It's a no win (2007)

Cheers

SHCG: So simple and yet so terrifically awesome. Love your colors here and adore the tic-tac-toe thing you got going on the pictures. Love how all the arrows bring your eyes right to the pictures. I wouldn't change a thing.

Great, great, great!!!!!! The camera lens doesn't hate you, you are beautiful.

January 02, 2008

Very clever!

January 01, 2008

This is funny!

December 30, 2007

Funny lo! Love the design and how you did your journal block!

December 29, 2007

Fantastic!

December 25, 2007

Original and beautiful! Great idea!

December 20, 2007

such a clever idea! love it!

December 15, 2007

Fun LO!

December 15, 2007

This is sooooo cool!!! I love the 6x12 format, and your design ROCKS!!!

December 14, 2007

So creative! I totally know how you feel!

December 13, 2007

Heee, I can completely relate!! Try having someone take your picture from above, for instance them on a second floor, you on the first looking up and over your shoulder towards them. Seems like all the pics of myself that I like are taken from this sort of angle.

December 12, 2007

I did something like this a couple of years ago. But my them is that my son is a winner not a no win.

December 12, 2007

interesting!

December 11, 2007

lol!! What a great idea!! Love it!

December 11, 2007

Very creative!

December 11, 2007

SHCG: This is fantabulous! I love everything about it! What a hilarious look at something that I am sure we can all relate to...at least I know that I can! I'd love to see some outlining or inking around some to the embellishments to make the stand out a bit more. Otherwise, I think this is perfect! Ab Fab!

December 10, 2007

Neat lo design, fun topic!

December 10, 2007

I feel the same way! Love this design and the x's and o's.

December 10, 2007

SHCG: LUV the simple colors and the distressing. Next time Vogue for the camera (strike poses in campy imitation of fashion models).

December 10, 2007

SHCG: OMG! I have the exact same problem! I think one out of every 30 photos of me are acceptable. I love the idea, the journaling, the "x's & o's", everything about this LO is cool!

December 10, 2007

LOL very funny

December 10, 2007

December 08, 2007

lol melissa - great documentary! great photo corners too

December 08, 2007

LOL!! Too funny! I feel the same way most of the time. That's why when I do take a great pic, I make a point to scrap it!! What a unique size and design, great idea using the photo corners as arrows. Great lo!

December 07, 2007

I love this lo! The camera doesn't hate you! Love it and it will love you back. Or do like me - get real, real friendly with Photoshop! LOL

December 07, 2007

Does it take a long time to get you to smile to take your picture? Just kidding? Journaling is great!

December 07, 2007

Great Page!!!

December 06, 2007

What a neat page! Great job on the challenge!

December 06, 2007

cute LO Idea

December 06, 2007

Very creative page, I have the same problem! Great idea!!

December 06, 2007

Ok first it's totally hilarious. I agree, the camera hates me all the time!!! I just love how you did the title!

December 06, 2007

Funny LO. I like the last pic of you with your tongue out best. :)

December 06, 2007

wow this is fabulous!!! how creative!! love it!

December 06, 2007

So cool!! I have the same problem. I usually look like I am eating like a pig or yelling in my pics!!

December 06, 2007

So stinkin' clever!!!!!!!!! I feel your pain, I cannot get a good pic of me...hardly EVER!!!

December 06, 2007

Very creative!! Love the tic tac toe and the arrows! Great job! TFS

December 06, 2007

SHCG: Wow, what a creative LO ~ love the tic tac toe, arrows and brackets. Great job :)

December 06, 2007

I'm the same!!! I had to send a good qulaity pic of myself to a magazine for publishing and it took 35 attepts to get one which was semi-decent!! Love your design. It's a fantastic idea!!

December 06, 2007

SHCG - What an incredibly innovative design! I love the tic tac toe/multiple pics idea to convey your thoughts, the arrows leading up to the pics of your (lovely, IMO) mug, all the color choices & the lined paper journaling. Now I'm rather an ink junkie, so I could visualize some inking around the outer perimeter of the photos, as well as around the title & journaling block, but that's just a suggestion based on my preferences. Outstanding work, Guv'nah!

December 06, 2007

This is so fun!

December 06, 2007

Awww, what a cute lo!! Love the creativity!

December 06, 2007

SHCG: This is a beautiful page and I think every one of the pictures on this page is beautiful and unique. I love the creativity you used by turning your pictures into a tic tac toe board and also love how you used the brackets as arrows to draw the viewers attention to your pictures. The only thing I had trouble with when I looked at your page was following the direction of the titling...once I figured it out I got it, but maybe you could make it a little more bold to catch the attention...

December 06, 2007

SHCG: Love this lo! I'm the same way! Aren't we all?!?!?! Anyways, back to the lo-I love everything about it-the brackets, the photos, the photo corners, the journaling block and the inking! Great lo!

December 06, 2007

Great lo. Pics of myself...yuck! We're our own worst critics.

December 06, 2007

Yep, I'm not very photogenic either. But this page is awesome! :)

December 06, 2007

I agree with your journaling,I HATE pics of myself! Love the block of pics and the arrows and brackets!

December 06, 2007

I'm with you on this one! I can't stand my own pics! This is a super creative layout! Love the design!

December 06, 2007

I think every picture of me is bad too, but I'm trying to get in front of the camera more. I think we're too hard on ourselves. Your lo is very cool. Love how you used the photo corners as arrows!

December 06, 2007

love the stripes

December 06, 2007

You need to learn to love yourself. Stand in front of the mirror everyday and try to admire something about yourself that you like and build up from there. Eventually you will learn to admire whom God created -- I know, been there.

December 06, 2007

Very creative, funny and beautiful design! Love everything about it and the use of photo corners are great!

December 06, 2007

this is soooo creative. love it

December 05, 2007

Don't be so hard on yourself!!! I think EVERY pic of me is bad...but one day, you'll be glad you have pics! Very nice layout!

December 05, 2007

SHCG: I can totally relate to this! And, I appreciate that you scrapped it. I love the tic tac toe idea, the journaling block shape and pp, and the corrugated look to the bg cs. I like how the chevrons direct the attention towards the photo, and those circles in the bottom (though I can't figure out what purpose they serve other than they're a nice touch). My only critique is that the top left and top center photos are very similar. I'd consider switching out that top center photo with one of you that doesn't include that pained grimace, but one where you're looking straight at the camera with a Mona Lisa smile. I think it'll make your message that much more powerful to have this one variation.

December 05, 2007

Funny! I have the same problem most of the time. This is really a great idea!

December 05, 2007

This is so creative...love it!!!

December 05, 2007

I feel the same way! I think, "could I really be that ugly??" Surely not... at least I hope not! What an awesome LO... I should totally lift this one! :)
