SHCG: Echo you are one handsome dude! Fabulous layout. He almost looks like he is actually behind the vines & flowers. I also like how elements from the photo are repeated in the layout. His eye is echoed in the round white shape. His scales echoed in the leaves. The shapes on the back of his neck echoed in the scallops. The page echos echo!
SHCG: What a cute lizard! I really like how you created the floral accent- it's very pretty. The only thing I would do differently is to dot or make stitches with a purple marker around the inside of the white circle. Great LO!
SHCG - Jen, this is AWESOME! I love how just these few elements together are so striking - the excellent photo, the monochromatic greens, then the accent of the blue/lavender for the title & framing the pic - incredible overall placement. The dimension of the flowers & title adds such interest. The cut vine & scallops are nice accents that look cool but don't upset the focus on the pic & title. As Brenda said, Echo looks posed for a portrait shot, love that! You did read my mind re: the date - I like Bren's suggestion but could also see it along the top or left photo edges, above the title "o" or perhaps just leave this fab LO as is. Sensational use of that sketch. You did a terrific job on this rockin page!
SHCG: I like the simplicity of this design, yet it also has a lot of interest. For example, the bg pp has a subtle detail to it as do the textured solid cs, further accentuated by the chippies and scallops. Really nice work cutting out all those details, btw. It has a nice color scheme, too; and kinda reminds me of the card you made for the BWC. I can see the date curving upward from the bottom right corner of the photo. Your pet has such a nice yellow tone I'd like to see picked up, either as the mat, as the scallops, or as little beads for the flower centers. I don't think I'd suggest all three, maybe try them all and take away whatever distracts from the photo. What a great name, it's almost as if it posed and smiled for the cam.
shcg: love the clean design of this. the colors are wonderful. I'd love to see some inking around the edge of the white circle, and maybe some detail on the vines just to add an extra punch to this. Beautifully done!
Great page. Visually arresting! Love the big tilt of the pic. Great use of white. I never think to use it as a color..... I always throw it into the background. I really like that you brought white to the foreground here.
The flowers, large petals and letters are chipboard and the vines along the edges of the photo were cut from a print-out of the sketch. The scalloped edge is made of punched circles. I couldn't decide on a good place to include the date, so right now it's just written on the back of the LO.
