shcg: i love your style. using a very few elements and it really looks complete. i agree there needs to be a solid mat under the pic. maybe a little journaling in the upper right corner too. by the way, i like the brad too.
SHCG: I think some soild cs under the strip of floral pp and as a mat for the photo would help this feel more cohesive and less busy. Very cute LO- and your brad is great! :)
SHCG: I think a solid pp here would help the busy-ness of this & even things out. I'm not sure on the brad, not loving it, not hating it. Either way, this is very cute!
SHCG: I'd love to see the photo matted with that powder blue or in the sage green. Maybe it is me, but I am not troubled by that brad. In fact, I think it is gloriously brad-tastic. I would like a date, though. This is fantastic! Once again, something that I am sure that your nieces will treasure!
SHCG: I have that bg pp in a different color scheme, and you used it so nicely here, pairing it with that floral pp, and embellished with that great solar piece. I may be in the minority, but I actually don't mind that brad at all. It looks like a textured button. In fact, I think this page could use more texture, like a paper lace photo mat, torn edges on the floral pp, and actual stitching. For the stitching, follow the floral section of that bg pp above the man in the photo, and continue the stitching onto the photo itself.
SHCG - I think you're doing well w/ the girly elements! The pp is beautiful. The brad's not my favorite but I think it works fine. I like Jen's suggestion of adding a matte around the photo for definition, maybe a solid rose or green that echoes the pp. Then choose the color you don't pick for the photo matte & make a solid matte for the brad/heart/sun/star cluster; that would help it stand out more from the rose pp since the heart pp is so similar & blends into it. What a pretty vintage-y page!
SHCG: I also agree the brad is a bit much - I would also maybe try matting your photo or inking your edges to create a bit of definition. The title is perfect!
shcg: I agree with you on that brad. It's too much for right there. Some distressing (ink, etc.) would help the flowery pp not get lost on he background, I think. I like the title box layers.
