What fun, bright papers! I do agree with Jas that using a different color for the main background would probably work better though so that the bright doesn't overwhelm the photos. I really like how you angled one pic on each page and then left the others straight. In my opinion, your los are a GREAT kind of clutter, because they aren't really cluttered at all. You do use a lot of pics per lo, but they are always arranged in such a way that it feels very organized in design and not just random chaos. That is something that I really really like about your scrapping style. It is true that this particular page doesn't seem to have a single focal point, but maybe you want each pic to have equal weight, so I think it is fine. If you did want to enlarge one as a focal point, I really love the one of her almost biting the cake!

I really like the color choices. I think they help make the layout festive and offset the fact that the photos don't have a lot of fascinating action (a perpetual problem for the very important traditional sitting-around-the-table-in-front-of-the-cake photos). It's a huge problem and the reason I haven't scrapped either of Meg's birthday parties! I have the hardest time saying goodbye to photos I love that just don't make the first cut for my layout. I think your stickers get kind of lost against the bright colors however. I wonder if you would consider enlarging one or two of the photos though and shrinking some of the others to create a focal point. I think that might help make this a little more accessible.

I have a tendency to do multiple photos in each layout. Often, I will use only one if it is stupendous, if that one photo communicates the whole message, or if I have a very limited supply of photos. I favor 2 page layouts because it gives me more space and allows me to tell more of the story, but I can see that nowadays, there is a trend toward single photo layouts, and that some people might think my work is sort of cluttered. I just hope it is a good kind of clutter - the 'cup running over' kind of clutter.

I like the colors that you chose. They're very vibrant and from what you have shared of your granddaughter, they match her personality! I do like your cropping of the balloon in one of the photos. It gives it a bit of a 3-d effect. I'm just wondering because I've seen so many of your layouts as double-page layouts on one event, but do you ever do a layout of just one or two photos, or several layouts of one event? Do you ever do one page layouts?

I love your unique style it works so well! The color pallette was a great choice. Very fun. The creative photo cropping adds dimension and contrast!

I love how you always got good journaling in your pages! Totally makes these events memorable! One thing tho', the colors are a little bright such that it overpowers the photos. I would change my background cs to a less powerful color than orange...thinking out loud, I think black would look good here. If the colors still look a bit bright, perhaps you can just tone the rest down a bit by decreasing opacity. HTH!
