SHCG: MY first reaction was ohhhhhh great, soothing color combo. LUV the earthy photo. great old fashion paper which reminds me of old fashion wall paper. Great use of color without clumbering us over the head.
SHCG: I love the background paper, that pattern is one of my favs. Love the barcode on the bottom. I think you could add something to the stips on the bottom, maybe at the ends like brads or something. And the big orange circle needs something else, not sure what though. I do love the butterflies, maybe take the circle away and make a trail of butterflies. :)
SHCG: Did you reuse a file folder? Neat idea. I like the tones you've used here. Just thinking off the top here: I'm wondering if blue butterflies would help to tone down that orange circle though and move them over to the pic to keep the attention on her. I'd also like to see those strips at the bottom move up so that all of the elements you use on your page are overlapping and layered in some way. Maybe even connect the left ends of the strips by crisscrossing fibers and/or wrap some blue fibers around the orange circle. Finally, I think a little journaling about why/how you've lost touch, but that kinda thing would probably be a personal call. I don't think I could bring myself to create an album like this, so I definitely admire you for it.
SHCG: I think the placement of all your elements is perfect! I do agree that the blue pp doesn't really seem to fit with the polka dots - I sort of feel like this also needs a small dose of a more vibrant color to balance out all the pastels.
SHCG: The backgound pp doesn't seem to 'go' with the rest of the elements, IMHO. I'd also like to know more about her. I really like the polka dot papers and the circle with the punched out butterflies. They coordinate nicely with the photo.
SHCG - Ooh, I love the soft palette & patterns here, it imparts a nice vintagey feel. That dotted pp frames the pic nicely. The embellies are lovely. Like Chris, I would like a line of journaling that says who this person was to you; the logical location would be on the kraft strip that is blank but I'm wondering if somewhere around the orange circle would work. I think per the rule of thirds, the 2 butterflies on the circle could be complemented w/ another butterfly or flower in the circle. Maybe add another embellie on the upper left part of the photo to complete a visual triangle around the pic. I kind of like the barcode at the bottom (I imagine that's just where it is on the pp), as we know you like to reuse materials in your work, so to me it is very "Brian." Beautiful & dreamy!
shcg: I can understand why you're stuck on this one. Some things to point out: the kraft strips under the photo seem out of place/disconnected, I'm curious as to the barcode on the left bottom, and I really think that you need to include some journaling (why was she your friend, etc.).
