely journaling block, the two stickers and the empty spaces. I waver around the journaling, kwim? I would have used that entire package of stickers on this LO. Yes, I know, sounds tacky and it's always hard to use up an entire package of those, because you want to save some of them for "something else later", but bear with me here. A cluster at the top and a cluster at the bottom moving the eye along the entire bottom. Or, actually, you could just leave the mask on to as the only thing there and use the rest along the bottom. Yes, even the little grass skirt and coconut bra... why not? Are you sharing my vision? Probably not. But, I would encourage you to test-drive my theory on a future LO, just to see how you like it! Fin...

This is a really fun layout. Makes you wish you'd been invited. Wouldn't make any changes.

Is my margarita on the table there somewhere? Love this lo, its so FUN! I doubt I would have ever thought of the TIKI theme but it fits perfectly! Great job!

Brenda, I soooooooo am digging the texture of this one. The mat is so tropical and the stickers DEVINE! I wouldn't change one darn thing about this except put me in the darn picture so I can have a couple of 'tails. The only cocktail parties that I have these days involve a sippy cup and dino-nuggets! Great LO! You are the top of the TIKI-girlfriend!

Love how you stuck with the theme throughout all of the embellies and pp. I also like how you used a drink for the I, looks great to me!

Ooh, this brings back memories (and some "forgets" too!) I occasionally miss the Friday nights with the non-profit gang and, yes, learned lots about them...and what a drop-shot was...I love the tiki feel to this and the cocktail that you used for an I. Dang, you've made me thirsty & it's only 10 a.m. ;-)

love the journaling box with the pineapple. You rocked the photo placement grrrl. I see some photo corners on the photo group to pop it up a bit. That looks like so much fun at that happy hour!
