SHCG: I love the way that you used a second photo as an etching. It looks great! I cannot make out the journaling here, but I am sure that it is fabulous.
SHCG: I really like your start- the watermarked photo in the background is awesome! I would suggest changing the journaling font to one that is more complimentary to the title font as well as more legible and to change the flowers in the ower right to ones that are more similar the others on the page.
SHCG: What you have done is just fabulous. My suggestions would be to change the bright colored flowers in the lower right hand corner to the white/rose ones you used on the rest of the page and make the text solid so it is easier to read.
SHCG: I'm wondering if what's troubling you is that your about this lo is that the dominant color is a neutral one. I've read that too much of a neutral color can dull the rest of the page. Instead, try going for a more dramatic color choice, like warm, yet muted, red tones. I'm with everybody else on the spell check, illegible journaling, and choosing either the bling or the floral flourishes, but not both. The timepiece is a nice touch, so it could use a little more attention on the page. Fantastic bg effect, Marsha!
SHCG: I totally agree with Marlene. Beautifully done. The background pic/watermark effect is such an awesome element. I do agree that the two lower right flowers are a major shock in contrast to the remaining LO, and I, too, would love to be able to read the journaling. Oh and typo on the title Treasred=Treasured. Otherwise, totally love the flowers along the right and the bottom, the clock element and the flourishes!
SHCG: I think this is so beautiful Marsha. I love the watermark effect of the picture, that's so neat! The only thing I can recommend is to have the font be more clear because I can't read the journaling and also to have the flowers on the bottom picture match more with the other flowers on the layout. I also love the bling, it looks so real and the clock!!!
SHCG - This is a really lovely start, Marsha. I like the vintage-feel you convey w/ the title font, swirls, flowers, pearls & background pic arranged w/ the smaller pic. I think there need to be a few elements that unify everything more. Since the accent colors seem to be pink & yellow, maybe have more of those - pink & yellow blooms near the title & more pink & yellow sprinkled through the flowers on the right & bottom sides (like maybe color an occasional flower w/ these colors). I also agree w/ Deborah that the journaling is tough to read; if you want to stick w/ the shadowed yellow, perhaps switch to an easier-to-read font (still itallicized or script to keep the swirliness), & consider adding some pink accents to the text as well, to tie it w/ the rest of the page. Finally, the title needs the corrected spelling of "treasured" (I don't normally correct spelling but you did ask for overall help in the LO thread so I'm offering it!). Wonderful work so far, I think it would only take a few tiny tweaks to push this from very good to really great! :)
SHCG: I love how the flourishes frame the page and how you did the photo blending. The clock works nicely with the page title, too! Is the journaling easier to read IRL? I can't make out the journaling, but it might be that it's difficult b/c its online. My only suggestion would be to work with a font for the title that matches a little more with the delicate flourishes and to italicize the title font to match the journaling. Other than that, this is a very sweet LO... Great job!!!
