OMG, WHERE did you find that icky green paper to match every hospital wall in every hospital I've stayed in?! And that "matching" icky peach?! I'm LMAO off though...hopefully never but (I know better) the next time I'm in a hospital room (hopefully visiting?) I WILL do that test facility equipment step, same facial expression, I promise! For me, having spent many days in a hospital doing the birth thing, I GET the simplicity of this layout...the *only* thing that makes a hospital have any excitement at all is the people aka the photos. Only thing, maybe, would be some icky blobs of "who knows what" in ink or dark chalk...just like those blotches I also saw on every wall & floor...I'd say rub some germs on it but that would be extra-icky.

First off, you are sooo taking me back to my programming logic class with this flow chart! I really like your whole concept here... However, I am torn. One half of me wants you to keep it as simple as possible staying with the true nature of flow charts. The other half wants more! Maybe some doodles to fill in space. Make it look more like something a high school student would create. You know, sitting in class with the teacher working on a flow chart and you are only half paying attention because you are doodling on all the free space of your page... Something like that...

This LO is too freaking cute! I love it! The colors are great, bright & bold. I would do some doodling, but straight doodling (no curves) around the outter edge, other than that, great idea!

This is so cute & fun!!The flow chart idea is soooo cool!!!

Brenda, this is fun lo! I dig the flowchart and the colors! I think you should make journaling strips under the 2 photos on the right the same as the photos-like the rest of them. I think you should make the " yes" and " no " strips the same width as the other journaling strips. I would put " gift in hand" on a circle and the " yes" and " no" on the arrows. I would love to see the title stand out a little bit more-change the font, make it bigger, printed directly on the salmon cs. Very funny lo!

Let me tell you that I love the idea here. Love the flow chart. I can see why you chose the color combo here, and I personally think it works with the LO. I like tiff's idea of the border, and I would do it thick and black like the signs are. If i was going to ink anything, I'd ink the white journaling blocks. Really like this and can't wait to see how you finish it up

Great idea! This flowchart could also go into the "funny" category! The "hospital green" bg paper sends it over the edge. Adding another mat (thin black) on the shapes, photos and journaling would really accentuate.

And with the color scheme I just mentioned I would use red font for the accent words and title.

Hi bren. The journaling is soo hilarious. I love the flowchart idea, it's too hilarious, especially to an engineer cause we're soo logical! Some quick comments: I love the strips but wish that they were all the same width. It's distracting that the Yes and No are 'taller' than the other ones. I also find the color scheme extremely unflattering. It feels like a hospital but I understand that's what you were going for. You are a good scrapper but I think you have the potential to be great and I think little things could make this a little better. A good design principle suggests that the outside margins should be the same, which means you should either move everything out to the side a little bit or squish things down {or remember this principle for later layouts}. I would also make the title pop by making some letters from your cricut. It doesn't have to match everything from the flowchart because we want it to pop. I love the minimal embellishments and the arrows. i dislike the double matting, but I think this is personal preference. I also think that for you journaling it would be cool to accent the action words either with a highlighter or different font color. So in the end of this rant, I totally love the idea, the journaling strips, the placement of everything {minus the margins}, and the story itself. But I think you should change the color. I would put black and white patterned paper as the background and use lime green for the shapes and make it funky like you :)

LOL! this is so funny .great, lo

This is tres cool, m'dear, very clever design that also suits the hospital theme. Love the adorable pics, coordinating hospitalerrific colors & clean lines. I love Tiff's idea of a thin border, I could see it drawn but also see it as a .25" white border all the way around, cut from white cs/paper. The space doesn't bother me but maybe disconnect the "gift in hand" diamond from the story path traced in your story & have the "gift in hand" "No" option fill the space...something like "Go home, feel foolish, fetch gift OR go to gift shop, choose gift. Resume back at circle/space #1" something like that, & have some kind of graphic, like the Ladies' Room paper doll sillouhette w/ an exclamation point or other marking of alarm (actually, the graphic might take too much focus from the pics & be inconsistent w/ them, so maybe just a box w/ the text in it would be better). So that this option fills the space but is NOT connected to your story path, only to the "Gift" diamond as the "No" path (make sense?!). Just an idea, feel free to disregard if ya ain't feelin me. Otherwise, soo excellent!

OMG this is fantastic! This is so funny and I love the flow chart. I love Tiffs idea of a thin border rather than inking the edges. I love that the page is really clean and simple and the colours work really well. I dont know what to do about the space. I honestly dont mind it. Love this LO!

OMG, Brenda. This is so innovative, as well as multi-photorific. You are so hot, missy. :kiss: I love the flowchart idea. It was so much fun to follow the pics and arrows around on the page. Especially love the testing of the equipment. Nice. Love the colors! Very hospital/sterile chic. I have a suggestion for the outside. I don't want it inked. You know how street signs and hospital signs have a very thin border about a quarter inch from the edge. I think that would totally work here. To make it ultra thin and to avoid moving the pics, maybe you could use a pen to do it. Feel me? Maybe in that little empty spot, maybe you could add a little sign that reads something along the lines of "gather a group of friends" and place it just under the line. It could be a white journaling mat mounted on that salmon in a rectangle to fill the space. I love this and the creative factor is WAY up there. Supa-Dupa-FLY!
