One Amazing Year

I should have looked at the 2 lo's together before I posted a comment on the singles. Scratch my other posts. This looks really good together. I think making all the photos the same color would go a long way to encourage the "ad theme." You did a great job cropping the photos and I love the title font.

I think this is a great idea. I agree that turning them black and white would make for an even more stunning page. I think I would also make sure that all the photos were cropped to the same size...I'm big on that, so it might be my nerdy thing, and I never did find the ad that you scraplifted from. I think the timeline across the bottom would be great as well! I think this is a fabulous page and a great start!

Great idea for a page! I like the idea suggested to use blue paper instead of white...I think the photos would stand out more against blue. I REALLY like Heather's suggestion of drawing a line down from the top words and over to the bottom words connecting them. I agree that turning the photos all sepia or b/w would make it look sleeker, BUT I personally really like the brightness of the colored photos here. I guess it's all about what look you are going for here. This is a great page...love the simplicity of it!

everyone has great ideas! I love your idea of the interactive timeline. And i agree with the rest to convert these to B&W or sepia. and also navy blue as background would definitely go well with these. Thanks for sharing

LFS, this LO is a definite eyecatcher (couldn't see the ad, but i think i get the idea) I LOVE all the photos you've captured. i like the idea of taking out some of the photos from the same event to give room for the interactive timeline... but also to have more baby photos to scrap with! Some of those are amazing and truly worthy of one-pic layouts. i really like the idea of changing the pics to all black and white, but if that's not possible, i'd go with the blue background too, with white stickers or rub-ons for that elegant title you've got. Navy blue is practically a neutral, would blend all the pics together, but baby would stand out more.

I've read everyones comments and I have to agree with them. Everyone else has hit the same nail I was gonna hit. I think the world of this timeline for first year though. Awesome idea!!

love all the pics here! :d if i were you though, i'll convert them into either B/W or sepia for a more polished or slicker look. :) as for the "time line" idea, below all the photos (spreading from 1st to 2nd page), you may make your own (like the one in the add) but mark those "milestone months"... perhaps like divide the year in quarters (therefore, marking 4 "milestone months." like start with birth to 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, end with 12 months (or first year). kwim? ;) i also notice that there are "redundant" photos (like the new born pics and maybe photos in the same month)... you may want to make this "hidden" photos and atop them are journaling milestones, this will make your page interactive PLUS a great "color blocking" technique. :) i hope i'm not confusing you. i really think this is a great 2-page spread and journaling is as important as those photos. i love the simplicity! ;) very precious page indeed! :d

I really like how you've got all these wonderful photos lined out! Depending on how closely you want to follow the ad, Amy's idea of bw or sepia is pretty cool. Or if you don't want to change all the pics, there seems to be blue in nearly every pic - maybe you could use that as the unifier? Or if it's too much work to remount all the pics on blue.... hmmm. Maybe just draw a blue line down from "One Year" and under the photo, 90 degree angle it and connect it to "One Amazing Year"? I do like the title, too! Very clean and perfect!

Love the time-line idea! If you wanted to have it look a bit more like the ad, you could put a timeline of your own under the photos. Love all the photos you used, you might want to make them all bw or sepitone for an even sleeker look. Love the title too; nice work :)
