Hi Sky. Nice to meet you. Your choises for paper here are great. Your embellishments match nicely. That friends title block is awesome. I love the chaulk and you proportioned your mat overhang perfectly. Your problem is the layout design. I'll give my usual disclaimer of it's hard to know for sure what would look good until you play with it. Brother is too big a word to crunch to the side and then you had to bring the second part of the title down to fill space. So they look a little disconnected. I would have tried a different photo placement which left you with more area across the top for your title's. You could bring the larger photo over to the left and down, and place the left lower corner under the right top corner of the smaller photo. So they overlap, KWIM. By doing this you free up room for your title. Then you could extend Brother across the page. I love how "friends" block extends off the page, but with the above change I would have tried to place it just under Brother and off the page on the right side. Of course that would have meant switching the embellies to the other end of the block. Your date at the bottom looks a little squished. I would have tried this under the large photo in the lower right corner of the layout. This all would require you to move the frame embelli somewhere to the left side of the page where your "friends" block used to be. Otherwise I wouldn't change a thing HEHE. I'm sure it's too late this time, but maybe in the future this advice will help. Thanks for allowing me to comment. Melisa :wink:
What a great LO, really like the paper used, and ofcourse that wonderful photo. They do looks like a joyous handful ;) I know our little guy is a chuckle by himeself. Really enjoyed the LO thanks for sharing.

Great LO! I love the distressing. What if you stacked the letters to brothers and moved to the left so the larger pic could move from edge. I love the striped paper -like jen said -very boy-ness! Great job here!
You are amazing at choosing complimentary pp!! This LO is very cute - I would maybe add something else between brother and friends, it looks a tiny bit unbalanced or something. Otherwise... so cute! Love the torn paper and frame turned sideways. Great details!
I like the firend tag where it is it gives stability to the page. But the large photo on the right does need something slightly overlapping it to draw balance to the center of the layout without taking away from the photo. Use your instinct girl. LOve the colors and great use of detail!!!
I really like this lo, especially the little tabs on your focal picture. They really work here. Personally, I like the way the "Friends" tag breaks the line on the left hand side, for what it's worth.
I love those pps! They are great masculine colors! I like jen's suggestion if you do have some journaling. Otherwise, I think Dawn's suggestion is great. I love that torn paper and the friends accent! Great work!
I love the pps you chose for this LO. THose pictures of your sons are too cute. I like the idea of moving the friends accent and putting something under the title to kind of underline it or draw attention. What great details to your LO. Great job!!!
Terrific lo! LOVE the masculine colors and pps you used. I like Dawn's idea of moving the friends tag up and putting it on vertically to help balance the space. Love the torn paper and the diamond too :)
Sky, those photos are absolutely adorable!! The pattern paper combination you chose for them is fantastic. bdhardy's suggestions to group the title with some embellishments are great -- they'll add more weight there. Please forgive me if these changes are too much. I have the urge to rearrange the title elements so that they are grouped in one space, and for that lovely torn bottom corner to hold handwritten journaling at the bottom. The always diamond can be placed next to the friends strip and overlap the photo. The primas or a big ivory silk flower would be a great embellishment at the top to fill the negative space but still allow the great pattern to come through. It's hard to balance a lot of different font styles and embellishments, but you coordinate the colors beautifully. That striped paper you chose, with the torn paper corner is a gorgeous combination and lends a great sense of energy and boy-ness!
Again I love the design and the paper combo!! I also like that FRIENDS tag but I think it needs to be moved closer to the middle of your LO and maybe have it running from top to bottom instead of across the LO!! But otherwise this is one fabulous LO and those pic's of your ds's is really adorable!! wtg!! Keep them LO's coming!!
What cute kids! I love the distressing on the torn paper and the date on the bottom. Perhaps something under the title? Like a row of 3 primas with a metal eyelet or brad in the middle of each flower? Or maybe you could move the friends tag over towards the photo and move it up towards the Brothers and dangle a charm/tag from it? The photo clips are great!
